#54285, "Fuel Injector Cleaning / Vacuum Line Flush"
Jul-01-03 04:34 AM by jeffgsu

          

So i went to a nearby havoline/oil change repair shop cause their sign said "we clean fuel injectors". I asked what they did and they said they have a machine that will basically flush out the vacuum system and clean the injectors. I have no clue where this thing would attach but he said it was $50 bucks to have it done.

I have a long standing hesitation problem and I've done ALL the usual things to fix it. Would this be something that may help or is this a waste of money?

thanks,
jeff

I don't understand how you can "flush out a vacuum system and clean fuel injectors" without removing them. Don't waste your money.

Yea and the vacuum system is basically just that... a vacuum... what is there to flush out.. the "bad air" hahaha
I think they probably just dump some Fuel injector cleaner in your tank and call it a fuel injector cleaning...hhmmmm

Yeah you'd be better off with a can of fuel injector claner.

Most places charge around $100 to clean/balance injectors, and that's with them out. $50 to pull and clean properly... not gonna happen. If you really want them cleaned, yank em yourself and get someone to clean em right.

ok that's what i thought.

Thanks for everyone's input. I will pull out the old haynes manual and see what's involved in removing injectors. Thanks,

jeff
