[T3] Chasing Engine Gremlins

[Dave Hall]

Are we talking about the colour of the injector top where the harness plugs
into it?  That's the only way anyone could spot a difference in an injector
without pulling it out.   Green is for the L-jet isn't it?  That's a very
different system.   The colour of the little cap (tip?) that protects the
needle is obviously irrelevant - it's not even a fashion statement!

you guys are all missing the fact that the tips at this point are
meaningless. All the reman units I've seen (from 5-0 motor sport as well as
autohauz az) come with green or baby blue tips, since supposedly thats all
they have available. Dont assume because the tips are the "wrong" color that
the injector itself is wrong. Look at the part number on the side.
my cleaned ones from Witchunter came back with brand new black tips, so I
have assume the reman outfitters are lazy and just buy one color in bulk and
run with it.
