I wouldn't use them if I were you. I had the same problem with an injector of mine and just got another injector. Don't risk it. THe injectors are delicate and he crack could affect how much gas is released and it's seal, etc.

if your talking about the part that sticks in the manifold,YES,you can use them if you have to,that is just a plastic cap thats there to protect the pinticle,they will work just fine,just be careful that the pieces are not brittle cause they could fall off into the motor.
