Fisherwerke Posted July 26, 2022 Author Share Posted July 26, 2022 OK, Question. The original injectors for the red car are yellow and the ones in the yellow car are gray. Are they significantly different or can they be interchanged? I am trying to find replacements for the red car but any aftermarket that come up for 1975 Manta are gray. I am thinking the red car was retrofitted with a different injection system than it originally came with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you previously said the red car has LE injection which is later/retrofit. If you have a multimeter try measuring across the injectors while cranking/running. You should see the pulses, if not, try between the injector & ground. If it’s a constant 12v or thereabouts the wiring to the ECU or indeed the ECU itself is faulty.

Fisherwerke Posted July 26, 2022 Author Share Posted July 26, 2022 Thanks, I already confirmed the injector pulse is good. I've removed the fuel rail and tried to clean them but so far its not working well. We put cleaner in the fuel line and put a battery to the injector. We can hear them click but will not spray. I am just looking to buy a set of injectors to get the car on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trooker Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 I’d be surprised if you couldn’t get them serviced at a Bosch approved injector place. Alternatively you could try an international purchase https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/295098988355 Also, this guy is importing CIH parts to the US https://m.facebook.com/197495300885279/ or call these guys as there are people modding the A series https://www.opelgtsource.com 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cam.in.head Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 yes ,as said the early injectors are not a swap for the later ones. if i recall correctly the early ones also ran in series with a large encased resistor block that will be bolted down somewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
