On low resistance injectors of a few ohms resistance, I would do very short pulses less than a second each. As short as you can.

I watched a few of these videos, and this tool would have been handy. Just adding info for whoever it may help. I used safety googles and gloves. Remember to safely depressurise the fuel system as it goes to 3000 PSI on mine - which can kill. I used the soft plastic red tip you can find in the lid of a can of lighter fluid as an adapter, which fit perfectly in my Bosch petrol fuel injector back. It deforms slightly to make a seal. I pulled the spray nozzle off the top of a can of carb cleaner to access the main straight nozzle. It takes a bit of coordination to hold it tight to the injector. I rigged up a switch so I could keep distance from the battery and reduce sparking (with heat shrink). It needs to be able to handle a few amps or it can short and burn your injector. You will be making a mist of flammable vapour so do this outside. It took a whole can of 500ml to clean through 4 injectors plus 1 spare. There was enough left to clean the throttle body and intake. The pressure drops in the can as you go. I'd guess that there is about 60 PSI of pressure in a new can. As removed from the engine, I found white waxy deposits coming from the tips of the injectors and along the body, where compression from the engine was forcing the deposits back towards the fuel rail. I've read this comes from water and gunge from the tank loosened by modern E5 fuels. Its cleans your fuel system and leads all the contamination to your precious injectors. But now it's all cleaned out. TYVM. Also if you use the lighter adapter, beware it can split towards the end of a can.

Hi Cyd, really enjoy your videos and found them very informative. My daughter has a Skoda Fabia 1.6tdi 2010 model 105,000 miles, which has started playing up and she has had 2 injectors replaced at around £500 an injector. What is the main failure of an injector and how is best to prevent it happening or at this mileage, is it to be expected?
@wandameadows5736 Жыл бұрын
Just use the fuel injector cleaner additive as a part of maintenance & you shouldn't have a problem. Any of the additives are good but I use B-12 Chemtool & Lucas brands but they all work. There's also the fuel filter that should be replaced when ever your car manufacture calls for it. Its actually insane how much a mechanic will charge for replacing injectors cause they dont cost that much brand new. In engines with (DI) direct injection its not the injectors that are the problem, its the carbon build up on the lifters so if you have a direct injection engine its a waste to replace injectors & the only way they can clean them is physically cleaning the intake with a blaster system. Using a peanut shell blaster is the most common on these issues.
@CycloneCyd Жыл бұрын
As noted, direct injection is hard on the injectors because of the carbon which gets into the pintle and causes blockage and wear. See my video on rebuilding injectors kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l52ToL2jp8exfWw.html and you'll see I used an ultrasonic bath and injector activation tool. Learn how to remove your injectors and do this every couple of years or 30,000 miles max.

No rubber inside. Make sure to use a carb cleaner and you'll be okay. It's worth back flushing your injectors first, if you can (not possible on DI injectors)
