Is the injector for the throttle body problematic.

Ask at the counter, maybe they pull them and have them on the shelf. I have only replaced one on a Metro. My Son-in-Laws 93 Nissan Sentra is another story, we have replaced 1 whole set and a couple more. My Mother-in Law's 91 Subaru with 250k also now has a low mileage used set, they started dying with the ethanol. |

Only injector problem I've had in 25+ years (4 different Metros) is that the wires at the connector that plugs into the injector connection on the intake manifold are a little weak (they get bumped and banged as work is done in the engine compartment) and can break right at the connector. |

Ah yes, dang ethanol. I've replaced my share of Nissan injectors, GA16de and SR20de. Would be nice to see a quality, replacement injector for the G10, and run it at 4bar (higher pressure, better atomization). |

There are three injector bosses on the head but we would have to run a stand alone system to control them. I really don't care that much, it would be cool though. Hey, hunting season is coming up and the car runs fine.

We've also got a bung on the back of the block on the number two cylinder that can be drilled out and tapped for a knock sensor. |

I've seen the fuel injector go for $300 on eBay new. So yes, I can see people removing them and selling for $50-100 used on eBay. |
