2000 TJ 4.0L fuel injectors

That is, how > long will a set of injectors last? A set of injectors will last as long as the engine if you maintain the filter and use good fuel. Pressure drop in the fuel rail is one of three things. - fuel pressure regulator - fuel pump backflow valve - fuel injectors And injectors are bloody expensive. A system called MotorVac can be used to clean the whole thing from intake to cat. about $100. First thing to get is a fuel rail pressure gauge. The good ones have a little hose for dumping fuel. Measure the rail then measure how fast it drains. Failed check valve in the pump will drop pressure very quick, failed regulator will give you a low 20-30psi reading rather than the stock 32 (double check with the dealer to make sure 32 is standard it was in 93) and your pressure gauge will also drop quickly. A leaky injector will drop pressure very slowly. If you want to, you can remove the rail, leave the injectors attached. Let the pump run and the rail pressurise, then look for drips. If you do remove/clean/replace the injectors, use new O rings and lube them with a bit of motor oil so they slide in easily and don't tear.
