Default Cleaning fuel injectors

I have done a few google searchs and i'm just wondering what is the best way to clean your fuel injectors?. I'm sure mine are original and while there is no problem at the moment. I hoping to do a little preventive maintenance and improve my performance in any way possible


thanks

Send them in to get cleaned. They're about $20 a piece here. I'm not sure what it is where you're at. Also replace the gaskets.

Dont fix it if it hasnt broken yet,
unless you send them to a reputable injector service shop,
your asking for a can-o-worms

This is my way of cleaning injectors:
run chevron or other premium gas that has the additives(fuel system cleaner) already added in the gas
V-power, techron, ect.

Last year I sent out my 20 year old injectors to be sonic cleaned by a reputable company. Turns out they were nearly perfect. I think they will flow test them and let you know if they need a cleaning.

that youtube video is a very interesting way to clean injectors.... but seems a very easy way to kill an injector... ive heard good things about sonic cleaning them and good to know that if they test good to start they send them back no harm no foul
