Kyle,
Do what you think best, but... Your stock injectors are the same size as
the Motorsport's you had in. Did you buy the regular set of Motorsport
injectors, or did you buy the balanced set? If they are the balanced set,
you're about to pay to have the same thing done to your stock injectors.
The How long did you give the computer to re-learn your driving habits after
replacing the injectors? You should allow around two weeks for this. It
takes longer than a day or two.

Subject: DML: Stock Injector Servicing

I am hopefully going to send my stock injectors into the following company:
http://www.fuelinjectors.com/
I have sent various emails to this company and have recieved extremely fast
and informative information. Here is what I originally asked both companies:
> Hi there, I own a 93 Dodge Dakota 4x4 V6(3.9L). I recently bought and
>installed a set of Ford MotorSport #19 Injectors. While they did make
>my truck run better, it is also making my truck run rather rich. I am
hoping
>that by re-installing my stock injectors, will cure the rich problem. I
kept my
> stock fuel injectors, and possibly would like to send them to your company
> to get them completely cleaned inside and out, as well as having them
> balanced/blueprinted. The stock injectors have about 130,000 miles on
>them. What is the cost of doing this work for my V6 set of stock injectors?

Their reply:
>"Hi Kyle,Thank you for contacting EPI
>Kyle don't feel bad you are one of MANY who thought bigger was better.
>The cost to clean, test & rebuild set of 6 injectors is $142.95/set
>Out objective is not only to get fuel flow to like new but have injectors
>matched to within 3% or less
>Charge for complete job
>Freight = N/C
>Handling= $3.00
>Insurance= $2.80
>Injectors=$142.95
>Total = $148.75
>Put a note in with the injectors asking for data to include lb/hr.
>I will have to know what fuel pressure ford used to determine there spec.
>Or let me know what the spec is for your engine fuel pressure.
>Were the new Ford injectors the same part number.
>Web site www.fuelinjectors.com
>Yes we do take Visa ort Master care.
>If when you reinstall the original injectors the engine still runs rich
>you might have a sensor going bad
>You will get a data sheet back with the injectors.
>Take care
>Gene
>You will receive a data sheet which will show before and after test results
>If you have any questions give me a call at (562) 693-8236

I tried RC Engineering(http://rceng.com/index.htm) and never recieved an
email back from them.
I also sent, and did recieve, an email to/from Marren Motor
Sports(http://www.injector.com/).
Their response was: "The cost to do your injectors is $142.50. They are in
the shop one to two
working days. We take M/C , Visa.
Tim MMS"

So, I am not 110% still who I am going to send them into. I am going to call
around this week to see if I can work with someone locally to get my stock
injectors cleaned and balanced. If someone in my area can 'rework' my
stockers for $150, then I think I will just have it done locally. I will let
everyone know what I find out.
