injctors sitting awhile,, need attention before install?
I just bought a flow matched set (by cruzin performance) of #19 injectors, bosch stockers, from a board member. theve been sitting for almost a year now, after he put 5k miles on em. I was told they were only taken off so he could upgrade to a higher # injector. Is there anything I should run through em to clean out any dust or old fuel residue that may be in there before I install them?

Carb cleaner and make sure you bench test them before installation.

Re: injctors sitting awhile,, need attention before install?
I will be taking my intake apart in the next few weeks as I need to fix a coolant leak. Can you send a PM my way as well or post info here? If there is something I can do other than just an Ohm test to determine the status of my injectors, I would like to do it.

You don't have to worry about them.They were all wrapped and left in the box that I shipped them in.They were never left in the open and they were cleaned before they were put away
