I'd rather take it to the mechanics and have them clean it for you.

how much would that costt?

Yeah i would pull the injectors out and send them to like RC and have them clean them. I work a place in the summer that makes Prestone products and we make the Fuel Injector Cleaner and it dosen't work worth a dam. If the guys in the lab that mix the shit won't use it than i won't. Most all of the shit is the same too like Gas Treatment, 0-60 Booster, Fuel Injector Cleaner...pretty close to all being the same shit.

It varies. Depends who u go to. A place by my house charge 150. Those bottles u buy don't work as well.

You would do that for DX injectors?

For that price he could do the mpfi swap.

Yeh if its for dx injectors i wouldn't. U can get si injectors or any b-series if u want to upgrade it?

Oh for a DX well in that case i would start pulling mounts and rip the motor out and put a Si in it. Thats how i would fix a bad, or clogged injector in a DX.

well see i am not even sure if it the injectors because this is what happens to me every soo often i go to accelerate it does that like "putt putt sound and will usually die then i have to put it in to park start it up again and go

I would check the rotor and distributor cap first.

Dx18704 · #12 01-19-2003, 05:41 PM

how would i check them? like what would i be looking for?

pull off the cap, make sure the rotor is on tight and has no cracks and is looking healthy... look around in the cap make sure it looks all good and clean no broken parts ect.

the distrubutor cap is where the other end of the spark plug wires hook up to right......sorry i am kinda dum just making sure

Jmunk · #15 01-19-2003, 10:25 PM

Yeah, it could also be bad spark plugs, wires or a number of things but i would look at the cap and rotor to see what they look like and go from there.
