Can the fuel injectors be serviced or inspected? Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Oct 25, 2008, 12:03 PM Post #2 of 5 (1606 views) Re: fuel injectors Sign In Yes - but it begs the question as to why. Do you suspect there's trouble with them? T Guest Anonymous Poster Oct 25, 2008, 4:38 PM Post #3 of 5 (1601 views) Re: fuel injectors Sign In No but after such exasperating labor getting the manifold off (which still hasent been accomplished) I just thought there might be some restoritive alixer that I could do to them now that they are in my hand. Soak in a fluid? Blow air through? Check continuity of the two electrical tabs?

Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Oct 25, 2008, 5:53 PM Post #5 of 5 (1597 views) Re: fuel injectors Sign In Here's a plug for the injector care product I use preventatively with 100% success so far in several family vehicles now as I'm retired from this crazy biz but family persists There's several older cars in my stable along with a zillion yard machines which all demonstrate fuel problems with any age on the fuel and this stuff clearly has helped. It's been mentioned here that high doses (not recommended by me for any routine) of this can solve an issue. It clearly has made a difference in a couple "poke around town" low mile older vehicles and that style all the time can be a problem. Once or twice with just a flickering Check Engine Light for an O2 sensor found on code reader as weak it corrected for years! Now I'm a believer in this by brand. Also know that with price of fuel (the real stuff) there's a lot of incentive to max out on non fossile fuel mixes and I swear those cause problems for vehicles really meant for ordinary gasoline. Perhaps just luck (knock on wood) but almost all injectors have held out for the life of the cars - - - - some with well over 200k! I think the last injector (single) I bought cost about $100 bucks (wholesale) so it's worth a little prevention in my book! Good luck with yours, T Ps: If one goes bad and engine isn't running properly they can be cleaned but do this quick as allowing an engine to run poorly realy strains and can kill O2 sensors and cat converters!   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
