Hi guys,
Next issue on the list....
I replaced the injectors on my 2007 2.4 manual. I got a remanufactured set from RA. The originals were grey and the ones I received were also grey but with the new set the car was difficult to start and after it was up to temp it sounded like a diesel. It also had reduced power. I drove it for about 3 weeks hoping that maybe the ECM needed to adjust or something but there was zero improvement. This morning I swapped the originals back and the issue went away. Anybody had a similar experience? It's clearly an issue with the injectors I received but I don't know if it was only one or a bad batch or what. RA has virtually no customer service either.

 

Which brand did you order?
Autoline or GB
What part number?
When you click on info, you can see information for the manufacturer warranty

RA just sells the parts I recommend contacting the manufacturer.

I’ve never had a problem with the AC Delco brand

 

If you click on

Order status and returns , this drop down appears. Fill it out.

 

They are GB. Same part# that's on your screen shot. Honestly I don't know why I didn't get AC Delco... I don't remember seeing new ones. Only remanufactured ones... But they are clearly there so the problem is in my head (so I was told by some people).
I can return them but I would prefer talking to someone about the issue. There is a line on the return form where you can explain the problem but it only lets you enter like 40 characters or so.

 

Modern tech, the way things are done these days

 

In the wabac I found that rebuilt cost as much as new, about $20 each. The part number should be printed on the injector.

I got a set of ACDelco on ebay for $80. From China, but got them in 10 days.
