06 Civic ex! Fuel Injectors?

Does anyone know how to replace the fuel injectors and where they are in the 06-09 civic? i did the oil change and they told me that my fuel injectors need to be replace? does anyone know where they are, or any website where it explain where and how to replace them?

Thank you!06 Civic ex! Fuel Injectors?
Carlos: Do yourself a favor and call a good parts house, ask the guy who is looking up your part, how often someone buys 1 or more injectors for your Year, Make,Model and Engine.Size car?

I'm betting he'll say not very often.

Don't believe everything someone tells you.06 Civic ex! Fuel Injectors?
No. You don't need new fuel injectors. People at an oil change place wouldn't know this and unless there's a performance problem then it would be stupid to replace them on a 3 year old vehicle. Just add fuel injector cleaner and a half tank of premium gasoline from a top tier fuel company (chevron, mobil, or shell)



If you don't know where they are by looking at your engine then you shouldn't be dealing with the injectors in the first place. Fuel + lack of knowledge = hospital.



But...I'll be nice, if you want to kill yourself and possibly your neighbors, then by all means. There is usually a cover over the fuel injectors that's bolted to the block, it should be the only plastic thing in the middle of the engine (as long as you don't have a shroud covering the engine). Generally, most car companies bolt the cover with torx screws and for good reasons, they don't want you to start a fuel fire in your engine compartment.



Again...don't touch this unless you have a friend who knows how to purge fuel from the lines; do not follow an internet website to do a replacement of this type...too much can and will go wrong.
