    I hear @ChapmanF can help rebuild my fuel injectors for my gen 2 prius. Can't message directly due to how novice I am in the forums. Id like to start the process and have a loaner set while I get mine repaired. Hope to hear from you soon.

    probably not a thing . I've installed new injectors three times in these vehicles and the injector changes appeared to make no differences . So ya might wanna hold that idea. They're a place right up street from me national company that does this . Their main services are for mechanical injectors for diesel units . But they can mess with all of em . And even they say .....

    From my experience, injectors are crucial for a gen 2 to run in tip top condition. You can try using some STP fuel injector cleaner with Polyetheramine (PEA). Run a couple tanks through the engine and see if you see any improvements.

    I know my car will need service when the morning idle gets a bit rough and the car runs good when it's warm. That's always a good indicator for me when my injectors need to be cleaned.

    Some years ago, we had a thing going that involved Rich Jensen of Cruzin Performance in Michigan. I could send you the last set of injectors he restored, you could send your old ones to him, and he could restore them and send them to me.

    I still have the last set of injectors that got restored that way. They have been sitting here long enough I'd need to check and make sure they still click: he sends them with a protective oil that might have thickened by now. They are the ones used in gen 1 and gen 2. $83.60 is what it cost me to have them.

    I don't actually know if Rich is still restoring injectors regularly, or on a longer-turnaround basis, or at all anymore; I haven't checked with him in a while. There also are other shops doing the same thing. There's one in Torrance, I think.
