oem fuel injectors finally gave up - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

lbszr · 03-02-2008

Guess it's time for Accel's. Getting ready to reinstall oem inj. so checked resistance and found one at 7 and one at 11 below limits, so thought would do the oven method with 160 degrees, now there's 5 more bad when hot, but fall right into perfect limits when cooled down.

It seemed like it was a little rougher running last fall especially when cold, but ran good overall, accelerated smooth in 6th gear, so they must not of totally failed, but on the way.

Any negatives with Accel's out there?

So far only one bad report.

I've had the Accels in my '90 for over a year now with no problems.

Apparently they were the old style non stainless injector though.
