We talked about my '93 Metro.
The fellow with the Metro was telling me that it would be a good idea
to remove the one Throttle Body Injector assembly and take it to a
specific shop in town that opens it up and rebuilds it. Services it.
Some old guy in a wheelchair takes it apart and makes it like new.
Sounds like a good idea to me as mine is at 158,000 miles now and
I am confident has never been even looked at.
But - I am reluctant to just whip out a $250 part of my
beloved auto and slap it back in.
Thus, I ask - is it difficult and if not, what should I do?
Schucks sells a TBI "Tune Up Kit" for $36 (part # 10939).
The guy at the muffler shop said the Injector has a screen in it so
fine that water won't pass thru it. Now being a chemist, a red flag
went up. A smidgen of alcohol would unblock that by dissolving
(being miscible with) the water and sending it on thru.....
But.....fixing the orofice to make it have a good SPRAY
pattern would be a good thing to do.

Hi,
Nope. I believe you will need TORX drivers to complete the task. I take it you removed the air cleaner and found a non-conical spray pattern? Drips? Take the cover off the injector and carefully en prise the injector from the bore with your fingers.
