2001 GMC Jimmy Fuel Injectors?

So my mom has had her car ever since 2002, taking it into the city even going out of state. Shes never had any problems with it until last year when her fuel pump went out. Well she got it replaced and after that her car has just gone horribly wrong.



Her car has been sitting in a shop for about 3 months and just now being able to find out whats wrong she found out she needed a manifold intake gasket. She got that repaired but codes were still coming up on the car. Well they ran the codes today and found out that she needs new fuel injectors and filters. I was wondering what the average cost and labor on these parts are because the mechanic said it will be around 1000 dollars but her not knowing anything about cars and all of a sudden having these problems she just wants to make sure there not trying to take advantage or anything.



Also, normally when you get a new fuel pump are they supposed to change the injectors also. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Shes planning on talking to other mechanics around here but just wanting to get some pre-info if possible. Thanks!!!!

some thing does not sound right. if you could give us (me ) the codes we ( i ) could translate them. if the truck has been sitting for that long. and they still have not found an actual problem. i would shop around fora different shop withe better training.

whether it be the snap-on modus or the cornwell brick, there isnt a code reader around that will pinpoint exactly what is wrong with her car. 1-what kind of motor does it have and it is a vortec? if so,she could have a leaky spider injector which will and can lead into BIG bucks to repair.She also can have nothing merely than a plugged fuel filter and needs replaced.When she got the new pump installed,did she have them put in new plugs and plug wires? that can very well be the reason their %26quot;reader%26quot; is showing misfire codes on certain cylinders.have them replace spark plugs and wires with OEM,original equipment from manufactorer, and replace fuel filter.That should fix her problem.If not than it may be more expensive then her to worry about and just purchase another after selling that one.As far as changing injectors while replacing a fuel pump,NO they do not change unless specified she wanted them changed out.But do not do that at this time,you may not need them.
