Fuel injector cleaning

I discovered an injector cleaning vid here on youtube, so I thought I'd make one specifically for XJ owners and the popular 703 swap.

[@pLanetstarBerry]

Glad I found this! This is a well put together video; good sound, to-the-point direction, and decent camera work. Also, the set up for this system is quite clever, I can't wait to try it out. Replacing all the fuel injectors I have now is too expensive for me, so I'm trying to salvage what I can to reduce costs, and hopefully this will help. Fingers crossed!

Hi there. I used this same principle to clean all the fuel injectors on my 2008 Hyundai Tucson. This was a very economical and effective way to perform a DIY. The whole project cost me about US$30. If I had taken this to the mechanic, It would have cost me much much more. Thanks for the vid.

[@flyingfish2]

very clever contraption ,best one so far on the tube. Good work, appreciated.

[@terraclean4856]

Great vid, I can clean the injectors professionally without the hassle. Good job, and commentary.

[@digitalpremonition]

This was a good video. I like this method because it a also tests the fuel injectors as well! Keep up the good work.

[@ChargerMiles007]

Nice way to do it! I did it another way using compressed air, and a short length of fuel line. I used a 12V battery charger to power the injector, but most automatic types they make these days won't do it. However a 6 to 12 Volt plug in adapter will work. To my knowledge injectors actually run at about 5 to 6 volts anyway. Nice vid :)

[@mu86neer]

Dude, that was really creative.... thanks for making this clip :-)

[@stingraystud]

this is a great vid, i have never thought of cleaning a fuel injector that way!!! looks like it works very well, :-)

[@briansmobile1]

Pretty cool technique you have going there. Thumbs up.

[@vravo7775]

Great video, Simple and Effective..

[@jamesb982]

thanks for unveiling the misteries of the injector clean looks like an opportunity to sell a home injector cleaning kit

[@superwhiz88]

u r amazingly creative.. thanks so much for the tips

[@YF-21Dream]

Thats about the coolest thing I've seen in a while

[@bluedistortions]

genius method for practically free, thanks for sharing! I've considered using an ultrasonic cleaner, but I think this method would be perfectly sufficient, especially with reverse cleaning.

[@dhf92886]

Nice job. Very good camera work and presentation!

[@ErikViktor]

Great video and funny as well. Bet you're Canadian! Continue the good work. Beware of the high 12V on the injectors as they are more likely running on much lower voltage.

[@mechanicsnorthperth]

NIce! This kind of improvise material is genius. Thanks for sharing it. Keep it up!

[@ScottysDetailing]

Never thought of cleaning the injectors awesome video!!

[@kashmirbahtti4623]

Nice

[@Unlimited_Slip]

I like this, I like this a lot. I wouldn't do it on my daily driver but looks it's perfect like a DIY project for a beater.

[@3dlll]

Very good video !

[@chillyE30]

Nice . Bought the little kit that’s on Amazon didn’t like the adapter that goes over the can leaks a lot this looks a lot better even gonna buy me a switch and do it this way . Thank you ❤❤

[@UniqueTouch]

mann that is Great stuff !!! might try that myself fella!!! Keep up the good work!!! and Thanks for this Tut!!!

[@wWowThatSoundsGoodD]

Worked great. I used a 9v battery instead and it worked just fine... Thanks for the vid

[@DougieFresh1970]

Thanks for sharing this video. I got a car that's set 10yrs that has some gummed up injectors.

[@balazspetho5070AgroGO]

Dear Robguitargod1! Thank you very much for share this video!!! Nobody knows what is the problem with my car. When I started the engine for 5 secound does not worked all of the cylinders, it was a little bit weak, and the gasreaction was too too slow... In the service told me the guy, my injection heads are good. I just try your way and the car will been smooth, start immediatelly, stronger, sharper. It will been a better car. So thank you very much again and sorry for my weak english. Regards

[@cassociauxtramluxembourg]

Great video, I'm from France and here garage don't reapare the injectors they just change them for 1200€😂😂😂 (you read well 1200€). With your technic, it has costed me 35€. Thanks you bro ❤.

[@yesiram8]

"Damnitt!!" 😂😂 Really hilarious But seriously, great video very informative I'm going to use this for practical purposes!

[@wawanpurwanto7146]

Hi..Good vid instructable, very helpful for my first injection engine service :D Thank you for this share...

[@annmargret6344]

Excellent tips!

