Did the starting issue occur before or after replacing the fuel injectors?

 

After

 

Why were the fuel injectors replaced initially?

 

They were old and car would sputter a bit

 

At what approximate mileage were the injectors replaced? Were the old injectors tested? Were they discarded?

 

Around 138780, didn’t test old ones and yes I got rid of them.

 

All things being equal, it could very well be the fuel injectors that were installed.

 

if you can get a tech 2 and fuel gauge you can do an injector balance test 3 times on all injectors and read press drop, if that passes leave gauge on rail and see if press drops with car off, would indicate a leaking inj or fuel pump ck valve

 

Should I just get the oem injectors?

If possible, could remove and return the SKP fuel injectors. Purchase and install the AcDeclo GM genuine fuel injectors. A variety of things can cause an engine to sputter and at 138,780 miles would not have replaced the original fuel injectors based upon an undiagnosed stutter

 

would not having the oem injectors clip cause them to leak? Cause They seem pretty loose with these new ones I got.

 

That's a possibility.

 

If you are replacing injectors for maintenance, ALWAYS get OEM. I would recommend you send your stock injectors out for cleaning and flow testing and return the injectors you bought.

Buy new OEM injectors and throw away the aftermarket ones. 138k is nothing, if anything they just needed a cleaning.
