Slimpsy1647545505 Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Just curious. . . my throttle response hasn't been that great as of late and I was wanting to try some fuel injector cleaner. I've always been kind of skeptical of the "miracle additives" so I'm asking for those of you who have experience in using the product. . . and cause I'm cheap. . is it worth it? It seems to make sense. . . but does it really work? thanks in advance. -Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
351mach11647545510 Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 it's not gonna magically fix it if your injectors have been neglected. it should be used regularly but it should start using it if you dont. try a tune up and seafoam-ing it.

superchevy72 Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Gumout makes a Throttle body foaming cleaner that works pretty well. take off your air cleaner,open butterfly and spray. that helped my TBI camaro when my gas pedal was sticking. if that doesnt work try doing a tune up and running some 94 octane thru it.

Guest 78novaman Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Run a bottle of dry gas(water in the tank will make it run like ass), then on the next tank run a bottle of lucus or STP injector cleaner. I do this at least once a year to keep the mpg up. Cleaning the throttle body is a very good idea too. Just be sure to get one that is friendly with electronics, aka DON'T use carb cleaner! I've heard good things about the seafoam but have not tried it myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acec Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 BG 44K (also air induction cleaner )works very well IMO http://www.bgprod.com/products/fuelair.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87GT Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 I've had luck before with gumout fuel injector cleaner with old injectors. Putting that in on an empty gas tank after every oil change. It would work well until the next oil change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1647545494 Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 you can get your injectors cleaned I know we had the machine at firestone (hooks into the fuel rail and feeds injector cleaner directly through the injectors without fuel) we do not have the machine to do this at ntb though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intriguing_olds Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 seafoam works good... and its not expensive.. i noticed a difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lewie06A3 Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Seafoam +1 buy 2 cans, dump half into crank case, dump other half into fuel tank. Suck other can through vacuum line into intake. After it's all sucked in, shut car off for 10 minutes. Turn car on, go for ride, enjoy James Bond smoke screen, dont' go over 3000 rpm's, seafoam thins oil out really nicely. Change Oil. Always change oil after seafoaming.

90_EAGLE_TALON Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Columbus diesel supply has a gasoline injector machine. Call and talk to Brad and tell him Derek sent you there and he will give you a good deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
