Isnt this just ultrasonic cleaning with a mix of alcohol and water? or is there more to it? Because I have a small ultrasonic cleaner.

and when Honda says they can "clean fuel injection and induction system" what else if anyhting are they doing besides th injectors??


Thanks guys

iono about honda cleaning, but i read this procedure somewhere. get a bottle of Techron, take a can of tuna, eat the tuna, punch four holes in the bottom of the can big enough for the tip of the injector, place them in the can, put the can in the cleaner and pour techron just to cover the can. shake vigoursly for as long as needed. you can also rig up something to pulse the injectors while they soak.

Tuna prepares you for a lot of greater things in life.

So pretty much you have to you have to use a cleaner of some sort. What about new injectors? Stock? Bosch?

thanks

Don't waste your money. Honda injectors are pretty darn good and rarely need to be replaced or cleaned out of the car, unless you fill up at the worst gas station in town. You know, the one with the hole in the underground tank that lets water and mud in. If you have to, use something like Chevron's Techron in the fuel tank.

 

Thank you for all your replies, anyone else?

I have seen this done but I don't know if it applies to Hondas. You can get a can of cleaner that will actuall run the car. You disconect the fule pump (fuse) and hook a special valve to the fule pressure (something). The can connects to the fule system with special fittings for cars (you need a kit with all the fittings). The car runs off this special cleaner for about 10 minutes. Then you just unhook everything and put the fuse back in. Voala...clean injectors.

 

Word up!

 

MattG,

The system is quite expensive i believe its about 400 bucks...I believe the system can be purchased from OR?? Not exactly sure what the company name is but its a standard fuel injection cleaner.

A few of my friends who attend automotive trade school have done this to their cars since they have access to the tool at school and said it helped out considerably. Dunno if its worth 400 though

 

I actually took the injectors out and spray the carb cleaner, did I Fcxx the injectors, I've not yet put that back on.
