So im wiring up my wolf3d and im to the part of wiring the injectors. Does it mater which pin on the injector I give the 12V power? Or will it work both ways?

It doesn't matter.
They can be connected either way.

Ted, are you 100% sure? Seems to me that it would matter... many injectors have a "+" symbol on one pin... I am not sure myself, that's why I'm asking.

Most fuel injectors are a basic inductive coil solenoid design.
They are really non-polarized, if I remembers my basic EE classes.

North or South pole magnetic forces are equal. It would only matter if the pintel
was magnatized.

so if I solder on a new injector clips it does not matter if I do not remember which wire originally went to which pin? because I had a busted plug so I snipped it and now I do not remember which wire went to which pin

That is correct.
It doesn't matter which + or - goes to what side.

Yea injectors are really just switches, polarity shouldn't matter. Motors on the other hand....
