Fuel Fuel Injector Failure - I found one for less money
Hello,
Just a note to let you all know that my 01 Civic had a fuel injector fail. It was easy to diagnose and take apart myself. The hard part was calling the dealer and finding out that a fuel injector for this model costs $560 for one! My insurance deducatble is less than that, so one option was to drive it off a cliff and collect insurance money! - - -I didn't do that. . .
I did more looking around and found some for $300 at some places that was at least a week out. I stoped looking when I contacted Autozone. Not only could they get me one that cost $165ish, I could get it the next day. If it was the wrong part, they would take it back, so I had nothing to lose.
It WAS the right part and I had my car running the next day. I had it all back together in about 20 minutes and what looked like a very bad situation, turned out to be less than $200 bucks.
