Get your injectors cleaned!

If you're planning on doing a hose job, plan on doing the fuel system while you're in there (fuel pulsation damper, recall kit, etc).

Look at how dirty mine were



I think these injectors had about 95k miles on them.

My injectors were cleaned and balanced when the motor was rebuilt, but I don't have any before and after numbers on hand. Just a quick question -- did you regularly (at least once every 6k miles) use fuel injector cleaner?

It cost $114 to do all 4.

WaLieN: I just got this car about a month ago, so I really have no idea if injector cleaner was used in the past. Doesn't look like it!

I just picked mine up. Two were closed, one dripping and one good.

That's a reminder for me to run a can of BG44K injector cleaner thru my engine. I do it once a year, about every 4000 miles.

Remember to check your injectors before you put them in.
I had mine sitting for about a month. Didn't think of re-checking them before I put them in. And #1 primary was completely stuck closed. I think I messed up my engine starting the car.
So hook up some 12v and make sure they're firing.
I also use injector cleaners regularly for the 5 years I had the car. but the # were still not very good. So getting them clean seems to be the only way to go.

Would dirty injectors cause a car to not go over 5k rpms? Sorry if i'm stealing the thread you can PM me with an answer or something.

Is that stuff safe for the engine and where can you buy it. Who makes it.
