I'm looking for a low cost/test set of injectors to install in my 86 GT. I can get a new set for the price of a cleaning. I'd be throwing money away if all 6 didnt clean up enough to work. So its either low cost new or refurbs in my budget.
Standard brand comes up with several numbers FJ9, FJ27, FJ27T, FJ111
Are they all the same 15lb or what do I need? is 17lb better or is that a different topic?
17# is too much for a stock 2.8. Contact Fuelinjectorconnection.com at 770-888-1662. They are familiar with Fieros. Tell them you need 15# pintle style injectors and see what they have and their prices. They can rebuild and flow-match your injectors for a surprisingly low price.
Have you already checked electrical resistance? I'd look at that before bothering to clean them.
If you want really cheap injectors just for the purposes of testing, you can always go rob a set out of a second-gen "flat top" 3.1 or 2.8- they are also 15lb/hr injectors.

These guys are expensive when compared to the others!

FYI I paid $20 each to get my injectors cleaned and flow tested. Mine are for a different engine and the injectors cost more than cleaning. The company I used did not charge me for the injectors that failed. In your case I would consider buying a set of 6 new matching ones and be done with it.
I bought a set from FIC and they were neither, but then I drove over and picked them up on the day they called me to say they were ready. They did tell me that injectors can begin to have issues if they're left exposed to the air. How long that takes, I don't know, but probably if they've had ethanol fuel run through them they could dry out much quicker. They suggested sealing them or putting a little kerosene in either end and putting them into a baggie with all the air squeezed out if you plan to store them for any time.
Stock ACDelco OEM NOS injectors were vacuum sealed in a cellophane bag inside a box (little bigger than a spark plug box size). It seems later before they went out of production GM started using plastic caps on both ends.They are the pintle design. Over the last 2-3 years I have acquired 18 sealed new ones for my projects at between $25-$50 ea. But now they are almost impossible to find "sealed".

PS, I have a bunch of the flat injectors that have been professionally cleaned with new O-rings in the zip bags they came in from the supplier. If you want some of them PM me (cheap + shipping).

Ok thanks! I sent mine out for cleaning/ect. waiting to hear back if they test good
For those in the Northwest there is a shop that cleans injectors of all types for gasoline engines. Mr. Injector (Bill) does fine work and stands by his work. I highly recommend him since he cleaned up my original V6 injectors last year and checked them at no extra charge when I had a misfire issue recently.
