How often do I need to get my FI cleaned? I have a 99 accord LX. Thanks.

I clean my fuel injectors at least once a month. I use Lucas Oil, which can be bought at any auto store (ie. Pep Boys, Autozone, VIP, etc.). Lucas Oil just goes into your gas tank before or after filling your tank and it cleans your fuel injectors and combustion chamber.

 

So no need to get it done professionally? I've never had it done and my car has 190,000 miles on it.

 

Just try the Lucas Oil stuff first. Get a small bottle (about $3.99) and put it in a full tank of gas and see how your car runs and what not. I actually just used a bottle of Lucas Oil yesterday, I've noticed a big difference.

But, it's really up to you if you want to get it professionally done. I'd try the Lucas Oil first though.
