2 or 4 hole fuel injecters ??????

[Franky]

Im pretty sure its supposedly for better fuel atomization.

But : Should i purchase 4 hole balanced & flowed fuel Injecters ?

Or should I just stick with O.E.M brand 2 hole fuel Injecters for my 2004 3.7 liter v6

Jeep Liberty Sport 4×4 automatic
251,231 thousand miles young.

Thanks in advance people

This is an interesting topic, yet I would like to ask what is wrong with your current OEM injectors?
Are you chasing a misfire code?

Absolutely #4 injecters is not atomizing correctly.

We have had discussions in the forum regarding 2 vs 4 hole injectors.
The good news is that you could replace all 6 injectors , but since you really only need to replace #4 I would replace the single injector with a new oem 2 hole.
Overall the oem injectors work well, with good reliability.
4 hole injectors may offer better throttle response, but you are potentially risking fuel economy and future reliability.
Jeep designed the engine to work well with the 2 hole design , and it probably is the best way to go IMHO.
I would also like to mention that Chevron techron concentrate fuel cleaner additive really helps to keep injectors clean.

I totally agree with you .
I was given the vehicle with 250k on the odometer.
Its been great for a few thousand miles , now I'm throwing different
DTC error codes .
I.E. P0420 upstream 0/2 sensor
P0302 & P0204 .
Im tracking down a possible short/resistance in my fuel injection harness as it relates to the # 4 fuel injecter
Also , possible short in primary circuit
in first # 4 ignition coil .
Swapped coils & changed plugs
Ok for a while then comes back .
Obviously : P0420 upstream 0/2 sensor will be changed today .
Could also be PCM injecter drivers
& am also cleaning all negative grounds .


Any input would be appreciated !
and Thank you Sincerely for all your help !

When it comes to electrical, Bill is our specialist.
I'm sure he will chime into this thread.
Only use NTK 02 sensors, jeep will be happy then.
Also keep in mind that at 100 k or greater miles, it is a good idea to replace all 6 coil packs as a tune up item.
Mopar coil packs are best , yet I used Standard brand and so far so good.

My family owns a Jeep Dealership
and i only use o.e.m. components
& service item's.
I already purchased 6 new NTK
coil packs .
6 NGK copper V-power spark plugs
Etc.
I just not very excited about chasing down these shorts !

I will keep you posted !

Remember this Liberty has over 250,000 + miles

The under hood heat , age & conditions of the wiring , harnesses
and connecters are not in the best of conditions .
This has become an issue itself !
Thanks To Everyone
