Before hijacking someone else's thread anymore, I'll start a new one. Are there many different injectors out there that will fit right into the 2.9 (and work okay) off of newer vehicles? I have an '89 that is running a little rich (especially when warmed up) and barely runs. And yes, I've replaced or at least checked out all other ignition/ fuel related components and sensors so it leaves me with leaking injectors as my problem or at the very least a main contributor. The reason why I ask what other injectors will work is because I really don't want to shell out close to 400 bucks for new 2.9 ones (probably more than that truck is worth!) and two, I really don't trust getting something so old used from a scrap yard (they'll probably be in worse condition than the ones that I have). I was buying set of XLT doors from another BII owner the other day (I have the XL and can't stand those dinky mirrors!) and he said that he had 4.6 lightening injectors installed in his. Unfortunately he had his all apart (familiar BII site) and I couldn't listen to it to see how it ran. He said that they fit right in and had just a little more output, but shouldn't be an issue. Is that true? Can the BroncoII ECMs make enough compensations for different injectors or is it only safe to run the OEM ones? Any suggestions appreciated.
