$400 thats ridiculous. I'm taking off my dads intake to change his spark plugs and I could get straight to the fuel rails if i wanted to. Never go to that guy again. If i lived near you I'd charge like $40 tops. if you can remember where everything goes, just do it yourself and replace it.

Auto Zone has repair manuals on line. The process to remove and replace injectors will be there. Sign up, add your vehicle and you can acess the tacoma manual. Repalcing fuel injectors is pretty simple. You might have to take off the cowling worst case. Read up and see.



Should you replace or clean them?? Injectors can't be disassemble to clean. You have to replace them.



Should you do all or just one. Depends upon how much it cost and how big of a job to repair. If the injector failed because of dirt then all of them will be dirty so replace them all. But injectors could have failed because some fail. In that case you need only the one.
