FAST & EASY FUEL INJECTOR CLEANING GUIDE

[@carolinawestern3875]

I'm glad to see that someone else takes the time to do this and clean the entire injector, and demonstrated that it's not as complicated and costly as some customers are made to believe.

[@danielslaughter104]

It depends on how hard it is to remove the injectors. My mazda cx7 requires the intercooler, intake tubing, throttle body, coolant lines, power steering pump, intake, and multiple brackets to be removed before getting to the fuel rail and injectors. I would charge upwards of $600 to do this for a customer.

[@pitchforkpeasant6219]

This is a decent start. Reverse flushing works better, and while you are doing all this, you should replace the microfilters, it's quick and easy, and backflushing assures you get any potential debris out. To reverse flush: use a small piece of fuel hose that fits the front of the injector tightly, put a small hole in the hose to force your can of cleaner straw into, and block the back of the hose... PULSE the power to the injector, instead of leaving it on. move movement= more chance to knock crap free.

[@brianmelville279]

Verry. Good

[@davidsimmons1603]

There are injector rebuild kits that cost $10-20 dollars, they include caps, filter baskets and o rings. It really is a must to change these out after cleaning your injectors. A ohm test would also be advised.

[@2tallB]

plus you can get one of those ebay kits to help spray clean it for like $8 ... I can't image going through the trouble to take the injectors out and not change the o-rings/ filters

[@doyleredwine1683]

Great vid. I also recommend backflushing the injectors as well while you have them off and are doing this to be sure you get as thorough a clean as you can. Berrymans B12 is the strongest carb cleaner on the market and the best for removing varnish and built up contaminants on any fuel related part. I am not sure why you would use brake cleaner when Carb cleaner does a much better job. Great idea though with making a seal with the electrical tape. You will likely have to replace the tape several times as you are cleaning multiple injectors though as the carb cleaner starts to melt it and it gets mushy. Thanks for the video and great explanation.

[@pedrorojascervantes3928]

I would treat the O rings with a rubber rejuvinator , synthetic, non petroleum grease that won't react with the rubber or at least a silicone spray so that they don't dry out although you may want to replace them to be sure when re- installing them in the future. A good carb cleaner that you can find in a motorcycle shop or automotive speed shop would be my choice & a good soak in Marvel Mystery oil. A thoughtful & helpfull video btw !

[@charlesdowns1691]

what about dielectric grease? yes or no. it's silicone.permatex brand.

[@pedrorojascervantes3928]

@@charlesdowns1691 I would say yes rather than dry reassembly. Fix it Angel uses a jar of silicone paste with a brush in the cap for ease of reassembly for many rubber components & fittings such as vacuum lines & injectors too. Less chance of the O ring rolling or being pushed out of it's groove seating properly. Silicone will not react with the rubber/ neoprene & is heat resistant. I'd keep the brake cleaner away from rubber, plastic components The simple green / spray nine should not be a problem since it's non chemical based , same with marvel mystery oil.

[@lawrencejneuser8801]

[@ronplucksstrings7112]

Compliments on a very good hands-on video! In normal operation, Injectors are supplied 12V through a 6 Ohm current limiting Resistor which drops the actual V applied to Injector to 3V, so applying non-current-limited battery power scared me a bit at first, but I expect the V of such a small 9V Batt, connected to a near-short (of 1.3Ohms Injector R), will collapse the V to something non-damaging to the Injector (I realize it is only applied for a fairly limited time, but you should emphasize this also)...have you measured what V it collapses to? The only thing I might add is to check for an even spray pattern when doing the pressurized flush...if it is not even around the pintle orifice, a longer soak or additional flushing is called for until pattern is even...this is pretty important and the goal of the whole process! I also like the idea of storage-lubing the injectors after the cleaning process. Cheers Edit: From a safety standpoint, it is also VERY IMPORTANT to emphasize the use of (nonflammable tetrachloroethene) "Brake Cleaner", and NOT highly flammable carb cleaner for the flushing operation...atomized highly flammable carb cleaner could easily be ignited by the spark when disconnecting leads from the inductive Injector. Don't wind up like Jay Leno! Work Safely!

[@igoski1582]

Thanks. Every car I have needs this done. But, the most amazing part of the video was wearing the rubber gloves the entire time. I hate those things. Can't do I thing with them on.

[@TrentMRobertson]

Great, simple procedure! However, I have to agree that brake cleaner isn't the solvent to use for this application as it will dissolve rubber o-rings and plastic parts, while carb cleaner won't.

[@JMUDoc]

Thanks for including the replacement of the filters - any attempt to clean the injector in the "forward" direction only is going to leave the dirt in the filter! The filters are ridiculously cheap, by the way - I just got a set of eight for less than £5.

[@joeyknuckelz]

Use injector clean, pre soak over night, and never ever use electric tape. Always check the ohm resistance and replace all o rings and gaskets oem. Do it right do it once.

[@Peppermint1]

Don't forget to HAVE the basket filter installed when cleaning the injectors. Otherwise you will surely get debris inside from the rubber hoses used.

I used the method of cleaning all 4 at once running my car on carb cleaner for 4 straight mins...car seems to run very smooth now...I also changed plugs and coils. I am pretty sure carb cleaner is strong enough to remove dirt etc from injectors ...now if screens have large solids clogging that may be an issue since many injectors screens can not be removed...the key is routinely cleaning and adding solution to your tank to keep injectors spraying correctly imo..

[@gilbertobatac7046]

As preventative maintenance, how often should injectors be cleaned like this? Would you recommend a mileage interval-say, every 50K miles? or? What's the general consensus?

[@shaggyberto5783]

what kind of cleaner did you use first,?,

[@gfsa01]

No backflushing?

[@theSword-]

A constant voltage applied to the injector will overheat the coil and ruin it. It needs to be opened quickly several times to preserve it, NOT constant power applied. And research the voltage rating on the injector before doing this cleaning routine.

I use a pipe, 2 metal end caps with a ball valve with a hose coming off of one end to connect to the injector and the other end has a air hose connector, I load the pipe with cleaner and connect a air compressor to charge the pipe with 40 psi of pressure, and then I use a 12 volt battery set up with a finger switch to pulse the injectors, this has become an even more important task if you have a car you leave in storage for long durations that uses the ethanol blended fuels because it separates and cause a greenish sludge build up on the screens and filters, ethanol is garbage.

[@vezina808]

For those of you who are looking for how to clean fuel injectors then look no further. This video is it right here!

[@Raevenswood]

A better way to clean the injector is to use carb clean not brake clean and go get a cheap tire valve stem set and remove the schrader valve from one of them then it’s basically left hollow. Second you melt a straw size hole in the end of the screw on cap that goes on the tire valve stem and then glue in the straw to the end of the cap ... helps to push it through quite a bit and then melt the end of the straw so it starts rolling over and making a beveled edge then pull it back through just enough so it butts up against the inside of the cap. To glue it I used Marine goop but epoxy might also work. Then you take the grommet end of the tire valve stem and it fits on to the back of the injector and makes an air tight seal. Connect the straw to your carb clean, connect the negative lead to your injector then pressurize the injector and tap the positive lead to the other prong on the injector... it will not only clean the injector but you’ll also get an idea of the spray pattern AND if your injector holds pressure or if it’s leaking. Plus you don’t get a bunch of electrical tape mess around or inside your injectors .

[@deplorabledave1048]

I like this idea with the valve stem!! I think carb cleaner is going to dissolve carbon and gum FAR better than spray 9. What is so special about a common degreaser like Spray 9??? Carb cleaner is specific for dissolving carbon.
