fuel injector issues again

looking for some advice on a solid replacement so I don't have replace these on a continous basis. So in doing some research I can across this on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/201169698840?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
The important info is half way down the page:

BUYER BEWARE:
The 1995-1998 3.4L 5VZFE engine is known for having fuel injector related issues. The factory injector coil winding tends to short out which causes misfires and it eventually fails. That is the stumble and or hesitation you feel. This is a well known issue within the Tacoma 3.4L 5VZFE community. This is why WE DO NOT RECOMMEND the use of the beige/grey top factory (23250-62030) injector as a replacement.


Anyone else found this to be true?

Why have you had to replace your injectors on a "continual basis"? How many miles does your truck have?

I'm over 312,000 miles on the original injectors. The only things I've done to the fuel system is replace the fuel filter twice and occasionally drop a bottle of Techron in the tank.

Are you getting water contamination? Or is the filter allowing grit through?

We're at 267K miles on one 4Runner, 196K on the other, both with original injectors, neither has ever skipped a beat.

First injector went out at 138k and then the second one went at 140k. To be clear I didn't replace the first one a shop did and now here I am again with the same problem. Also different cylinders. First one P0302 second one P303.

I'm more interested in getting some info from forum members to see if they have used the injectors in my original post.

Okay. Received the injectors from Osidetiger (injectors in my original post) took them down to the shop and had them installed. In a word they're performing "perfect" much smoother acceleration. One caveat is to make sure you disconnect the battery after the install so you reset your fuel map.

Final note: Injectors came vacuum sealed so they couldn't get any contaminates in them, shipping was also very quick via USPS 2nd day.
