I order them routinely from Checkers/Autozone. They are fairly inexpensive.

ok--someone PLEASE give me a hand here....I appreciate the ideas, but none of them are helping. I went to both sites and didnt find the o-rings on either....now Autozone has no clue what I am looking for(or so they tell me) and Advance Auto only sells a "kit" for each injector--that means I will hafta spend around $60 just to get 4 little o-rings!! PLEASE help....

If you have the injectors out, need the O rings, why not consider going the whole nine yards and have the injectors professionally cleaned/balanced. A few additional bucks but prolly well worth it.
Give these folks a look see. http://www.cruzinperformance.com/fuelinj.html

If you can, take your injectors out, take them to whatever store you want, have them bring some o-rings to the counter and go through them 'til you find the size that fits.

The dealership up here wants $2 apiece for the damn things when they cost pennies anywhere else. You just gotta know what size they are.

And, no, I don't know what size they are. I pillage an o-ring kit at work and I keep forgetting to look at the size.

Seriously dude, stop throwing a tantrum and call Mazdaformance or Mazdatrix. They will get you what you need in 2 seconds. You do know how to use a phone right...not everything HAS-TO be done on-line.