[@nabeelkhadash4904]

Good evening and happiness you are cleaning the sprays with your beautiful style Thank you for this wonderful information Oh ok Worked to clean the survivors 👌But I change the filter sprays better

[@jjmcq2327]

great setup they were cleaned

[@Zlyzer]

I did this about a year ago after watching this video. Thanks for the idea!

[@E5mma_combat]

Clean set up bro great video

[@FunkinTwisted]

"Damn It" ............ excellent vid. Thanks!!

[@thill9k]

great job, that was very informative.Thanks

[@sgtmyers88]

Awesome! I got a Chrysler Cirrus (virtually the same as the Breeze) so this video may in fact come in handy in the future!

[@saavwafare]

That was a great job you must have put quite a bit of time in on perfecting this. Thanks.

[@nissan300zxmike]

LMAO, I kept laughing everytime he would say "damn it"

[@Jake.Gentry]

Awesome video bro

[@JohnCody117]

Great video...very helpful

[@125varma]

Thanks for answering and saving my ECU :)

[@pulsarloverCG2444]

Can we connect battery Negative and positive charge terminals to injector randomly. Does injector will work or it blow off ?? Please do reply

[@GlennnD]

Damn great idea !! Aerosol can's have actualy about the same pressure as a fuel line too ! will keep this in mind. Thank a lot :)

[@jpepabel]

thanks, this is just what I needed..!!!

[@Migueldeservantes]

Men you have such a good video and so so many hits that you should be getting payed by you tube! your volume is making them money babe!!

[@next675]

Thanks for your video mate!

[@oscaresquivel3625]

That was real easy,, well is how you made it look like,, ,, thx bro , nice video!

[@usd25674]

Thanks, will help me a lot.

[@MrPavePaws]

New title: Fuel injector cleaning (Damnit!)

[@AIRFORCEONEAMERICAN9]

this was an awsome vid thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@samhan7048]

great video. just want to ask does this work on any model fuel injectors for cars? or just for yours?

[@jfisk60903]

Nice job, with one exception, you might have mentioned eye protection for the operation outlined, especially since you noted a bit of a mishap with the syringe coming off under pressure, but other than that I'm very impressed, enough so to try it myself..Cheers

[@danseman1]

Very nice video. Thanks.

[@MoparMan-ff8fb]

does swapping of the injectors improve performance or fuel economy from the plymouth to your jeep?

[@txtommy713]

Thanks man for the video!

[@lawnside82]

thats one smart idea!!

[@garrygemmell5676]

Clever stuff!

[@Tn2dc24eva]

@robguitargod1 really good video man thanks alot, I just have one question. Is their no problem with the voltage? I mean connecting one injector to any battery is fine?

[@RefinerSimilitude]

You may also be able to buy the injector electrical connector like I did for my '89 f150. Took a lot of talking on the phone but I finally found it at Auto Zone for about $6. Beats driving 45 minutes to the closest self-service junkyard, and paying a $2 entry fee just to find out they may not have the part you are looking for.

[@Peppermint1]

Don't forget protective glasses, it may not seem but there is a bit of a pressure and those connections enjoy breaking free. Don't forget to back flush because that gives a flow from the opposite 'normal' direction. Install the injectors the same day, don't let them stay with that solvent overnight as it contains acetone and that can damage the injector. I use a small 9V battery by the way, plenty enough. Never use acetone or lacquer cleaner.

[@dragonvlv]

what do yo think about cleaning injectors in the supersonic bath ? it is now expensive to buy one

[@SuperRICODELAVEGA]

Gracias por esta explicacion, es muy practica y util.

[@tonylove1818]

Great cleaning tip thanks.....BTW where did you get the syringe?

[@gerardoperez8692]

Dam butter fingers, droppin everything!! good idea!!

[@Javii96]

Is there no need to replace the filters inside? I ordered some but they wont arrive until after i need my truck running for work. So i am probably not gunna swap them out.

[@fifteenbyfive]

Beginning manifold vacuum hot: 13.5-14 inHg Added Seafoam to my gasoline. Took the car out on the highway for 5 miles out and 5 miles back, doing about 80mph in the far left lane in 4th gear most of the time. Back to the garage, Ending manifold vacuum hot: 17.5 inHg. WHY? Why did my fan belt start slipping immediately after I started the motor for the first time after adding Seafoam to my gas? I remember cringing at the noise it was making (not knowing what it was, it was different than the way loose belts normally sound because the belt was brand new), while at the same time marveling at how much better the engine's pickup was. Yes, it was the belt slipping on the pulley from the torquier motor and this was every time I put the throttle down. That belt was tight enough for the way the motor ran before Seafoam but not after. WHY? Seafoam gets blamed for causing noises under the hood after using it, and yeah it caused a noise under my hood too. You'll have to excuse my own anecdotal evidence that it works is good enough for me and deniers look like idiots I'm sorry to see. Does it work for everyone? Hell no. Is what's presented in this video far more comprehensive? Hell yes. I should pull the injectors on my car and inspect them and either have them professionally cleaned, or replace them outright. But if you're a random person with some carbon buildup who's too irreligious to buy a $7 can of Seafoam and try it first before belaboring yourself into hundreds or thousands of dollars of expense and hours of smelly and even dizzy work, I don't know what's wrong with you broski.

