So this will be a quick post..I've gotten confused with all the information out there on the injector upgrades... And hopefully this will help someone else out one day..

Ive got a bone stock 1998 4.0 I6
I'm going to do it my self,,So I need:

- 703 neon/stratus injectors 1995-1997
- new o-rings
- some kinda cleaners
- some more help
- help on how to clean them


So any advice you guys could give me would greatly appreciated


Thanks

Is this basically all I need to do to clean them?

 

http://www.fordfuelinjection.com/?p=82 there ya go... that is the long and short of it. Ford=same style injectors (ev1 Bosch) good info sight with pics.

 

Can I take out my old injectors ans clean them, and then put them back in? or would I need new o-rings and all of that?

 

Never a good.idea to take em out and put them back with the original rings.

 

So I just wondering if I can reuse the Pintle Caps from my stock injectors only came with 3 of those caps. And I got new, o-rings btw

Whats a pintle cap you ask?


This:

 

Yes you can. Just clean em.

 

Haha well that you Slick, no one else is helping me out!

Im just a little worried about doing, for every one success story there is, there's like two bad ones. haha

I dont know we'll see I have them soaking in injector cleaner right now..Ill try and do it tomorrow even though I'm a little worried about about doing it

 

Never reuse o-rings if possible. They have a tendency to tear especially with age. The last thing you want is to have is a pressurized fuel leak at the rail. Also, take a good look at the fuel rail while it is off of the car. Mine was corroded at the ports and if yours is also, take time to clean it up before you press the injectors back in. The corrosion can rip the new o-rings. I found this out the hard way. I used a Dremel with the wire brush attachment. I used a small amount of motor oil on both rings with each injector to press them back into place during install. This makes them seat easier with less chance of damage.

When I swapped the engine in the '97, I replaced the injectors with a set of Bosch. They have three spray ports instead of the usual one. Makes for better atomization of fuel. I like the performance of them and the cost was very reasonable.

If you need any help with this, just e-mail me. officer64@aol.com.

 

No I got new orings. but I only have 3 of the neon pintle caps..Can I use the stock pintle caps?
