[memememe99]

well after alot of time and money i have found out my problems with my gp is a clogged injector.i thought about sea foam agin but does it really work that well?i just heard of some cleaning system from a car dealer here where they run cans of somthing through your fuel system have any of you heard of this?and would it be better than using sea foam?thx

For cleaning specifically fuel injectors, if it's minor, I would run a bottle of concentrated lucas cleaner through it. But if its to the point where your actually experiencing fuel shortage / richness / misfiring, ect. I would deffinately have them professionaly cleaned. A dealer or shop (shops are much cheaper) can do this. They usually offer an injector cleaning, a fuel system cleaning, and both. I would get both. They hook your entire fuel system up to a solution they have and run it off that - it cleans everything superbly. Yes; it would deffinately be better then seafoam. To have the entire system professionaly flushed / cleaned at a shop will run you anywhere from 75 to 100 $; but is deffinately worth it. You can't beat it.

I agree with Ridenour, pour in treatments work nicely to prevent problems, but are virtually useless once an injector gets clogged. The in-shop treatments use a pressurized system and clean the injectors much more thoroughly.

Seafoam works very good and should be used as maintence. A good shop will have a cleaner that hooks directly to the fuel rail to clean the injectors. The can type that goes into the pressure test port is not very good and just a good way to clean out your wallet.
