What's the difference between professional fuel injector cleaning and using products bought in stores?
Q. I want to know if I should have my fuel injectors professionally cleaned, of if I will be just as good using the fuel injector cleaners I have been buying at local auto parts stores. I have a 1995 Jeep Cherokee and it is idling rough.

A. Excellent first answer. Note that your normal maintenance schedule in your owner's manual does not include fuel injection cleaning! I personally like Chevron gas and their Chevron Concentrated Techron fuel injection and intake manifold cleaning product available at auto stores. All Chevron regular and premium gas contains the same amount of Techron.

How can I change a Fuel Injector on a 1995 Beretta Myself?
Q. I've been told I can remove it quite easily & replace the O Rings on the injector instead of replacing the "entire" injector itself. The fuel injector is plastic, the cap ontop of the injector is plastic. Its located on the drivers side.(in the middle) Its an Automatic transmission. Its a 2.2 litre 4 cylinder engine. Ok chevymatt Is there any way I can tell if the injector is leaking internally or externally?

A. it is quite easy on that engine. remove the air intake tube, throttle cable bracket at throttle body, and 2 torx screws holding the fuel injector hold-down bracket. it will take a little wiggling to get that bracket slid off the injectors and out from under the fuel pressure regulator. after that bracket is off, the injector will slide right out of the rail with a little pry. as far as replacing the o-rings and not the whole injector -- if it is leaking externally (which they always do on those engines), you are going to have to replace the whole injector. the injector body itself is what leaks, not the o-rings. be sure to lube the o-rings when you are putting it back together.

How often should I add fuel injector cleaner to my gas?
Q. I have an '04 Chevy Aveo, and I'd like to keep it running as well as possible until the frame rusts out. I heard that injector cleaner has to be carefully moderated, or else it gums up the spark plugs. How often should I pour it in the tank? Thanks!

A. You really only need to use it maybe once a year. Modern gasoline has detergents in it that keep the engine fairly clean. People really only need to use it when they have had a bad batch of gasoline or other bizarre things.

what's the difference between fuel injector cleaner and fuel system cleaner?

A. The two terms are used interchangably to describe the same type of product.The injector/fuel system cleaners break up and remove the varnish like residue that builds up in the fuel lines and fuel injectors. These deposits begin to cause the injectors to spray the fuel in an erratic pattern causing a loss of performance and economy. Some products can also break up the carbon deposits that build up in your engine that also cause reduced performance, but mostly all of them are intended to do the same job. I wouldnt use an octane booster, its a product designed to increase the volotility of your gasoline to make it combust at a lower temperature. If your car is not engineered for 93 octane fuel then 93 octane fuel usually wont do you any good… [cont.]

How to troubleshoot fuel injector on Volvo?

How do i tell if my fuel injector needs replacement/cleaning?
Q. I was told my car needs work done on the fuel injector. The mechanic said that since it jerks sometimes when i press the gas, the fuel injector is having problems. Is this true? The car is an 89 ford escort with 45k miles. New spark plugs, recent oil change, and recent trans fluid change. I don't think there are any trans problems, as the jerking happens even when it doesnt shift.

A. Rough idling; lack of smooth accelaration, poor fuel economy, hard starting, and visible leaks are all signs of fuel injector problems. A 1989 Escort I suspect has 145 k miles (I have a 1989 Mazda 323, vritually the same car with 200 k miles). I have never had a problem with the fuel injectors. Two things to try; add 2 quarts of Methyl alcohol (Methanol) to your gas tank and fill with 87 Octane gas). Second, add fuel injector cleaner to a full tank of gas (available from Napa, GI Joes, Prp Boys, etc). If you still have the jerking problem, it may be a faulty Oxygen Sensor (feels like an ignition miss when driving).

Asked by Eby V - Wed May 13 05:09:53 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Idling allows the cylinder temps to fall off, causing some unburned fuel. So does low compression, low fuel pressure at the nozzle and poor fuel quality. This lets the nozzle get clogged, causing a bad spray pattern making it worse.

A. The mechanic should have pulled the spark plug out while he rolled the engine over. If he did then the piston wouldnt have shattered from the compression, just from the stress of being so tight on the cylinder walls while it was being forced up and down, If He left the plug in while he rolled the engine over its very possable that it would have caused piston damage

A. It sounds like your injectors are dirty, or have carbon deposits on the tips. That will make the spray pattern go nuts! You may need to check the fuel filter as well. Take your car to a shop where they can check your fuel pressure, injector pulse width, and clean your injectors. I'd think about replacing that computer as well, it'll save you trouble down the road. Readers Digest version: Fuel injection Systems You have: high pressure fuel pump, filter, injector fuel rails,fuel pressure regulator, and return line to gas tank. Computer controls fuel pump, injector pulse width (time injector actually fires),and adjustments based on engine load factors for injector timing, and pulse width.

Why are there metal shavings around my fuel injector?
Q. I was having a hesitation problem in my 1995 T100 and it appeared to be a fuel injector problem. There was a code set for misfiring on cylinder 1, so I pulled it today along with the other two injectors on that side. When I pulled the injector there were metal shavings right around where it sits in the cylinder. What could have caused this? BTW, up until 600 miles ago, the truck hadn't been run in over 3 years.

A. The injectors sit in an alloy seat. Just by removing the injectors from their seated position will cause some shavings to be created. The injector housing itself is non-alloy and made of harder non-alloy material. That's where the shavings came from. I would not worried about it. The shavings can be blown clean with shop air, plug the injector seat when doing that. Good luck

A. 1 qt. would not treat a whole tanker, the cheap gas probably has more water in it, i would use the inj. cleaner anyway just cuz i does help break up any deposits.

Q. I use cheap gas like Arco & Ultramar and my car got 18MPG. I switched to Chevron for a month and got 22MPG! But I can't afford Chevron cause they are like 30 cents/gal more.

I have a 1999 corolla that will not accelerate over 20 miles per hour could it be the fuel injector?
Q. We tried fuel injector cleaners, but they only work temporarily and changed spark plugs and that only helped a little. The engine light goes on and off at will and autozone could not read any codes. Any ideas?

A. check if your exhaust is clogged. take your car to a repair shop, you may spend more money while you replacing parts. possible mass air flow sensor
