  • Hello,
    This video shows how to replace and upgrade the fuel injectors on your car/truck. The truck shown in the video is a 1990 Ford Bronco with the 5.8 liter V8, this model truck has compatible newer style injectors that will atomize the fuel better and you can actually gain MPG. My tests resulted in an average gain of about 1 MPG

    Great Video! I acquired a 1989 F250 4x4 truck in an old Ford dealership building (built in 1929) I bought in a small West Texas town. The truck was running when parked 23 years ago. It has 40,000 original miles. It has the 5.8 engine - the exact same as everything in your video. The registration sticker on the windshield is from the year 2000. The key was still in the ignition. I replaced all the tires, new battery, both gas tanks and everything that could be replaced from the tanks to the engine (fuel pump, filter, etc.). Replaced the fuel tank selector valve (on the rail), and the pressure regulator. Now that I've replaced all the fuel system I have plenty of fuel and pressure in the fuel rail, but the truck wont start. It will run on starter fluid, but won't start on its own. It seems to want to start - it seems to fire one cylinder or two - but won't kick over and run. I've never had to deal with a fuel injected engine before. Do you think that a truck sitting for 23 years could use new injectors, or from my description do you think it might be some other issue? I appreciate any advice you can give me. Thanks

    • @TheFixTech
      @TheFixTech  Год назад +4

      Since it starts with starter fluid then it sounds like a fuel issue and not electrical. With that said anything is possible so double check your spark plug wires and firing order, the 5.8 is different than the 5.0, check timing as well. The distributor pickup coil is known to fault and so is the ignition module. Check the coil for spark and check for spark at the plugs. Check the fuel pump relay and ecm relay (they are next to each other and should be replaced in pairs). Check the tps and iac sensor (both located on the throttle body) for 5v supply from ecm, if no 5v supply then either bad ecm, relay, or wiring. Also check for compression.

    I have a 1991 F250 and when you look at the two injectors side by side the bottom tips are way different and FYI both injectors have 4 holes....
    A real upgrade is going to 6 or 8 hole injectors that require adapter plugs but will also need to remove and modify your intake manifold unless you can find some Bosch EV14 19lb 8 hole ..
    What I did to the plastic end caps that snuggly fit inside the perfectly contoured aluminum intake manifold thats designed for the original design is took a countersink bit and opened up the plastic cap tip holes a lil and on a V pattern which exposes the 4 holes and gives them the same spray pattern as those so-called upgrades before theyre installed.
    What happens is that when the so-called upgrade injectors are installed the upgrades sit above the spot those rounded/tapered plastic tips fit into which actually tapers down and when the so-called upgrades sprays fuel into the engine the fuel spray hits the intake manifold where the plastic tip fits into and tapers down......
    When I was looking at a datalog after installing those so-called upgrades I noticed that my engine was doing something it hadnt done before and that was pull over 7% fuel out of the short fuel trims and 11% from the longterm fueltrims so I bought the right injectors and using an old intake manifold and fuel rail plus a fuelpump and an fuel injector checker tool made my own flow chamber and noticed where the gasoline was hitting the 3/8" thick chunk of tapered down aluminum redirecting the spray like a diesel injector for the upgrade injectors so I put those so-called upgrade injectors back in the box and stuck them on the shelf because by using a very tiny countersinking bit opened up the ends of the plastic injector tips on the original style which gave an improved spray pattern.
    After installing the right style injectors with wider v shaped conical tip modifications yielded in my engine only needing a very small amount of fuel on the Short trim and zero on the long trim.......
    Then after I was finished I got to thinking and decided to take my old bridgeport mill and recess 4 of the the old intake injector holes by dropping them down 3/16" and opening up the thru hole 1/16" and left the other 4 injector holes untouched..
    I also had mill off 1/8" off the tops of where the injectors plugged into to compensate in order to get the 4 upgrade injector bodies to drop down 3/16" lower without the injector body causing issues with it going that deep.
    After I got the injector height and fitment sorted I flared out the bottom of the holes on the opposite side of the intake to fit and flow the upgraded injectors then did another spray pattern test between the upgrades and the OEM injectors I modified the endcaps on and alls Ill say is theres no difference in the way the fuel is delivered between the two now but the mods for the so-called upgrades is alot more involved to get the same results................
    I also had to slot the fuelrail bolt holes 3/16" higher to get the upgraded injectors to fit tightly too..

