Funny that I don’t need your advice but here I am at 1am watching this. Your instructions are perfect and straight to the point. I enjoy watching these videos because again you are going about it correctly with good commentary. Keep it up man.
If you really want me to I can tell you about the color of the sheets on my bed, the angle of the gutters on my house, a not-so-brief story about a trip I took 8 years ago, my opinion on the flavor of ketchup and I might even throw in some politics to alienate 1/2 my viewers. I might even be able to do all this while showing off my brand new car and still having the nerve to ask you to send me money. But, I guess you're just not interested in that kind of thing 😎
Another vid I watched for this process suggested disconnecting the battery cables and touching them together to reset the computer so the computer would learn the new fuel mapping. I don’t know if that is necessary or not. Good video. Thank you for posting.
thanks, have to change mine out in my 2003 jeep Tj as well I thought I would have to disconnect the fuel rail or pull a relay in fuse box a lot of other channels make this look complicated
I find that with a lot of channels they "want" it to look complicated so that they can say, "Look what I can do." I show the truth about how simple it is to say, "Look what YOU can do." Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Stay well.
Thanks for the video! What symptoms were you experiencing letting you know it was time to replace the injectors? In other words, how do you know whent it's time to replace them?
Removing the fuel rail "can" be less messy if you are not familiar with replacing injectors. However, it might cause you to need to re-pressurize the fuel system before restarting. I have never found it necessary on any injector replacement I have ever done on any vehicle.
I noticed that, unlike SOME videos involving changing injectors, that you did not RE-pressurize your fuel rail. Is this essential? My 2005 Wrangler does not have a bleeding port on the fuel rail, iike earlier models. Most people simply pull the fuel pump relay and turn the engine over for several revolutions to DE-pressurize the system. Not sure how I would RE-pressurize the fuel rail other than simply turning it over.
I just turn it over and it re-pressurized just fine. Just cracked 200k on this beast 2 weeks ago (even did a #shorts video showing the odometer click over). Hope the video helped. Peace.
LOL! I dig it! He has better hair and a far cooler mustache than me. Also, I do not know about 2004-2006 specifically, but those were still TJ years, so it "should" be the same. Thanks for watching. Comment made my day!
@@HNXMedia haha, so true for me the past couple years. At least I got about 20 years of almost zero issues whatsoever with my TJ before doing all these updates
@@SeriouslyAwesome Nice! Yeah, I only replaced all of these because of an issue with a single cylinder. Figured it was better to make them all the same (4 hole) instead of mix/match. Instantly fixed the problem. I want to drive this beast until I can put historic plates on it. See ya on the trails! Stay safe. Peace.
@@HNXMedia same. And I bought some 12 hole injectors to test out a few weeks ago to see if it would improve my idle, but it seems changing my clutch last week fixed all that lol
No, I did not bother to depressurize the fuel rail (I like living on the edge - just joking...kind of). You SHOULD depressurize the rail first. However, I never have with any vehicle I have ever changed out fuel injectors on. That is just the way I do it. You usually get a little "pressure pop" and minor fuel leak, but nothing major - clean up with no more than a paper towel. To depressurize, I think you disconnect or pinch-off the fuel line and then run the vehicle until it quits, but I am not entirely sure....again, since I have never done it that way. Hope this helps.
Thanks! It was a time consuming job (made 3 times longer by filming) but well worth not taking to a mechanic. Just hope the video helps other folks. Peace.
If they are easily accessible and you are confident in what you're doing, absolutely. Especially if it is an older vehicle. That being said, it is not 100% necessary and can be a little tricky (making sure not to knock dirt into the ports). Thanks for watching. This is a great suggestion.
@@HNXMedia Thanks for your reply. This job proved really challenging for me. I'm not a gifted mechanic, and everything I learn is through videos and trial and error. Lots and lots of error...
Performance, yes. The Jeep is certainly running "better," (but that is just my opinion). Gas milage is hard to say. This thing has only ever gotten 16mpg and at 201555 miles, I can't expect much more out of her.
Thank you for the quick response! I followed the link and noticed it says 1999-2004 on the Wrangler. My Jeep is a 1998, do you think it would work on mine or is it going to be a different part #?
I’ve seen a lot of bad reviews for inline 6 engines and these injectors. I have an 02 I6 4.0 L you think I should just spend the extra 30 bucks and get Mopar remanufactured?
True that. For some reason when you try to buy a set of "fuel injector specific" o-rings, they artificially inflate the price. Best to have some on-hand especially for the novices who might not know enough to get the ID & ED measurements right. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
I think the one-hole to four-hole injector myth is a panacea. There's no real 'upgrade' to it. Great video though. I wish Chrysler had kept using the YJ injectors on the TJ. My YJ has never had fuel system issues ever, but my TJ has had a bunch of fuel system issues. Watching this before I head outside to pull the injectors and possibly have them rebuilt.

