around 2 hours, you have to pull the top of the intake off to repalce them

6 Hours labour but mechanics usually dont take that long.They can blow the injector clean of debris.But if it has to be replaced,its 6 hrs.
What symptoms have you been having that leads you to think that it is a fuel injector? I know some of the main symptoms are



(1 Hard Starting

(2 Poor fuel economy

(3 Rough Idle

(4 Car runs fine when cold and terrible when warm

(5 Car will start just fine when cold and not when warm

(6 Getting a fuel smell inside the car

(7 Loss of power in acceleration

(8 Fuel leaking from injector seals or injector



I have heard that fuel injectors are JUST as easy to replace as spark plugs, and in some cases you can clean them for a temp fix, but it is a catch 22 because Faulty fuel injectors if not replaced can also cause damage to other fuel system parts such as fuel filters, fuel pumps, check valves, fuel regulators, and fuel distributors. This could cause hundreds of dollars in additional repairs.



The way I understand it, it is about a 15 minute to 30 job if you ONLY damage is the fuel injector and nothing else has come wrong. Safely, I would say an hour.
