Hey everyone, what's the best and most effective way to clean fuel injectors without having to take them out or replace them? I just don't have the money to buy a new set or the time to pull them all out and have them cleaned individually. I've already tried putting injector cleaner into my gas tank but I need something stronger than that. I was thinking along the lines of force-feeding injector cleaner into the fuel rail and directly through the fuel injectors at a concentrated rate, but I don't know of any shops that can do it. Any input or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Is your car having trouble and you think it's a dirty injector problem or something?
If so, what are the car's sypmtoms?

The Chevron injector cleaner has always worked good for me. Instead of putting it into a full tank, i put it in at about 1/4 to 1/8 of a tank, to concentrate it more. I repeat for 3 or 4 tanks, and has worked good for me. Alot of shops offer injector cleaning services though. Are you sure its your injectors, what are the symptoms of your car.

Sears Auto Center has a fuel system cleaner service. It's not a "pour in and your done" treatment. It's run through the oil system, fuel system, and then "injected" through your intake tract while the car is running. It's about a 45 minute process while the car is running. Does clean them up pretty well and most deposits on the intake tract. [ January 27, 2006, 12:14 PM: Message edited by: xchpstang ]
