FUEL INJECTOR cleaning

[rwh11385]

You guys are dumb.

Re-read what Jordan said. If your injectors are truly clogged, an injector cleaner won't really clean them like a professional can do.

I used Gumout, Sea Foam, everything......but only got good results when I replaced my injectors.

Re: Get a used se of injectors.....

what did you add the sea foam to? Your gas tank or the throttle body throat?

Get a used set of injectors. ($15 - $25)
Send them to this guy www.cruzinperformance.com.
He'll do this to them http://www.cruzinperformance.com/injsteps.html
When you get the cleaned injectors back, install them and sell your old ones.

This is Sea Foam: http://www.seafoamsales.com/motorTuneUpTechGas.htm
Here's how you use it on an e30: http://www.r3vlimited.com/phpBB2/vie...a+foam&start=0
Autozone now sells Sea Foam.

I had read about Sea Foam on this board and was curious about it. Then a couple of weeks ago I was at an Autozone and they had a huge display of the stuff. I bought a can (I think it was $5 - $6) and went to my friends house to use it. Easy to use, but you need two people. One on the gas and one holding the can. My car smoked alot for a while but eventually stopped. Afterwards, I noticed the engine running smoother, quieter, but thought I might be imagining it. That night I drove around with my girlfriend (who isn't into cars) but didn't tell her I'd done anything to the car. At the end of the night I asked her, "Did you notice anything different about the car?" I didn't lead her on in anyway as to what change, if any, I might have made. And usually when I ask her this question it's because I've detailed the car or in some way changed the appearance of the car. Right away she said, "Yeah, I noticed it right after you picked me up. It seemed....smoother." So there you have it. An unbiased review. Can't say it improved my cars performance, mileage or tell you with any certainty whether or not it cleaned my fuel injectors, combustion chamber, engine,....... but the car definetly smoked for a while and definetly ran noticeably smoother and quiter.

Wow, that's a deal on injector cleaning. I'd send mine to him.

Go to the link I provided explaining how to use Sea Foam.

Go to the link I provided explaining how to use Sea Foam. On pg. 3 there's a picture of an m20 engine in the post by "rwh11385". See the red hose running from the fuel pressure regulator to the back of the intake manifold (just above the valve color). Disconnect that hose from the pressure regulator while the car is running and put the end of the hose inside an open can of Sea Foam. (Note: if you disconnect the wrong end of the house you'll know because when you put the hose in the can, nothing will happen.) Hose will suck Sea Foam out of can and into engine. Car will stall unless you have someone behind the wheel revving the engine. When the contents of the can are empty, re-connect hose to pressure regulator and continue to mildly rev the engine until exhaust stops smoking.
