Fuel injector cleaning

[Warren]

I have removed my fuel injector rail set from my 91 Spider and would like to have the injectors checked out/cleaned. I suspect I have a problem with one of them. Does anyone have some good vendors out there they would recommend? Thanks.

I had mine cleaned at Cruzin Performance in Michigan. Rich Jenson is the guy to talk to there. Cost was about $50 cleaned, blueprinted and shipped back to you within a week or so. He will email you a link to see the stats on each of your injectors before he sends them back.

try Marren up in Connecticut -- I paid about $90 to have mine cleaned and blueprinted. They turned them around fast too.

I had no idea such a service was available!!!! And to think that all these years I have been shoving Techron FI cleaner into my tank... Tell me something -- Was the performance of the engine really that noticable? To me, this seems like it could be a 'routine' service every 3 or 4 years... Do you think having it done that often would be detrimental? Just wondering...

As another source, I had my 4-cyl injectors cleaned at www.cleaninjectors.com in Bitely, Michigan. Good turn-around, hardcopy report (which the cleanies around my house promptly pitched into the recycling the day before I went to file it) with before/after cleaning flow rates so you know whether to expect a change in behavior from the injectors, new pintle caps. Can't say anything special about it but that it really eased my mind about whether the injectors were a problem source. They weren't. $49 plus postage to the shop.

Greg Gordon's oldebottles.com page gives some detail about such things. Spica injetors are more like diesel injectors (high pressure), while the Bosch injectors are low-pressure jobs. Cleaning rates may differ on the two kinds. I didn't look it up. Greg's info really helped me home in on the actual problem when I thought I had various ones on an '86.
