Fuel injectors Grand am 03 gt
Hello im a novice and I'm trying to replace 2 bad fuel injectors in a 03 Grand am gt...are they hard to replace or do they require any special tool or attention...I don't know how they look also. So any help would be appreciated

I'm not necessarily familiar with the 03 models. Are they still under the intake plenum in that year?
Earlier 3100 motors they were under an intake which made removal a bit of a chore.

I Think they are under the intake but is getting charged 150 to replace them too much and about how much do they usually run about

yep you gotta take the upper plenum off, been through this a couple of times when I swapped an 03 3400 in my old 96 Grand Prix. 150 dollars doesnt seem like a bad deal but I'd like to mention a few things...
Dont just replace 2 injectors, do all of them. I had good luck with injectors I pulled from the junkyard, from a lower mileage car. If you already have 2 going bad might a well get a set that will all flow similar and grab the whole fuel rail, just in case you lose or break any clips in the swap process. You'll need a fuel line disconnect tool, you can get a cheap set from a parts store.
Buy new injector o-rings, just good insurance.
The intake bolts take something like 9 foot pounds of torque, the intake will crack easily.
I do not know the mileage or maintenance of your car but consider replacing the uim gasket and see if the lower is leaking.
60degreev6.com is a good place to look if you want to do this yourself
