BuzzKill Posted March 6, 2002 Report Share Posted March 6, 2002 The injector clips often get corroded/gunked up and fail to make a proper contact. The primary injector runs until around 3000 RPM (about the same time you reach 0 psi on the boost gauge) and then the secondary kicks in. If the secondary injector doesn't start spraying, the car suddenly goes into a major lean-out and falls on its face. Go out and buy some new injector clips (sometimes also called "connectors", "sockets" or "pigtails"). They're found at most parts stores for $5-10 each, usually out on the floor (don't need them to look it up). Here are some part numbers: Bosch or Motormite part #85850. "Bosch replacement FI pigtail" General FI pigtail #35730 or PS35730 Standard FI pigtail #sk25 or s-654 Be sure to solder the new ones on and don't get the wires mixed up/reversed (I suggest doing one clip at a time). You just snip the old connector off about an inch down, strip the wires, sand them clean, slide some shrink tubing on each wire, solder the new clip wires on, shrink the tubing and wrap it up in electrical tape. Use some sandpaper folded over a screw driver (or an emery board) and clean the 2 metal contact terminals on each injector (they're copper, so they should almost shine). Connect the clips to the injector then repeat with the other injector and you're done! Should take you less than 45 minutes if you're taking your time.

Boosted_One Posted March 10, 2002 Report Share Posted March 10, 2002 I would highly recommend these MSD FI connectors. I used these for my factory replacement and my additional injectors and these are some really high quality connectors...

These connectors feature a locking spring to firmly fasten the connector to the injector’s plug. The injection molded nylon body withstands temperatures ranging from –40°F to 260°F.

conquest89 Posted June 14, 2002 Report Share Posted June 14, 2002 Does it really matter if you have the wires backwards ? I am starting to wonder if this is my problem. What are symptoms of backwards wires? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fasazme Posted July 3, 2002 Report Share Posted July 3, 2002 I cut a couple off a late model 3100 chevy,they look like ones in pic. above. Fit good and tight ,works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie_Rich Posted July 3, 2002 Report Share Posted July 3, 2002 I just bought two fro mthe local Autozone. They are located out on the floor in the electrical connector area. They are listed under, I think, "bosch injecter clips". They cost me 5.99 each. When I get home from work, I can look at the packaging better if needed.

penick000 Posted September 26, 2002 Report Share Posted September 26, 2002 i like the ones made by Standard Corporation part number SK-25 . These run about 5 bucks a piece and are the quick disconnect design like the msd ones that Mike K mentioned. Just another option. pen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmss33 Posted October 5, 2002 Report Share Posted October 5, 2002 it is also a good idea to use dioelectro grease on the connections in the clips to help slow down corrosion in the future and it gets a good connection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vilification Posted November 30, 2002 Report Share Posted November 30, 2002 Here is the package that I found in my local auto store. Its a simple clamshell package usually found hanging with all the other light sockets and similar stuff. http://home.rochester.rr.com/vilification/Pictures/85850.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZPI28 Posted January 21, 2003 Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 Those are the ones I bought and installed last night. They were 5.99 each and they keep em in stock at AutoZone.. Steven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torque1st Posted January 31, 2003 Report Share Posted January 31, 2003 Ditto on the dielectric grease guys! Use Silicone Dielectric grease on ALL of your vehicle electrical connections to keep them from corroding. Whenever you have to use a crimp type connector, dip the end of the stripped wire into the dielectric grease BEFORE you put it in the connector to crimp. This will make a good connection and keep corrosion away. It is messy but the results are worth it. You can get the Silicone Dielectric grease in tiny little tubes for spark plug wires and plugs at the parts store, - or you can ask for a larger tube like I do.

Drizzt Posted April 4, 2003 Report Share Posted April 4, 2003 I called up the Autozone website and they said that they didn't even have any instock....crap..does anyone else know where I can get some, I don't have an autozone near me.

Torque1st Posted April 4, 2003 Report Share Posted April 4, 2003 You can also get them from a Chrysler dealer. Check all the parts stores near you, one or more of them will have them. They are really a common part. I have seen several around once I started looking for them. Remember the dielectric grease tho !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustPaus_88TSi Posted July 22, 2003 Report Share Posted July 22, 2003 Hey smokin, Autozone has them in stock. At least the one by me does. About 6-7 bucks a piece. The one by me is on Main and Power, just in case. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torque1st Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 I am so disapointed with the performance of the clips I am thinking about peeling back some of that plastic shroud on the injectors to expose the tabs and SOLDERING wires directly to the tabs. Then putting male and female spade lugs on the wires to maintain polarity. I can solder the spade lugs on the wires and put heat shrink on the female one to provide insulation. That should put an END to any contact problems. > 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunpackingpoet Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 Cheapest and best quality are MSD. You can buy them at www.summitracing.com part # search is MSD-2400 20.00 bucks w/shipping and you get like 16 of them. One question though, what do you use to crimp them? I used a traditional wire cutter/crimper and ruined a couple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustPaus_88TSi Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 Hmmn, those don't come with wires...but they're still cheaply priced. Do you have to crimp them? Maybe just solder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunpackingpoet Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 You're right, they don't come with wires, but I'm sure any wire will do just so long it's the same gauge. Â I actually soldered the one I currently have on (I suck at soldering), I just wanted to see what crimping tool, if any, was available specifically for this as they are extremely small pins. Â If you over crimp it and ruin it or add too much solder, they won't fit inside the actual plastic casing. Â (That's why I'm no down to two clips!) I guess you crimp them first then put a little bit of solder on it. i just want to know what you use to crimp such a small pin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustPaus_88TSi Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 http://static.summitracing.com/global/images/prod/large/msd-2400.jpg From the picture(I haven't done this), I would fold down those two little tabs to secure the wire in place, and then solder on top of the wire. You can "fill it in", so to speak... There's two little "wall" looking things along each side, i'd just fill the whole thing with solder. Ps..The wires aren't a problem ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustPaus_88TSi Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 No need for crimpers, just some needle nose pliers...All you gotta do is fold the tabs down.... John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
