Common problem of Nissan injectors

Any idea at what point year wise did this problem start. And if Nissan has taken any action to fix the problem. dk

I recently replaced two fuel injectors on my '95. The first one was under the manifold, the second right up front. I paid labour on the first, the dealer did the second for free labour. I paid $200.00 CAD for each injector and previously discounted and agreed to price, oherwse, full pin was $250.00 CAD.

I asked them if they thought that a fuel injector which is a very primitive piece of mechanics was really worth the price paid, they said yes, but said it was a high tech marvel. I wnet back the next day with an older 4GB disk drive open for them to examine the heads and various other things inside and asked the question again. I told them thye could purchase a 40GB drive today fro around $85.00 CAD. Maybe the auto industry needs a Bill Gates after all?

What does Bill Gates have to do with a price of a hard drive? If it was up to him, it sure wouldn't be $85 as he would be the only person you could buy one from!

I replace one injector and just after couple of days another one broken again. Really painful.

Way off topic here but Bill Gates said a computer for every desk was his vision, it may have been for every person at one time. Ken Olsen, the president of my company, DEC, said snake oil, only large corporations require computers.

So, under Bill's model you make 100's of millions of computers, prices become lower for much of the computer material, monitors, disk drives, keyboard, etc...

Under Ken Olsen's vision, we build millions of computers and prices stay relatively high for the parts, disk drives remain at $1200.00 USD, monitors cost $2500.00 USD. Printers cost $15,000 USD for colour.

SO if there were an Automobile Bill Gates, with a vision like, 5 cars in every garage, fuel injectors might be $10.00 USD, their real value, and not an overloaded $250.00 USD.

That's why some (smarter) places recommend doing all the injectors at once. It's cheaper in the long run. Especially with the Nissan injectors that are known to fail