[@mikeofalltrades69]

Used motor oil??? Why would you purposely put dirt on the intake side that might plug up your injector???

[@adisapta]

thks man for the video.!!...good idea!!!...will do on my injectors as well

[@ballestermiguel]

I tried to do but with automoviel battery and did not work. question. What is the battery voltage 3, 6, 8, 12 volts?

[@MatthewTaylor3]

This is a good video

[@MyBlkG35]

Very helpful indeed. Thank you.

[@MrCrunchybizzle]

did you use any type of sealant on the straw where it meets the syringe? or did you just find one that fits perfectly?

[@grambosix]

ooo damn that is a nice mist spray. nice job!

[@DiabloDrift]

Charlie Sheen just taught me how to diy clean injectors

[@bodybywill]

Nice job on the video

[@wowjunky07]

that's freaking awesome.

[@MasterMurga]

can we use brake cleaner to clean injectors as with carb cleaner, is it good to do it with brake cleaner like this

[@OnfloorAudio]

Very Clever ......i like it !!!

[@robguitargod1]

@parvizsoccer No special current rating on the switch, and you can use whatever you want as long as you make contact with the injector. Yes, 12VDC battery.

[@enzogiambra4027]

Thanks, great idea!!

[@oshpunit987]

That is a very good idea. Where did you get your syringe?

[@2024.choice]

Hey what I found that worked really great was a little bubbles that you buy to shut off a vacuum line a little hose clamp I put a hole real tiny in top of the bubble cut the straw off of the spray can at an angle shoved it through the hole no leaks and had the pressure

[@125varma]

Hey, I'm planing to install an additional injector in the air intake of the engine and inject water-alcohol in it. I'm going to connect the new injector to the signal wire of one of car's own injectors, so that every time that injector receives a signal and sprayed fuel into the chamber, the new injector receives the same signal at the same time and inject water into the air intake. Do you think this will cause a power drop on the signal wire of the main injector? Sorry for my bad English...

[@ramiretz]

thats the same way i cleaned my injectors too.... works pretty well .. i used wd40 worked very well too but carbcleaner cleans more/better for sure

[@Ghondi1]

yes TY. I seen a guy use a double A battery on one, But it wasn't working for me for some reason. I was worried about hooking up direct to the car battery like you did, Because I didn't know if it would be to strong or not. Appreciate the upload man and info.

[@mpirx]

Very nice info... Gonna give it a try after Xmas : ). Where can I get a fuel injector connector?

[@1bossplaya8444]

Thanks for the vid dude. Are the Dodge Neons the same? i scored 4 yesterday, but they look different than those you got there.

[@steftacular]

Thanks this is great!

[@bmwz4m]

how many volts is the battery? very nice video

[@korn1e]

Im curious, is there any different in battery connection between clean & reverse clean? or you just supply the liquid in 1 of those fuel injector's ends ?

[@Ikennalionking]

Nice one!

[@MrGlassAnkles]

sweet setup with the syringe. i heard 9v is safer since ECU's are actually reducing the voltage to the injectors so its not a true 12v.

[@muammeratac1648]

Teşekür ederim böyle güzel bilgi yayınladığınız için

[@Carfixing101]

Hey great video. just wondering where could i find the alligator cables you used. i live in toronto canada

[@Yaboireese223]

I own an xj too, how much power do these new injectors add?

[@kan815k]

Hi, can you upload video BEFORE & after cleaning.

[@andrew1jl]

hey did this give u more power and throttle response and milage and such?? . or should i just go buy new injerctors... also what did u say when u went to buy a sorringe ? did they look at u like u were gonna shoot up lol

[@user-ih3yl2mg9e]

I am trying find the operating voltage of a Deka VII injector.Can I give it 12V from my moto's battery?

[@elpelayocesar]

Thanks dude will try it but with 5 v. Good video and well explain.

[@fosty.]

The button is a great idea.
