I've been reluctant to replace them because of less than 50k miles and with other CIS-E cars never needed to, even after 100k+ miles. Oh well. Maybe I'm lean at idle but without an exhaust gas analyzer I've no way to know. Runs great otherwise so I've 'lived with it.'
Right...same here. I've driven the 300TE every day for the last 4 years with the problem...It doesn't effect its ability to drive...only the idle quality at the lights.

Fair enough. With new insulators and seals included total is $178 from ********arizona. Not too bad. Glad the K-Jet are so cheap compared to other x-jet systems. Gonna replace the insulators for good measure...last thing I would want is to skimp on $25 and have the problem revolve around leaking insulators...
