Cleaning Fuel Injectors
I think my injectors maybe clogged. Does anyone have any technique or tricks to clean them. I will be removing them off the car to attempt to clean them. Using fuel additives didn't help.
If you have some stock fuel return hose, a AA battery, and an air compressor you can clean them. Take the injectors out, slide the fuel return hose over the top of the injector. Find fuel injector plug off a harness at the junkyard, hook up the AA battery to the wires to hold the injector open. Set the air compressor at 45PSI. Fill the fuel hose with carb cleaner and use an air blower to blow the fluid through the injector at stock pressure. Works great, can be somewhat messy.

wow.........excelent technique...........sounds pretty good......
but will a 1.5V AA battery be enough to hold the injector open?

yes that is stock voltage, I originally found the technique on a DSM website. I cleaned it by that method and then sent my injectors to crusin performance, they tested all within .5% of each other before they cleaned them so I'm guessing it works pretty good.
If you want to send them out Cruizn Performance does an excellent job, replaces all seals, and does it at a very low cost.
