Reatta Fuel Injectors are 30 years old-Should they be replaced?

IMHO not unless you suspect some sort of performance problem. An alternative is to send them out to be serviced and flow tested. Again, just my opinion, but the stock injectors, Bosch 901's, are pretty good. They have the  multi hole discharge plate, much like the more modern Bosch type 3. The slim bodied type 3 is supposed to have a faster response time due to lighter components. If you watch an injector test video you may notice they dribble just as they open and close and don't have the desired pattern until the pintle is retracted. Faster acting components should help with this.  Most who have switched report a smoother idle and low speed but of course that could just because what was replaced had issues

I rebuilt mine with a kit I found on Ebay.  There are a couple of You Tube videos on how to do this.  It was fairly easy and helped with my 88's mpg and acceleration.  117,000 on the clock.  The filter screens on the old injectors were quite dirty.

It is primarily about making all six injectors behave the same. I had mine cleaned and balanced by DR Injector and it now runs VERY smooth. Pricey but a worthwhile investment.

As a Christmas present I asked for and recieved a set of 6 each Bosch 3 injectors for the Red. Looking forward to spring!
