Title: EV6 Injectors
Post by: mtgmike on February 16, 2011, 10:48:19 AM
I bought a set of Exploder injectors on Ebay, and have had them laying around for awhile. Finally cleaned them up, put a few pintle caps on, all new orings, etc. Throw them on during assembly, and just so happened to run across an article telling me I have 17# Mountaineer injectors, not 19# Explorer.

W T F.

Im assuming it would be a bad idea to try to run them. Am I the first to make this mistake???

You mean V6 Mountaineer injectors? 5.0 Mountaineers have the same injectors as 5.0 Explorers....

Nope, they came on a few 2000 5.0's. Check rockauto. 2000 calls for the white/cream color body, all others are orange. I havent found any info on why they made that temporary change.

These are at least the explorer 4 hole pintle cap design, and with fresh caps and o rings.

I've been looking for a set of slightly larger injectors for the engine in the Scorpio (2.9 V6), and was thinking about some of the EV6's (seeing as I'm building a new harness anyway for the MegaSquirt).  Someone had some 24's for sale, but judging by the pic, they may actually be 19# ones...

Chuck, I have the injectors here from the '98 Explorer engine if you want 'em. $20.00 shipped.

If you need 24s 4.6 DOHC Mark VIIIs and Continentals are a good source of EV1 24lb injectors. IIRC 99+ Continentals have EV6 style 24lb injectors.
