Hi everyone. The car is a 87 TII which is mostly stock besides an intake and boost gauge. it hits between 9 and 10 psi. When I first bought the car i was getting 10-12 mpg in it. I changed the spark plugs, the spark plug wires, ran a few fuel system cleaners through it and changed the 02 sensor. Now Im getting around 16 mpg. I am changing the fuel filter this weekend but should I have the injectors cleaned/rebuilt? And if so how much wiould mazda charge for that or is there another place I can go? unfortunately I cant mail them out cause this is the only car right now I can drive. Luckly I got it for a steal at 1000 bucks. The car has 106k on it and the problem I have been having is about every 4-5 days(I daily drive it everyday) when I go out to start it after driving around it wont start. It seems to get flooded. I have to push it and drop the clutch to start it and then it runs fine just like always and will only happen every once a week or so. I just bought this car about 2 months ago and I noticed it was running really rich at first but that has seemed to have gotten better with new plugs, wires, battery(optima red top) 02 and fuel system cleaner. I always run 91 or 93 octane and Im hoping to soon get into the 20 mpg range. With gas the way it is. Sorry about the long post

 

What's with the fuel injector cleaning questions lately???

Check your local yellow pages for diesel shops - most of them offer fuel injector cleaning services.
Check also with some of the local car parts shops - some of them offer this service too.

I think all the qs are because a couple people asked them and that got everyone else thinking...hmmm I only get 12 mpg too....lol Anyways though will they rebuild them as well?? And is there a way to know if they need rebuilt or if they just need cleaned??

 

See my reply in the other thread...
