Default Re: Fuel additives

I know. I don't think injectors were ever done on my car. So I would think I am due. 1990 car with 5,000 miles on it. When do you start to have issues with them??

Chemical reactions or interactions are affected by the concentration of the reagents and temperature and exposure time. Miles driven is NOT a factor (per se').

One key indicator of the coil's condition is the resistance value BUT ONLY MEASURED WHEN THE COILS ARE NEAR OPERATING (HOT) CONDITION.

The original resistance of the coils is 12-13 ohms for OE injectors. A reading of 10 ohms when the rest is @ 12.x IS an indicator the injector is in trouble. A reading of 8 ohms OR LESS is a BAD injector.

Only a matter of time (in an alcohol enviornment) before the susceptible injectors will fail, i.e., the OE injectors in the 90-92 ZR-1s. Period.

My car had 8000 miles when the injectors died. You will do it sooner or later. Do you work on your car?
