Default HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!!!

Hello I'm new to the forum and to jeeps
Anyways I need major help
I wen out to start my 1988 jeep cherokee sport 4.0 HO this morning and I let my jeep warm up b4 leavening the house so when I came back out to leave I noticed a small puddle under my front diff
I swabbed it with my finger and noticed it was GAS!!!
So I piped my hood and my 3rd injector in from the front is leaking
I would guess these r the OEM injectors and I bet the o rings are shot
So my ? Is should I rebuild my injectors or buy new one and if I buy new one what one should I put in
I don't have mile deep pockets so I need something somewhat cheep not saying I'm trying to rig something up I just don't want to spend 300 to 400 dollars on injectors
Someone please help

Members on this forum are frequently selling injectors they've pulled and cleaned from the junkyard. I bought some from someone on here and they've lasted 20k miles and still going. Look in the ForSale section. You might be able to find an upgrade- some injectors have better atomization and spray patterns.

I'd recommend just upgrading with some used injectors that have been cleaned. The o-rings are easy to replace when you swap them out.

X2...if you want the absolute cheapest route, just buy the o-rings and replace them, but if you're gonna go that far, might as well get some better injectors in there as well....

Best for the 1987-1990 Renix are actually 746s from a Volvo. See here:

O rings are about $15, I'd start there. It takes about 20/30 minutes to install.

During 1987-1990 the Jeep brand was owned by Renault. They introduced the 4.0L I6 engine with a combination of their own Renault technology and established Bendix tech. Renault/Bendix = Renix. It technically refers to just the fuel injection/computer system but there are other differences between the Renix series of Jeeps and the rest of the production (under Chrysler or under AMC proper)

High Output was made by Chrysler starting in 1991. 1988 is a Renix.
