Replacing all four fuel injectors on a Honda CR‑V typically costs about $800 to $1,800, depending on engine type, parts choice, and labor rates. Replacing a single injector generally falls in the $300 to $700 range.
CR‑V models use different engines across generations, including the 1.5-liter turbocharged direct‑injection setup in newer models and older 2.4-liter variants. Direct‑injection systems tend to be more labor‑intensive to service, which can push up both parts and labor costs. Prices vary by whether you choose OEM (factory) parts or aftermarket equivalents, by whether you use a dealership or an independent shop, and by your geographic region. Additional costs such as gaskets, seals, intake cleaning, and potential ECU reprogramming or code clearing may also affect the final total.
Cost overview
What affects the price
Several factors determine the final bill for injector replacement, including the number of injectors being replaced, engine configuration, part quality (OEM vs aftermarket), shop labor rates, and any extra services performed alongside the replacement.
Below is a practical breakdown to help you understand where the money goes.
- Parts: injectors (four for a full replacement or one for a single‑injector job) plus seals/gaskets
- Labor: time spent removing peripherals, accessing the fuel rail, replacing injectors, and testing the system
- Auxiliary costs: intake manifold work, throttle body cleaning, fuel-line work, and any software/ECU reprogramming or code clearing
- Shop charges: diagnostic fees, shop supplies, disposal fees, and taxes
In practice, many shops quote a bundled price that includes parts, labor, and commonly required extras. The final total will depend on the factors listed above and regional price differences.
Replacing all four injectors at once
When all four injectors are replaced, here is a typical range you might expect in most markets, noting that direct‑injection engines often push costs higher due to complexity.
- Parts: four injectors plus seals/gaskets — roughly $240 to $640 (assuming about $60–$160 per injector)
- Labor: 3 to 6 hours of work, at roughly $100 to $150 per hour — about $300 to $900
- Additional costs: gaskets, seals, potential throttle body or intake cleaning, and misc. shop fees — $50 to $180
Conservatively, the total typically falls in the range of about $600 to $1,800, with dealer or high‑cost regions sometimes pushing toward the upper end or higher if extra work is required.
Replacing a single injector or a subset
Replacing only the failing injector (or a subset) is usually cheaper, but costs can vary if the shop charges a minimum diagnostic fee or if additional intake work is needed to access the injector.
- Parts: one injector plus seals/gaskets — roughly $60 to $160
- Labor: 1 to 2 hours of labor, typically $100 to $300
- Additional costs: potential throttle body or intake cleaning, and misc. shop fees — $50 to $100
Overall, a single‑injector replacement is commonly in the ballpark of about $300 to $700, depending on the specifics of the job and local labor rates.
What to expect in your area
Prices vary by region, shop type (dealership vs independent), and the exact CR‑V model year and engine. In urban or high‑cost regions, labor rates tend to be higher, and direct‑injection engines can require more extensive labor. Always request a written estimate that itemizes parts, labor, and any ancillary charges, and consider obtaining quotes from both a dealership service department and a trusted independent shop for comparison.
Summary
For a Honda CR‑V, replacing all four fuel injectors is typically in the $800–$1,800 range, with all‑in costs potentially higher in premium markets or when extra services are needed. Replacing a single injector is usually in the $300–$700 range. The exact price depends on engine type (including whether it’s a direct‑injection setup), parts choice (OEM vs aftermarket), labor rates, and any ancillary work required. Getting multiple quotes and confirming what’s included in the estimate will help you avoid surprises.
