Q: 96 jeep grand cherokee fuel injectors

asked by on August 20, 2017

So I'm not to good with cars. I've noticed the fuel injectors in my jeep aorta have a more thick center than the ones I want to buy.the new ones are more skinny and slim than the ones ones. Is that a problem or must I buy the same old thicker ones again. Sorry if you dont understand me. The old injectors are bigger in the center than the new ones. Will the new ones not fit or seal properly or something since that are skinny. I'm so lost.
My car has an automatic transmission.
