you can clean them out as long as they show a resistance value, know anyone(dentist), that has an ultra sonic machine.
soak them and try 12 volts to the coil,on-off as fast as possible,apply some pump pressure using kero,diesel something that wont burn easily,(no gas,petrol) with sparks from connections. you can guess why.

I thinking a different part number might work OK.
The Bosch FI system was used on many cars with slight variations. I Googled "Bosch Cold Start Injector" and got lots of hits. Here's one:
Your Parts Search Returned 1 Part(s)
I'm fairly sure that many cars used the same *style* of cold start injector....the one above looks like the type seen in the older Jags, just going from memory.
If you could find one from a car with a 3 or 4 litre engine that looks like the same style, it would probably work just fine. One from a little car with a 1.5 or 2.0 litre engine might not give a big enough squirt due to being calibrated for a smaller engine.
Anyhow, it might be worth a little research?
Cheers

Thanks for the tip! He has great prices on other stuff I need too. The price is right for a cold start injector, but unfortunately they have not been flow tested. If I can't find a new one soon, I may take a chance. -Paul

I think that one would work fine, if I could find a barb fitting for it, or a 5/16 hose with the right fitting on one end.

Dave at everydayxj.com really came through for me. His injectors weren't flow tested and I didn't want to be put further behind on this project while a clogged injector was cleaned or exchanged, so I ordered 2. He gave me a package price on 2, figured out a way to get them to me next business day for $5, and threw in an extra one with a defect that probably wont interfere with its function! And if I pay to get a couple of them referbed I will still be out less that the cost of 1 referbed injector on Ebay, and probably end up with 1 good injector in the jag and at least 1 spare. I wouldn't have dared to ask for a deal this good. I know where I will be looking first when I need more jag parts! -Paul

Need a better way...
Hi all,
I'm in the process of getting a 1983 XJ6 running so I can flip it, and have a bad cold start injector. It seems hopelessly clogged. The electrical parts are good in the injector, I hear it click, but I can't even blow though it. I've had the injector soaking in Gum Out for several days now. Will check it again but don't have much hope.
Has anyone found a suitable substitute for the injector? Preferably not over $100?
Thanks!

Y'all keep calling it a Cold Start Injector when the correct designation is CSV (cold start valve).
Try this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fuel Injection Cold Start Valve Standard CJ50 | eBay
Most 'L' Jetronic fuel injection systems used a Cold Start Valve but some of the German cars with 'K'Jetronic used one with a BANJO fitting instead of the hose connection for fuel inlet.
Datsun 280 Z used one but the nozzle points to the side (I think).

The confusion comes right from Jaguar itself, as the S57 wiring guide, parts catalog, and ROM all refer to it as "cold start injector".
Most others do use the 'valve' terminology, in my experience
