Well, depends on if you are doing the work or a shop? You can replace it for around $50 for the injector give or take $20-$50 depending on where you purchase it. Can't be that involved, just release the pressure in the fuel rail at the schrader valve port, remove the fuel rail fasteners and fuel rail should be able to be raised to remove and replace the injector. Youtube has videos on how to do it.
A repair shop will of course will cost more for labor, parts marked up, shop supplies, tax....$200 or more depending on who does the work....dealership= $120/hour labor.......independent shop=$80/hour & up. Hope this helps, please ask more if needed, thanks, Mike

Cost to replace fuel injector no. 3 cylinder. 4 liter 6 cylinder

I really, really doubt that all three injectors failed, but if they did you are looking at least $400.00 USD to replace them.

I have a 2000 Chevy Blazer 4.3 4 wheel drive. It stalled and would not start again. The garage said the fuel pump and fuel regulator first , hen they replaced that they now say its the spider assembly on...

No.
The spider is one injector that supplies six small lines going to the cylinders instead of having one injector for each cylinder.
I would ask for a partial refund for parts and/or labor on the fuel pump job if that did not fix the problem. They should apply some or most of that cost to the cost of replacing the injector assembly if they diagnosed the problem as being the pump first.

THE 91 NISSAN STANZA idlesreal good but when you press the gas it goes fast then slow then fast and slow again will not run smooth

could be clogged fuel injectors, fuel pump, fuel filter first what I would do is clean fuel injectors and replace fuel filter, if there is no codes, meaning your check engine light is not on, some times bad gas can do this or water in gas, better to try the easy things first, plus they real dont cost.much, now I use Lucas fuel injector cleaner myself, I have always got good response from it, plus if need to, you can put a tube in every day, thats if you use about 10 gallons of gas everyday so.try this first, cost for Lucas is around $6 also change fuel filter, cost any where from $7 to $25

Whats the cost on fixing a clogged number three fuel injector on a 97 eclipse?

Hi,
I think if that injector nozzle is blocked, you have to replace that injector nozzle.Most cars today uses electromagnetic type of nozzle.
Your mechanic could replace that nozzle.

Using to much fuel and running rough

How about the spider injector that might be the reason your vehicle is running rough and using up tp much fuel. The fuel regulator is part of the spider injector and it costs about $40. or $ 50. but if the injectors are bad then you will have to replace the spider injector, which will cost you $200. or less. From my own experience dont jujust change the fuel regulator and then have to buy the spider injector. It is best to make sure that it is not the injectors also. The fuel regulator is know to go bad on 95 GMC Jimmy believe me I have had to replace many other parts because of the spider injector.

Good luck

Replace fuel injector

The procedure to replace the fuel injector in Buick Lesabre Is as follows:-- 1) you will require a ordinary flat screwdriver, a needle nose pliers, a 10 mm socket, 6" extension and 1/4" ratchet. 2) First of all take the engine cover out then pinch the fuel rail connecting fittings at the base and lift off the two hoses. Note:-- Do this when your engine is cold. 3) Then bleed off the pressure in the fuel rail first. Take care you don't damage the fuel rail while bleeding the fuel pressure because a new one will cost over $ 200. 4) Loosen and remove the four nuts holding down the fuel rail. Disconnect all six electrical connectors to each injector. 5) Carefully lift up the fuel rail. Pry off the clip holding the top of the injector to the fuel rail. Pull the injector out of the fuel rail and then out of the intake manifold. 6) Install the new injectors and replace top and bottom o-rings. Reassemble and check for any fuel leaks. Thanks.

Contaminated fuel tank

How could the pump failure contaminate the injectors when the fuel filter will catch all debris. Sounds like someone is trying to take you for a ride! Shop around for a honest repair shop,there out there! Have the fuel pump and fuel filter changed and you should be fine.I hate when shops try taking advantage of customers.
Good Luck hope things work out.

Just had to replace the fuel injector spider at 82,000 mi. because 1 of 6 injectors failed. this was a part that cost more than $400.00 plus installation. insane engineering that cost me , the consumer ,...

YOU HAVE CPI ( CENTRIAL PORT INJECTION ) TO CHANGE YOU NEED TO REMOVE UPPER INTAKE AND A LOT OF PARTS TO GET AT INJECTOR, NOT AN EASY REPAIR. INJECTOR SPINS IN HOUSING TO FEED ALL POPET VALVES (SPIDER LEGS) TO BRING FUEL TO CYLINDERS. USE LUCAS FUEL TREATMENT TO CLEAN AND LUB SYSTEM INCLUDING FUEL PUMP TO INCREASE LIFE OF SYSTEM.

Can bad fuel injector damage spark plugs on a 2005 Ford Expedition? and if fuel injectors being replaced should less labor be needed for spark plug replacement?

A bad fuel injector can cause spark plug issues. If the injector does not supply enough fuel, the cylinder(s) without enough fuel will run hot, often damaging the spark plugs.

But your mechanic needs to make sure that the injector is the issue and not a fuel pressure issue from regulator, filter, or pump. Hopefully he/she has already done those checks.

As far as the labor cost being less the spark plugs wouldn't be removed during the fuel injector replacement. Even if they did, most mechanics won't cut the price. But if you are a regular customer it can't hurt to ask.
