Fuel injector rebuild service ?

I’m thinking of sending my fuel injectors out for a rebuild and cleaning, what companies have you guys dealt with ? 04 Tacoma 2rz 180k miles

 

It might be easier to purchase rebuilt Denso injectors online from a company that does such a thing and warranties the injectors. Furthermore I sent them my original injectors and got a rebate. If I'm not mistaken I found them on eBay and it was a company out of Hollywood CA.

 

why are your injectors bad?
there is discussion that these should last an extremely long time

 

I’ve been chasing a rough idle issue not so bad that i can’t drive it, furor filter replaced year ago , fuel regulator checks out,so I’m thinking a dirty injector

 

Exactly just preventative maintenance

What company would you recommend ?

 

On a different car forum, one of the moderators and a couple of members bought some injectors from a seller in CA that were advertised as remanufactured originals. Amazingly, this seller had an endless supply of rebuilt injectors. It took a while but they eventually determined the injectors being sold as remanufactured were actually new from China.

If I went that route to get new screens, o-rings, and pintle caps (as applicable), I would prefer to send my own healthy injectors to a "service company" that advertises as such.

This company in Houston TX does a good job of explaining injector servicing.

That looks to be it.

 

Here's a post on how to spot counterfeit injectors.

You need to able to see the side of the injector with the part number and look for the testing control lot number.

I am not saying all pink injectors for sale on eBay are counterfeit. But I was able to spot these counterfeits. Note the information in the above link about how to identify counterfeit injectors.



Let's be careful out there.

The seller only has 13 reviews as a seller

 

I found this injector under that seller for the 3.4L Now let's compare it to a counterfeit from China that I just happened to have on hand. BRB

 

This is too funny.. Real OEMs are made in Japan -- not the USA. Here's a picture of a made in China counterfeit injector. Notice the orange o-ring is placed on the bottom like the one in the picture. Also, notice the mold markings (circles) are identical.

 

Look no further:https://motorwestperformance.com/ Since you're in SoCal, you could just go and visit them.

In case you need a video to help you do the job of pulling and replacing the injectors, here you go:

Just to point out the injectors pictures on Motorwest site have the actual marking from an OEM injector. I agree the injector in the picture looks like a reconditioned (e.g. new o-rings, screens, pintle cap, cleaned and tested) OEM injector.

The yellow arrow in the picture points to the original testing lot number from Aisan.
