Has any one tried to fix leaky injectors?
ok i recently replaced all my radiator hoses and fuel lines on my fc and i was thinking well while i got the top part of the manifold apart should i try to clean up these injectors. so i pulled them out and the primaries where dripping bad but when i pulled out the secondaries i got nothing they where dry as can be. so i thought hey thats good because they should not spray until the engine hits a certain Rpm if im correct. So i took the injectors and soaked them in a can of sea foam hoping it would clear it up. so am i still wasting my time or should i just go buy new injectors?
i know alot of people are gonna tell me that i should get a carburetor kit but i just quit my job and im short on money.

Why would anyone tell you to waste your money on a carb kit??? The car comes with Tuned length intake runners and multiport injection.
And professional ultrasonic solvent cleaning of injectors is usually less than $50.
Just dipping injectors in solvents will not fix a clogged injector.

You can improve them by spraying carb cleaner and air through them in both directions while opening and closing them by hitting them with 12 volts. I have done this with fair success when I had to get a car back on the road after a bad tank of gas to go to work the next morning when the car was barley running.
