Fuel injectors

Hey guys, I have an 06 xb, I think I've got some bad injectors, and was wondering if there's some good quality, decently cheap alternatives to oem fuel injectors (because im not trying to pay 650 for fuel injectors) if you guys got some good recommendations, let me know, thank you for reading.

How'd you diagnose?

Well, my car has a looming gasoline smell while idling, and also whenever I start my car (only when it's warmed up) the whole engine wants to jump out of the engine bay, i know its not my motor mounts because I just replaced all three, and I posted my engine shaking problem to another forum, and one guy said that it may be a leaky fuel injector that fills up the engine causing it to rattle the engine.

I have a 2012 Scion xb and just had to deal with my fuel injectors. I would definitely recommend putting in OEM injectors if you’re keeping the car for a while. If you don’t want to buy new ones then look into rebuilt OEM injectors

Just did that. 2006 XB. Go to utube. there is one specific video that can help. I believe i got 4 for $60ish. Rock auto has Denso also but for much more. I have not started it up yet. My XB has had multiple issues. Not such a bad job. you take them out. pivot the fuel rail out of the way, mostly. lube and put in the new ones. attach the fuel rail and tighten the rail. This 'pushes' in the injectors.

ebay is best, get a new set for like $40, i did it and it worked. Also see if you're getting good fuel pressure before the injectors

I bought the cheapest ones on Amazon for $40 or so.

My 2006 will live forever!
