Grab the yellow pages, and look up "injection service" or "diesel injection". Many diesel shops have gas injector cleaning rigs.

Honestly, I don't know why people insist on mailing their injectors to online shops when almost any community of 50,000 or greater will have a local shop that can do the work. For example, I bring mine to "Roy's Diesel". They charge $25 Canadian per injector. For that, I get same day service which includes cleaning, balancing, new o-rings, and a printout.

I have sent mine out to Cruzin before and it was $48 including shipping for all four and it included new caps, rings, and the intake grommets.

The turn-around was ~5 days, not too bad.

I met the guy who runs witchhunter.com and he's a SUPER cool guy who does everything very meticulously. He cleaned my 550cc TII injectors for $50. I saw him do part of the process, it's pretty cool how they flow test them. Check out his website: witchhunter.com , he's got before and after pics and shows how he cleans them.

I'm with Aaron on this one. Look up diesel service companies in the Yellow Pages and ask them if they service petrol injectors. Many do, and they will change you considerably less than "EFI specialists" for exactly the same service. I got mine done for well under half the best price I got from a EFI companies, and they threw in o-rings for free. They were busy so it took two days instead of the usual next-day service. Why anyone in a decent sized city would post injectors out of town (let alone half way across the country) is completely beyond me.

I'm a bit confused about why you would need this to begin with. Or when you shold have it done. My car is at the shop for a couple of weeks being repainted and having some body work so I can't get them now, but how will I know if the injectors need cleaning? My engine runs smoothly, why can I just go out and buy injector cleaner like STP? Also, how much are the injectors for an FC and what are the best kinds to buy? Sorry I sound like such an amateur, I really do know my car well, but I just haven't had to do anything with the injectors.

i can't belive nobody has posted up http://www.rceng.com/ yet. I've never used them myself but always hear great things. I belive they're $25/injector as well.

Well I think the best place for a lot of people that live in smaller towns where the competition maybe a bit lacking would be online places. I know a place around me (the only place) quoted a lot higher than 48 bucks that I can get at www.cruzinperformance.com however I do say shop around in your area and if you need them ASAP and are willing to spend the extra nickel for convenience, go for it.

Which is why I said "anyone in a decent sized city".
