gasoline cleans everything it touches. it's a natural detergent. it's the big crap that gets stuck in injectors that eventually gums them up. usually you have to either replace them or have them ultrasonically cleaned. you might as well step up to bigger injectors and the correct MAF.

Re: sputtering

and as an addendum, 'injector cleaner' that you add to you gas tank is a hoax.

you can have them cleaned at a shop they will block off the return side of the fuel system disco the fuel relay and run the engine strickly off the cleaner which can do a good job if the injector isnt too far gone. i m not sure if they sell a low cost kit over the counter to do it yourself. they might so you could ask local parts store. the kits are very pricey from the tools guys.

Re: sputtering

Anything you buy off a tool truck is pricey. Matco, Snapon, Cornwell, and Mac stop by for payments every week at work.