    Great video, just picked up a 94 F-150 with the 5.8 as little project. Couple tips though. I like to cut out a piece of card board to cover the intake and poke holes through it where the mounting bolts go to hold in place. afterwards, I use some sort of compressed air and quick dry cleaner before removing the inejctors to keep any contamintion from getting inside the engine when removed. This is usually because underneath there there's plenty of grease and oil that traps dirt, and I worry about the internals. Probably overkill but I prefer to play on the safe side. Will definetly be trying this out here soon.
    Which injectors did you go with? the ebay or amazon ones? Thanks again, super informative video and well put together

It had only 30.000 about miles and I got the injectors out of it for cheap they look like one hole originals but had 4 holes in the bottom. I do get better fuel mileage with them. Also. You may want to change the alternator to the 130 Amp and 175 mega fuse upgrade. I did and it made a world of difference. . No power loss at all. I got an alternator from a 95 mustang with a v6. You won't be sorry

      @@TheFixTech all good man. Also look up power steering upgrade. Find a 87-96 e150 -350 van with what engine you have . Make sure it's the same engine!!! Get the power steering bracket and pump. The pump should look like the black ones on a chevy. Ford did use them. No more steering whine. And better steering. Get the pressure hose too. You will have to modify end that goes into gear box but that's simple. Look up power steering upgrade. There are a few videos about it here.

    As someone who actually watched your video and is in the middle of attempting this I will say you need to not make mistakes.

My mistake is costing me a world of trouble and something that could have been avoided.

      Well youd think that would be common sense….. i do agree with your father though anytime youre exposing intake manifolds or intake you should stuff a rag in there to prevent stuff from getting inside. A little trick to remember is right after you take your plenum off immediately put clean rags in the holes clean the gasket surface then blow it off with an air compressor pull the rags out then put blue painters tape over the intake manifold holes it prevents anything from getting inside plus when youre done all you have to do is pull the tape off install your gasket and plenum and run it…..👍🏻

    Thanks fotr the video. I went ahead and did this upgrade on my 1995 F-150 5.8 and when I fired up my engine the idle was super high (900 RPMs or so) and waverning. I'm gonna go back and put the old injectors in. Funny enough, the original injectors had 4 holes already so I don't think I"m gaining much by switiching to these newer ones.

      Yes, tire size and psi make a huge difference. Use the correct tire size and 35-40 psi. Is you have 92-96, make sure your speedometer (Psom) is set correctly (in calibration of the original tire size) as people do mess with them. Check speed sensors and TPS sensors makes sure they are in range, these will help with shift points and throttle response. Also coolant temp sensor.

    Hello I have a curious discovery doing this on my '89 5.8. I see in your video the yellow plastic bodies sit close - maybe 1/8" away from intake manifold. The injectors I got are supposedly interchangeble (F4SE-A1B 0280155700 ) and look just like yours, except they are just touching the manifold. Do you know any nuance differences...maybe o-ring sizes...or manifold subtle differences? Thanks....

      Make sure to lightly grease/oil the o rings and make sure they are fully inserted into the fuel rail and manifold, they should pop into place.

    • @joemulqueen
      @joemulqueen Год назад +1

      @@TheFixTech Hello insertion is not the issue - parts are cleaned and lubed going in fine. Its just that the newer design (although slimmer) is actually a bit thicker at bottom of the yellow plastic than the previous metal units. I can see in your video the clearance of the plastic to manifold is very slight (less than 1/8"). On my truck that clearance is less. The injectors will go all the way into the bore and properly seat, but the lack of clearance at the body was initially alarming. Maybe due to casting differences. My 5.8 engine is from mid '89.
