Default Chicagoland injector cleaning or buy new??

My injectors are clogged. I got to bang a wrench on them when the car starts acting up to make them run ok. Do you know any place in the IL area that I can have this done with minimum down time?

Or buy new? But $400 from Acura is steep. Anyone have used type r injectors for sale?

Thanks,

I was about to sell you mine, but I forgot I have to get through emissions next year with these injectors.

Are you pretty sure they're just dirty? I've never heard of banging on them with a wrench Are they stuck open or closed? Any chance its just a wiring issue?

Have you tried injector cleaner solvents?

Such as STP

Bah, throw a couple gallons of Xylene in the tank. That'll work better (and cheaper)

send them to RC Engineering or try some Redline/Chevron injector cleaner first to see if it helps
