nope, they're not a direct swap.

They will work, but you'll have to eliminate the resistor pack from an already trouble prone wiring harness.

Are these new injectors or at least matched and cleaned and such?

What do you mean an already trouble prone wiring harness. I do not know any info he just told me that he had some from an 88.

Our wiring harnesses are the cause of lots of problems. if you have one that doesn't have any known problems, its best to leave it alone.

What do you need new injectors for? I'm sure you'd have no problems finding a set of S4 injectors for little more than the postage to get them to you. Kevin Landers probably has a bucket full of them at any given time. (if he doesn't throw them out)

like the rx7 runs fine but if you cut the car off you have a window of like 2 minutes to cut it back on. if not it floods the engine and you have to wait like 5-6 hours before you try to crank it again. a knowledgable friend of mine says it is the fuel system. so he suggested to get new injectors and then fuel pump if those don't fix the problem. i cannot find injectors anywhere at a reasonable price. who is kevin landers. do you think he can help me out?

He owns rotary ressurection and posts here under the name hypntyz7 (I think)

He's a great guy and runs a fair business so he should be able to help you out.

It ain't the fuel pump. I can promise you that.

they are a direct swap in, you can just put them in and you'll have no problems. Both cars are S4s. $15/each seems reasonable, but how to you know that they're good?

88's use high impedence injectors. THEY WILL NOT WORK! (without hacking into the harness, and if you have to ask these questions you have no buisness doing such a thing)

Please know what you're talking about if you try to contradict someone who does.
