How much to change fuel injectors?

Hello, could someone please give me a ball-park estimate on how much I can expect to pay to change out all fuel injectors on a 1995 GMC Jimmy V6? A hard quote isn't necessary, but I have an opportunity to purchase this vehicle for $1000 and I know all that it needs is new injectors. Worth it?How much to change fuel injectors?
well, the labor won't be too much...it shouldn't take more than an hour, 2 hours to do this (at an average shop rate of $70/hr). the injectors themselves are expensive. go to autozone.com and the like, that will give you an idea how much the parts are.



ALSO: make sure it's ONLY the injectors that are bad. fuel injection systems are great when they are working, but they are touchy. Why did the injectors go bad? is the fuel good, is it old, have water in it? is the fuel pump pumping? there's at least 10 things in a fuel injection system that can go wrong and give headaches.How much to change fuel injectors?
I think you will be looking at an bill for at least $100 for each fuel injector and at least a 4 hour book time for the mechanic to change them. So if your garage is charging $75 an hour then your bill should come to close to $1000 including taxes.
