They need to be "professionally" cleaned to be done right.

The "cheap" way to do it is to click them open and close with a 9V battery and shoot come kinda cleaner down the tops.

BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN DOING THIS as flammable fluid and sparks (and it will spark!) will cause FIRE!

I soaked my injectors in simple green (as per a friend's advice) and then I ran lean at 6K in 4th gear and popped my engine. After buying a new fuel pump, rewiring it, and getting a fuel pressure gauge to monitor the pressure. The part I was cheap on was the part that blew my engine.. (cleaning the injectors).

They were dirty.

Oh man, that's scary.
Simple Green was just dumped by like the Air Force for causing errosion in their aluminum panels on their planes.
I wouldn't want to stick that stuff near a precisely toleranced component like a fuel injector!&nbsp On top of that, it's water based!
