I have 2 sets (12) of blue tops. I had 6 that wouldn't start the car(7 year old gas). I drained the tank, filled with 8 gallons of premium and 8oz of seafoam. Flushed the lines and fuel rail. Car would not start. Getting power to injectors: 3 out of 6 were not clicking. Decided to buy a used set online: installed and car started, but only running on 3 cylinders-found that 3 out of the 6 I bought were bad(not clicking). My question is, since these
aren't being produced anymore, and since I'm ready to give up on them anyway----Is there a similar injector I can buy new that I can just install, and keep my chip(set up for blue tops, 93 octane, 15 lbs boost)? I just want to get the car to where it will run so I don't have to push it and/or trailer it where I need to go.
 
Why not send them to Chuck and have them checked and cleaned. Out of 12, at leas six should be OK. Also you should try a noid to make sure each is getting power. Might not be he injectors.

Thanks for the reply. All 6 are getting power. I'm going to try and negotiate with the guy I recently bought the 6 injectors from to see if I can get half my money back on the 3 bad ones. $20 per injector for repair/cleaning/balance(x12) plus 2 way shipping adds up quick. Either way I'm looking at $225 or more, new or refurb-for injectors I plan on throwing away when I eventually do my engine upgrades.
 
It's not $20......:D
However, if you are planning upgrades.. just get a set of 60's and a chip and be done with it.
