CIS injector replacment and injector lifetimes

[Bernard Littau]

How are the injector cooling fan, sensor, and plastic duct in this car?

Usually, the plastic duct is all cracked, and the sensor no longer functions
except when really, really, hot.  I suspect that your new injectors were not
seeing good after-run cooling, thus the shortened life.

Best,
