injector cleaning service??

Has anyone taken their car in to get the injectors cleaned? As in better than just some additives will do. How much do shops charge and is it worth it. I know clogged injectors can cause big power loss. To remove this ad, register today for free or log in if already registered!

Yeah I got my injectors cleaned by the dealer back in 2001. I had about 1200 on the odometer. Can you guess what happened? The spark plugs were fouled, fuel tank drained, fuel lines flushed, injectors cleaned. The ex wife did it, It was her car before the divorce.

never put injector cleaner in your tank.
Either do a top engine flush or an injector clean. Although if you have an air compressor and a blow gun handy its alot cheaper to do it yourself.

Use FP60 and you'll be fine. Normally I'd agree with NightHawk....most cleaners will do more harm than good. Research our products and you'll see they work.

Many customers over at BITOG.

okay I'm switching to yours. Would those other cleaners do permanent damage, and will your cleaner fix any problems like carbon chunks or something?

There are cleaners that are very harsh and can do damage to an engine. FP60 will dissolve carbon and varnish and not just break it up into chunks. Many cleaners do this, that is why they say to change your oil after using them. No need to change oil after using FP60 as it dissolves the carbon and turns it into a lubricious form and takes it through combustion.

Verify all we say through used oil analysis and professional interpretation by Dyson Analysis.

Yeah she did. I was to drunk to fuel up and I had take a MAJOR piss. So I just slid the credit card and went to the bathroom. She drove the car to McDonalds for some grub for the kids we got on the onramp of the freeway and the car died. I was pissed and cursing Honda. I traded my pos Ford Taurus SHO for this crap. Then it hit me oh snap. I opened the fuel cap and smelled diesel. I was one angry mexican. $500 bucks later the car was ok.

http://www.cruzinperformance.com/fuelinj.html Alot of people on the www.3si.org (stealth/3000gt) forums, including myself, have used this company for injector cleaning/flow testing.. It's only $12 an injector for a complete flow test and cleaning. I believe the other companys were at least twice as much an injector
