dkmcgowan Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I want to replace my Fuel injectors. This is a 89 4.0 Renix... I've read that Cruiser says the Volvo ones are the best 0280155746 http://www.ebay.com/itm/200902253274?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT I've also read the flow is not right and you should use the Bosch ones, I think they are (0280150943) http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-Yr-Warranty-Bosch-Upgrade-4-Hole-87-90-4-0L-Jeep-Inline-6-Fuel-Injector-Set-/131566828419?hash=item1ea1fe7b83&vxp=mtr&autorefresh=true I know people like the ones from this guy. http://precisionautoinjectors.com/collections/jeep-injectors/products/bosch-3rd-generation-4-hole-upgrade-ev6-fuel-injectors-for-1987-1995-jeep-4-0l-engines I think those are the same as my second eBay link... I keep reading different things though. Some say you need more fuel pressure, or a different regulator, or to change sensors, or to tune things differently, etc... I've got a leaking stock injector and some are clogged and figured I should upgrade. I'm looking for plug and play, no down sides, would get stock OEM ones, but they are more expensive and prone to leaking, so that seems stupid. Not looking for performance enhancements or anything crazy, just good running better than factory, plug and play injectors. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1989 Eliminator Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Nope. I would STRONGLY suggest going through a guy Programbo (username on Jeep Cherokee fourm). He sells fully cleaned (ultrasonic cleaning and reverse flushed) for $80 and gives you two extra injectors usually. Volvo 746 injectors refurbished from Programbo on Cherokee Forum He can get them to you within a few days because he has a ton in stock. In my honest opinion, this guy was the cheapest and easiest way of getting upgraded injectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exgrayxj Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Cruiser's advice has always been golden in my case ... The second option, the 2 piece injectors, I would avoid, often they leak at the plastic/steel juncture. Mine did, right after I kitted the originals. The third set would also work, I believe the main thing to look for is the plug in connection, make sure you don't get something off the wall. Your original injectors use a metal clip, not used with the one piece body, more injection hole, later style. If Cruiser recommended that particular injector, that is where I would go. There are also some Ford ones that will work, and they are pretty much the same look as the Volvo ones, I assume there is an advantage to the Volvo ones.

Egm89 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 The Volvo injector work better on renix engines, the Ford on HO. Well at least thats what I have read. Btw I'm running volvo on my 87, and it works wonders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkmcgowan Posted July 31, 2015 Author Share Posted July 31, 2015 So the Volvo are plug and plug, nothing else needed to put them in, and no new fuel pump or regulator? If so, I'm in... I am sending a PM to Programbo now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOrnbrod Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 I use the "Neon" injectors (Bosch 0 280 155 703) for the stroker with a Hesco adj. fuel pressure regulator. These are EV6 injectors with EV1 connectors (no adapters needed using the stock 91-95 HO harness). The Neon injectors also work well for the stock HOs using the factory regulator. Got them from Programbo also. Good guy............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkmcgowan Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 Programbo on Cherokee forum............Knows his stuff. Does he sell on ebay or anywhere other than the forum? From what I can tell no... I sent him a PM on cherokeeforum on Friday, the 31st... He hasn't responded yet, but could just be busy... He hasn't posted on there since the 25th, not sure how often he looks or how many orders he has coming in... I want to get good ones, so I plan to give him another week, but after that I'm sure I will get impatient and just get them off eBay and try my luck.

dkmcgowan Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share Posted August 4, 2015 I'm getting impatient... I'm watching these now on eBay... http://www.ebay.com/itm/271325770349?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT I want them from Programbo, but not sure how long that will take... I know it's only been 5 days, but I'm dying to install these in my car... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1989 Eliminator Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 He took a few days for me too but he will respond. Once he does itll take 2-3 days to ship. I trust him over ebay. Who knows if those injectors are clean or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkmcgowan Posted August 10, 2015 Author Share Posted August 10, 2015 I ended up going with the ones from eBay from my link. Programbo said on 7/20 "I still clean, rebuild and sell occassional sets when I have the time" The eBay person has 99.9% positive rating, thousands of people giving great reviews on the quality and function, offers a warranty, good return policy, and I ordered a pack of 8 so I will have two extra. Kinda expensive, but I'm ready for this upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
