HOW TO: Clean your Injectors IN PLACE!

As a young Grasshopper, you poured some chemical in the tank to clean the injectors. Next Level Cleaning: you run the whole engine off the entire bottle! This can make a significant improvement if your injectors are really bad, and probably not a bad thing to do once in a while.
You'll need a kit though:

For the loose tool case, I've fixed that in the past by smearing a thin coat of hot glue in the bad slots with a popsicle stick. Another option I haven't gotten around to trying yet, but may work, is gently smushing the slots tighter with a soldering gun plastic smoothing tip (like the Weller 6160). Thanks for lesson and the humor. Have a happy new year.

17:39 "I tell you, the more modern vehicles get..." I maintain the position that if there were a company spun up right now, calling themselves "Just Car", producing 90s volvo-esque frames & bodies, where the most electrically-complex component was the easily-replaced stereo... they'd sell like hotcakes. But I guess their ESG score would be abysmal.

It runs a long time on that small amount of fuel because that small engine is just idling. That 5.7 would eat it faster but it's most likely that the fuel went to your fuel tank on the return side. I've had it happen before.

I may do this as I have a pressure issue possibly an injector or pump issue. Ran seafoam.theought the gas tank for 1 tank no change in issue. So have done the key on-off method to pressure the fuel rail, and it starts right away. Does a seafoam induction clean and vehciel smoked for 22 minutes nice and thick and drove for 10 minutes on highway and still smoked another 5 minutes ran another round once I got back and this time it was light smoke so I'm assuming that I did well. Throttle body looks.clean from direct spray in method as well and wiped it out. I'm servicing an 02 Town and Country that was heading to the junkyard. And donating to a needy family.

I've had good results doing this but not nearly as good as an ultrasonic cleaning on a flow bench. The students like it better too because they get to actually see and gauge the results of the cleaning by watching and measuring the way they flow. I have the OTC on car master fuel injection kit with all the fittings (in my opinion, better kit than this because of the quality and the spec. book that's included for students to look up the information in). We also have the new Launch CNC-605A flow bench with ultrasonic cleaner. Both good products.

@crasher88 Жыл бұрын

the valve on the cap should be a manual pressure release valve. Just push on the top of it after you are done running the cleaner and have disconnected the air supply hose you can depress to valve and relieve the pressure in the canister and line before disconnecting the line on the fuel rail. And a tip on the return line system with this set up, another safety precaution is to take the gas cap off or jam a funnel into the filler neck of the caps less fill ports. This is just a precaution in case you accidentally open the pressure regulator on the rail an have 40+ psi of constant regulated pressure being pumped into the fuel tank. It it does the pressure will harmlessly vent to the atmosphere and not rupture your tank.

OK - so how about the old fashion type of carb/injector cleaner? Take it out on a clear un-obstructed road and just floor it! That should open up the injectors to max and allow the fuel flow to help clean them. Also using a cleaner at the same time. Must be done several times to be effective, then every month, just floor it (and not get a ticket by speeding ). Works for me.

@GregWellwood Жыл бұрын

The flow through the injector is always the same, it's only the "on" time that changes. You need something that can _dissolve_ the stuck-on debris.

Dump a can of seafoam in your gas tank every two months or so and it will work wonders for keeping your injectors clean. It also helps to not use shit grade gas from questionable gas stations because that junk often has a ton of water and particulate in it.

Let me teach you a little something about using this tool, young man! You are best to start the car and get it warmed up before you hook this up, so your injectors will be wide open and spraying plenty of cleaner. Your best to use a cleaner actually made for this tool. You can add seafoam to your gas tank and do the same thing you're doing. I'm just here to teach the teacher. I noticed your car was not running very good at first and warming it up will also solve this problem.

@wheater5 7 ай бұрын

I don’t understand why you think the engine has to be hot. From what you posted, you seem to think that the “cold running” fuel doesn’t go through the injectors. In fact, the same injectors provide all the fuel, whether the engine is fully warmed up or not. When the engine is cold they will actually add more fuel than when hot, so they will be open longer at idle than when fully warmed up. They don’t ever “open wider”, hot or cold; the ECU only varies the length of time they are open.

@GregWellwood Жыл бұрын

In the video, I setting the regulator on the cleaning unit to about 5psi less than the fuel pressure of the vehicle. Since it is regulated here, you don't need to change the regulator on the compressor. On the red car, I used our $8000 shop air compressor. On the gray car I used my $120 portable compressor. You would want the compressor on and connected and pressurized. It's not going to push anything through until the injectors open by the computer. I don't know if you could do it on a portable 12V compressor - It's not volume of air that it needs, it's merely pressure, and 13V compressors are pretty minimal. You'd have to see if the compressor could maintain the right pressure. Good question!

Seafoam (or other fuel cleaner) is pretty harmless in the fuel. It will either make a difference or it won't, there isn't much that can go wrong. Using it (or any other cleaner) as an engine flush or combustion chamber cleaner is a bit different, which comes with the risk of making things worse. Or better! (grin)
