I just bought these for 34 bucks Ford Motorsport 19lb/hr...cleaned and tested :0. My landy is already butta smooth at idle, upgrading to these 4 hole injectors will be nice...atomizing the fuel even better..maybe gain a couple of mpg.

Now just FYI, my when I had my 4.6, i do remember the injectors making a more clicking sound than others

not to get off subject, but the ps pump sound in the vid you said was after you filled it with ps fluid, you are aware d1s use atf in the ps pump. didn't know if you just mispoke or was unaware.

Good price, but are they the correct injector? I'm seeing C302 injectors, or part FMS-M-9593-C302 being used... these say they are 0 280 155 700?

As to the power steering...

When the guys at the shop finished with the mufflers, he noticed a leaky PS line... tighten it up and topped it off with PS fluid... I'm calling them tomorrow to see if they are going to cover the repair...

Interesting, cheap enough to give a shot I guess. The listing says they are used injectors. I wonder what testing has been done to them to insure they are good. I bought one of the sets also. For 30 bucks can't really go wrong. If they don't work out I can always resell them. Doesn't look like they come with the o rings etc... I'm asking the seller just to make sure I have everything I need to install them.

Did you ask? The listing only says they have been tested and cleaned. nothing about the o rings.

yup, seller said it comes with the o rings. Used, but should be fine to reuse.

The ones I got are gen3 injectors..the best atomization injector design...both are direct fit..except mine does not use the retaining clip, but that is easily solved by adding a second o ring on the top-bottom notch of the injector

This got me thinking...since our injectors are junk and its literally just sprays in a straight line with little atomization, this might be why we also see lots of fuel contamination in our oils and massive carbon build ups...hmmm...hmmmm.
