cleaning out injectors

I am looking into cleaning my fuel injector since the motor has been on the stand for about a year now. I am thinking the injectors are going to be crystallized from sitting. I called around and found Napa is one of the only places around that does it and they want $25.00 an injector which is going to be over $160.00, is there a way to clean them well myself that someone may know of?

Re: cleaning out injectors

They have to be forced cleaned with solvent. To do this you need some sort of plumbing setup as well as a way to open the injector nozzle. It's called a fuel injector flush machine. They cost several thousand dollars. NAPA knows this and that's why they charge so much. It's not like you're going to buy the machine.

I found a few on Ebay for just a few hundred but thats not what I'm looking for or looking to do.

I also had a guy tell me to soak them in gas and then reinstall they and run a can of Seafoam, they would be fine?

Hey there...

I highly recommend this guy:
http://www.cruzinperformance.com/fuelinj.html
I had a set of my injectors cleaned there and the car runs 100% better now... one of my injectors was stuffed-up. Richard Jensen really does a great job - and mails them back to you within a week or 2.
I hope you check out his website and get your injectors out to him.
Ciao,
