birdman Posted February 5, 2006 Report Posted February 5, 2006 is there any good way to clean injecotrs yourself? i sprayed my 95's with a little wd-40 to keep rust away and i dont want to clean them with anything that will hurt them. i also want to clean the inside, can i soak them in anything? or just run cleaner in the gas. i have some cheveron techron, its what i alawys use and it works pretty good. thanks.

THe_DeTAiL3R Posted February 5, 2006 Report Posted February 5, 2006 When I clean my throttlebody I usually spray some of the TB cleaner into the engine while it's running, giving the throttle as needed so it woun't stall. I also put STP fuel injector cleaner in the tank once in a while. My car runs pretty good. Quote
birdman Posted February 5, 2006 Author Report Posted February 5, 2006 :oops: oops, forgot to mention that the injectors im talking about are out of the car, im going to be putting them in as soon as i get a warmer day. Quote
Crazy K Posted February 5, 2006 Report Posted February 5, 2006 I took some injectors that i was planning to install, and set them up where they could not tip over.... and dripped a few drop of injector cleaner in one end of each injector... waited 24 hours and flipped them and did the same thing. ok I did it for an hour but I was inpatient!

birdman Posted February 5, 2006 Author Report Posted February 5, 2006 i wasnt sure if stright injector cleaner would mess anything up though. hmmm. Quote
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted February 5, 2006 Report Posted February 5, 2006 I'm not sure, but I think i heard somewhere that you can use diesel to clean injectors? Maybe do a search on the net. I doubt you can hurt them with injector cleaner though. Quote
birdman Posted February 5, 2006 Author Report Posted February 5, 2006 ok, do you know if i can soak them? thanks. Quote
Crazy K Posted February 5, 2006 Report Posted February 5, 2006 well.... I was inpatient. I did like an hour a side. but I would have done them for longer if I hadn't thought of it last minute. I don;t think it would harm them... keep in mind that doing this probably has no effect on the internals of the injector, since it probably won't trickle inside them. it mosly cleans the output's nozzles... can you see actual clogs? There are usualy four tiny little holes you can see in the injectors botton... If there is a clog there you can kinda see it. Quote
birdman Posted February 6, 2006 Author Report Posted February 6, 2006 i havent looked at them in a while, i guess ill just clean them the best i can and see what happens. Quote
SUPERDUTYD Posted February 6, 2006 Report Posted February 6, 2006 i had mine out and cleaned them with air intake cleaner. i didn't want to use carb cleaner because i did once on my eagle and it removed some kind of plastic coating that was on them. i don't know if was a good idea cleaning them, but i did and they are in the car now with no problems.
