The Verdict - $700 for a New Injector and Spark Plug Wires 90Q20V

[SJ]

The replacement Bosch plug wire set was $55 for my 5kq . . .last year.
Plugs are about $1.45 each.
Injectors dont "fire" . .they are "on" all the time. Injectors do get dirty
over time and dont have a nice spray pattern anymore. Have a looksee and see
if they really did change an injector. Why do I think that they did'nt?
Did you post here on your problem? Did you get advice on what the likely
culprits were?
My hemmorhoids are acting up when looking at the prices you paid. But, thats
the price paid for not doing it yourself.

I just finished doing some work on an acquaintences 91 100.

- Replace Heater blower motor
- Diagnose Stall Problem - replace O2 sensor
- Rebuild driver door key lock/door handle mechanism, lube lock and
regulator
- Disassemble 3 doors, lube 4 door lock linkages, trunk lock and window
regulators
- Rebuild 2 rear door window regulator motors
- Repair headlights, clean hyd hoses, clean gnds - conn contacts, tires,
wheel lug torque, air cleaner, new battery and hardware, vac pump, recirc
spring, wiper blade fixed, lic plate hdwr, adjust trunk springs, check
exhaust, mount spare tire and jack

Total was $1140.00  with the parts. Oh yeah, and I washed the car and vacuum
cleaned it, cleaned all the leather seats. Them kids can really mess it up
bad.

Want me to work on yours?  hehehehe
