Default F23a5 new fuel injectors

Hi Everyone

I have a 99 Honda accord EX with the f23a5 engine.
Right now it is time to change the fuel injectors. I don´t which brand you guys recommend me to buy?
I heard that delphi injectors are a good choice to replace the original ones.
Any suggestion?

Thanks for your help.

Why do you think you need to replace them? It's a bit unusual, so let's figure out if your problem is something else.

Well the first symptom the car had was a poor mpg! It was consuming a lot of gasoline. Is still now! Like 17.5 mpg in the city. So I took it to the dealership, there they scanned the engine and found out that the injectors were injecting too much gasoline. So they clean them up and told me “you have to change the injectors”. Well as you know, all the dealerships try to replace parts instead of repairing them so I took my car to the bosch car service, there they cleaned the injectors (ultrasonic) again and change the inside micro filters and o-rings and they told me something about that the calibration was in the limit so they also insisted to change asap my injector.
My car is about 95480 miles.

Seems strange; more likely that something else (the collection of sensors on the engine) is commanding the injectors to fire that way.

Got any modifications? Ever install one of those bogus "performance chips" that fool your ECU's temperature measurement?

Otherwise, stock injectors are probably better for a stock engine. The ECU is set up for them. Especially if you're worried about them injecting "too much".

Thank you for you interest Jim.
My engine is completely stock.
The problem was bad gasoline! Now the car runs like a champ and the average MPG in the city is between 20-21.
Thanks again.

I also changed the old spark plugs for a new set of NGK Laser Iridium, a new denso oxygen sensor, the ECT sensor and the old green coolant for a new honda blue coolant.

That's all good maintenance stuff - hope your car last a long time.
