Good injectors needed

[Denverdelorean]

Anyone have some good injectors? I would like to get some working used ones. Mine are completely plugged from varnish. I really should send my entire system out to be cleaned, but I just can help myself from trying to get things working on the cheap.

I have heard mixed results with this process, but you may want buy one, to give it a try (or find someone local to borrow):

Ultrasonic Cleaner Unit $35 -- Ultrasonic Cleaner Powder $6

You can usually find a 20% off coupon to apply to the higher
priced items, and save yourself tax (or better) when buying.

My local papers and car magazines usually have the coupons.

I have the same process. My wife has one of those Ultrasonic jewelry cleaners. I guess I'll give it a go over the next day or two. Right now I have 2 failing injectors. I already soaked them in parts cleaner/carb cleaner for 4-5 days.

If you don't score some decent used injectors there is at least one of our vendors who offers a cleaning and testing service.

Hervey says he'll clean them, test for pattern, leakage and pressure hold. Maybe other D vendors offer this as well.

Here is a FI cleaning service I ran across randomly: http://clean.injectorrx.com/fuel-injector-cleaning/

Not all injectors can be salvaged....cleaning success depends on how badly degraded they are. If yours are completely plugged they might not be good candidates for cleaning - no experience on that score myself.

I was able to get a pretty good flow after soaking them in carb cleaner for about an Hour. I then blew through cleaner and got a nice cone out of each one. they seem to be OK now. I don't think they were fouled as badly as i thought.