Appreciate the solid support! Do me a favor and get some sleep, friend. 😎
You are to the straight to the point and no other talk about the sun going down or gas to high… JUST THE INFO WE NEED! Thanks for the knowledge sir 👍🏻

@@HNXMedia 😂😂😂😂😂
I wish all DIY video were this clear. Great job
Thank YOU! Hope the video was helpful and got you back up and running. Stay well.
Great video - thank you! I am changing injectors on my '97 Wrangler this weekend and using this video to guide me through the process.
Hope the video makes the job easier. Thanks for watching and leaving a great comment. Best of luck - happy Jeeping!
This video made cleaning my ejectors a breeze. Great Tutorial. Thanks!
Glad it helped! Time to get back on the trails. Peace.
Made it easy to change out my old injectors and put in OEM re-manufactured ones. Thanks for help
Awesome! Glad the video was helpful. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Stay well!
Excellent video. I am looking to changing the plugs and Injectors on my 2002 Jeep wrangler. This video is very helpful Thank you 🙂
Glad to hear! Nice to hear another 2002 still out there on the roads and trails! Put the miles on her! Safe Jeeping!
Getting ready to do the same to my 04. I’m the original owner. I’m also adding a 62mm throttle body and some E3 plugs.
That throttle body is a great upgrade. Seen it on others, but never tried it myself. More $ than I am willing to drop right now. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for this video very helpful information just remember to blow or clean that intake before removing the fuel rail and injectors
Good tip! Thanks for watching!
Hey hi, great instruction, wondering what the symptoms are for a dirty injector?
Great damn vid. Piece of cake if you just take your time and watch closely. Great tip on hanging onto the old O-rings.
Thanks for the positive comment! Glad the video was helpful. Stay well.

Thanks for the video! What symptoms were you experiencing letting you know it was time to replace the injectors? In other words, how do you know whent it's time to replace them?
I've seen other vids that also disconnect the fuel line from the rail. What's the reason for not doing this? Thanks, great vid.

Sounds just like nick offerman... also is there a difference in 2004-2006 injectors can't seem to find any aftermarket that included thoes years

Good demo for those inclined to drive jeeps :-)
Drive? I'm supposed to drive this thing? I spend more time fixing it than driving it.
@@HNXMedia exactly. Get a Toyota Highlander :-)
@@HNXMedia haha, so true for me the past couple years. At least I got about 20 years of almost zero issues whatsoever with my TJ before doing all these updates

very helpful as I'm about to do same on my '05. is it necessary to de-pressurize the fuel rail before removing?
I didn't, but you certainly can. Pull the fuse for the furl pump and run the vehicle until it quits. That would depressurize the rail.
Great Video! How are the injectors working so far? Really looking into getting those instead of mopar
Loved them. They worked fantastic. Rock solid performance.
Great video very detailed, but did you de pressurized the fuel rail first?
And how did you do it ?
Thank you.
No, I did not bother to depressurize the fuel rail (I like living on the edge - just joking...kind of). You SHOULD depressurize the rail first. However, I never have with any vehicle I have ever changed out fuel injectors on. That is just the way I do it.

Pull the fuel pump fuse which is located under the hood, and run the vehicle until it dies.
Awsome job on the video.
Thanks! It was a time consuming job (made 3 times longer by filming) but well worth not taking to a mechanic. Just hope the video helps other folks. Peace.
Great video! thank you! Did you experience better fuel economy?
Slightly, but much better performance overall.
Great video -- would you recommend cleaning the fuel injector ports before putting in the new injectors?
If they are easily accessible and you are confident in what you're doing, absolutely. Especially if it is an older vehicle. That being said, it is not 100% necessary and can be a little tricky (making sure not to knock dirt into the ports). Thanks for watching. This is a great suggestion.
How do I know my new injectors are properly seated into the engine? I cant tell if I've pushed them in far enough.
You should kind of feel them "pop" into place as the o-ring seats. Once the fuel rail is re-installed, it should seat them snugly.
@@HNXMedia Thanks for your reply. This job proved really challenging for me. I'm not a gifted mechanic, and everything I learn is through videos and trial and error. Lots and lots of error...
while i don't have a jeep good to know that you know what you are doing lol
At least it "looks" like I know what I'm doing.
So no lube around o ring..got it.
It's been a year, any update? Did it help performance and fuel economy? If so, how did it turn out
Performance, yes. The Jeep is certainly running "better," (but that is just my opinion). Gas milage is hard to say. This thing has only ever gotten 16mpg and at 201555 miles, I can't expect much more out of her.
Very well explained thank you
Hope it helps get you back on the trails. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Peace.
What brand you buy and how much
Did you apply any lube on the orings?
You can, I cannot remember if I did or not.
Good video. Big thanks.
Hope the video helped! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
Dose replacement affect the ecm ?
Not that I ever noticed.
Thank you!
You're welcome! Hope it helped.
Where did you get your injectors?
Right here: amzn.to/39NXvw5
Thank you for the quick response! I followed the link and noticed it says 1999-2004 on the Wrangler. My Jeep is a 1998, do you think it would work on mine or is it going to be a different part #?
May I ask why you went with 4 hole over a 12 hole injector?
Honestly, they were the only ones in stock at the time.
@@HNXMedia oh ok, I gotcha
I’ve seen a lot of bad reviews for inline 6 engines and these injectors. I have an 02 I6 4.0 L you think I should just spend the extra 30 bucks and get Mopar remanufactured?
Orings are super cheap, but not the worst thing keeping extras handy
