Mixing fuel injectors (temp)
First off please forgive me as im trying to do this on a cheap cell phone. Sorry if this is the wrong thread...or all wrong.
i have a 89 mustang gt.one of the injectors went bad and a friend has some 14# injectors.i was wondering as a temp fix if i could run the one 14# with the rest of my 19's without hurting the car.ive searched alot the past 2 days and havent found a specific answer.

wasnt sure if it would run lean.besides a new injector locally is about 80dollars...those 14# are free.i understand what your saying tho.i was just hoping the computer might compensate or something.money is tight around here.

the computer wont compensate one injector. Your cars ECM will make bank specific fueling adjustments, which means cylinders 1-4 are affected by one O2, and 5-8 by another. If one cylinder is extremely lean (like in the case of a 14# injector) the O2 wont know that its a specific cylinder issue... or might not notice it at all.
19# injectors are cheap as dirt. Look at a local JY, or even try craigslist. Most people will literally GIVE their 19#ers away, just to get rid of them.
