Default were Bosch 0280155789 injectors ever OE in 2000 Calif. XJ?

I recently acquired an unmolested 2000 California/NLEV version XJ. It has Bosch 0280155789 injectors (the green ones). If the injectors were swapped out it was a long time ago based on the grunge on the fuel rail and injector clips. It seems not beyond possibility that Chrysler used these to lower engine out HC emissions.


As I am wondering how long the things have been in there was curious what injectors are in other folks 2000 Cal/NLEV vehicles (if they have not been changed).


Thanks

It came from the factory with "Blue Tip" injectors, not 789's. 789's were installed in Chrysler mini vans with a V6. I think the 789's are not what you need. They spray at an angle, not straight in.

Thanks for replying to my post.


It's interesting that the Bosch 0280155789 injectors seem to be a popular "upgrade" injector for XJ's of this vintage. I will say that mine starts instantly, has great drivability, and FE is as advertised.


I no longer have Highland Park as a source of this sort of info.


Thanks

Sure they don't say 0280155784? Those are the infamous upgrade
