If both engines have the same coded injectors one can be changed to the other. Federal engines have AA coded injectors, While California engines have AB coded injectors. The code is on the top of the injector.

If it just broke the injector solenoid then just swap the solenoid

i dont know injectors that well, but wouldnt it still have to be the same type of injector? like if the solenoid is the part that tells it how to spray the fuel then it would be a problem..just a thought

The solenoid doesn't tell it how the spray. The pcm does. The solenoid just makes it open and close. You can use any solenoid form any 94.5-03 heui injector they are the same.
