Broken fuel injector. Can I replace just one? Or the tip of this broken one?

[jcook100]

Hi there,

I was cleaning my fuel injectors last night and managed to drop the sixth and final one I was cleaning. It hit the ground and cracked/removed the plastic tip-thing as seen in the photo. Should I just replace the whole injector? Or can I replace just that plastic part (the metal tip does not seem to be bent/broken)? If I replace the whole injector, which is the way I am leaning, is it okay to replace just one of the six injectors? The other five seem to be fine. Thanks.

They sell them individually. I replaced mine with a Bosch purchased from rock auto.

from the looks of it, I would get a new o ring kit for all of them, its only a few bucks.

You can buy an O-ring and pintle kit. The broken plastic piece is the pintle, they just snap on. I would get the kit and replace all the rings and pintles and clean them, the injector itself is probably fine.

If you can find the same brand get that one. I just had a bad injector on my 4.0 Jeep motor and I just bought one to replace it. Turned out to be just a hair taller so my fuel rail teeter totted on it. I ended up replacing them all with the newer 4-hole type.
