5 out of 6 of my injectors tested bad!

Well I finally got a chance today to get my injectors checked, all I can say is I have at least 1 good one!

Last winter I decided to buy a new set of injectors for my SDL, but ever since I have had a skipping problem on start up. So today I pulled them out and had them checked. I had to go to class but my dad took them into the injector shop, pop pressure and leak down was fine but 5 had poor spray patterns. My dad was watching he said the fuel would shoot out in a stream but then it would start to mist? Maybe their is junk in their somehow? Can they be cleaned? I am not to happy with spending another $90 each to have the 5 bad ones re-built. I was under the false impression that when you drop $300+ on 6 rebuilt injectors at least a few of them would be good.

For now I am not doing anything I don't have a spare $500 to spend on them. Also the car seems to be running fine.

Moral of this story is don't waste your money on Bosh injectors have your old ones checked. The kicker is that my originals were probably better then the ones I replaced them with.
