has anyone ever had there car get a fuel injection cleaning from jiffy lube? if so did it work?

 

I don't see why it wouldn't work. Basically they hook your fuel line up to a can of fuel injector cleaner and run the car off that can till it runs out and the car stalls out. Then they hook the fuel line back up and you are good to go. It is basically just running the car off straight fuel injector cleaner so it is real concentrated and works better than a bottle in the tank.

 

Actually they disconnect your brake booster line and feed it thru there. Your car cannot run on that stuff alone. That stuff is basiclly concentrated rubbing alcoho.l

 

How much is to have that done?

That is actually removing the "crap" deposits on your valves, passages, intake manifold, etc. The fuel injectors are not apart of the manifold vacuum. I would say they run the "mystery fluid" through your injectors.... OR you could buy a can of Seafoam and do it yourself. Don't ask me how to use it, just read the directions on the bottle. It is a great product line. I use it at work all the time. I believe most injector cleaner products work. Just take your car on a couple full throttle romps while the cleaner is in your tank. Blah blah blah...

 

The only injector cleaner on the market that works is Chevron's Techron (or any product containing this chemical). All that other **** is just additional **** in your gas tank. That's also why you should only be using Chevron or even Shell/Texaco fuel in your car.

 

I have seen ones where it is a mix and you run the car directly off the can. I think I saw it on one of those car shows like Two Guys Garage on SPEED. I figured that is the way Jiffy Lube does it.

Bzzzt, Seafoam.

It's better than Chevron in my experience and it's more flexible. You can put it in your oil, gas or inject it right into you throttle body. Works wonders and for really high mileage engines it really is 'magic in a can'.

I use it on my bike, car and my GF's car (185k mile Mazda 626 - runs like a top).

Cheers,
Roy
