$3 FUEL INJECTOR CLEANING! How to DIY fuel injector service for almost no money! 

I spent $50 on a 2L sonic cleaner (Vevor brand) specifically to clean my injectors while the engine was apart. It was a little tricky to make sure the inside cavity was filled with cleaner instead of air, but when that's done you put an injector in a zip lock and fill it with enough cleaner to fully submerge it. Then you fill the cleaner with hot water, put the zip lock in, and let it do its thing for 5 minutes (one injector at a time). They came out like new inside and out. Probably over kill but worth it IMO.

This is the most sensible solution I've seen.

Great demo! I'd probably let them soak for a while to totally dissolve any gunk or varnish & repeat the flushing. Love the screen replacement, never knew they made them.

Great video. First one I've seen that even mentioned the filter baskets. One thing I'll add is you can attach a hose to the nozzle end and push everything out of the inlet side. It's unlikely, but if you do get a piece of debris in the injector that is bigger than the holes in the nozzle, this will still get rid of it.

Thank you for taking the time to explain your process, and for making this video. I wish I had seen this before I spent $$$ on a kit!

Nice job.very creative .I will use this today on some injectors I have.thank you

On side feed injectors you can use a similar method for back flushing the injectors. Simply remove the plunger and slide the syringe over the injector, I use a can of carby cleaner through the outlet of the syringe connected with some vacuum hard line. Could use your method by cutting end off syringe and use the plunger to create pressure as you do.

Very cool and simple!!!

Superb ..I love doing a great job super cheaply ! I have a couple of million in the bank, but doing this kind of thing gives me a BUZZ and a feeling of accomplishment !

BRILLIANT...GOOD SLEUTHING BRO!!!

Great informative video, thanks. God bless.

A very good idea, thx!

9:50 would be a great idea to spray out any fiber from the q tip with air before you press the filter in. Because If any fibers are left behind they will probably get stuck in the injector nozzle.

Thx think I might have injector issues. Liked the info got 89 351w I just had the upper intake off wish I would have done this

Great job, thanks

Just on the battery... the injector determines the current draw which will be the same whether you use a 12V battery pack or a car battery so you can certainly use a car battery.

Been putting off my fuel injector job for awhile Got them pulled today Glad I found your slick technique to clean Hope all goes back together easier than getting them out😢

i used one of those corded 7.5v 0.500mA power packs it worked, i have used car batteries but i did notice the injector warm up in my hand. even at 9v dc at .75amps they get warm IF you accidentally leave it on, ended up using a momentary on switch from a windrcreen washer kit i had lying around, i destroyed an injector trying to remove the bucket screen so im just buy the tool. i think theres a fine line between a screw that is just right and one that just ruins your day, it was a very good injector too lucky i have spares im going to get more used injectors that i can practice removing these screens LOL

Good job

Thanks

It sound very simple,the tool you bought are in the Amazon department,it is best to take a photo

Good cleaning, especially at only $4 !!!

When I clean mine they were almost dead. I blew cleaner both directions through the injector. When I was finished they were like new (as far as I'm concerned)

Very clever and my favorite i've seen so far. what type of pattern spray are you looking for? a stream or a misty spray? thanks.

wow! And you can sort of perform a pressure test too!

Thanks.

Great idea!!!

Are you running the negative directly to the 9v battery? Just curious as my switch doesn't have a negative Just positive in and out.... appreciate your help

is this method good for all domestic vehicles or for some models I have a 2006 chevy avalanche and a 1989 chevy corvette

Will this work for aftermarket injectors? Im currently installing braided fuel hose on my Turbo foxbody and got dirt in the 80lb deka injectors that I need to clean out. I also need to clean the hoses from when I cut them with a cutoff wheel if you have a video showing that. Im going to see if I can find the filter baskets for my injectors.

i have a toyota 2002 avalon how do i know what size Micro Filter?

There are some fuel injectors with larger inlets on the top, like 4x New Fuel Injectors for 2001-2002 Saturn SW2 SL2 SC2 1.9L I4 25178967 25178968 4Pcs Fuel Injectors For 2003-2005 Pontiac Sunfire Chevy Cavalier 2.2L 832-11211 I bought the kit shown in this film, the o-rings fit, but the filter baskets seem to be too small, they could go inside of the inlet opening down and you can't tape them. Do you know what it is and how to chenge the filter baskets in those injectors? Thank you for your film.

Hey man where’d you get the o ring kit?

Is it possible to clean a non electric injector with the seringe method such as in my diesel engine

That hammer is narly! :)

I want to use brake cleaner, do you think it is better internally?

Nice job, what vehicle did these injectors come out of? where are new o-rings sourced? btw you don't really need the momentary switch just tap the wires be fine for one care unless you already have a momentary switch handy

so how would one know that its clean enough to work properly within the car? Cause ive seen injectors that either stream the liquid out or it comes out as a mist, which way is right?

SERIOUS QUESTION: Why is this setup with the canister so different than just simply adding a couple quarts of B12 cleaner directly to an EMPTY fuel tank and letting it idle?

Are those diesel injectors? Regular gas tends to act as it's own solvent so rarely get carbon build up.

Can I use w40 oil to clean it instead?

Can this be done with 2002-2005 hyundai Sonata?

94 f150, rebult engine. 180k on old ejectors. Should I buy new or rebuild?

Now, let me be the first to admit that this is not a replacement for a professional ultrasonic clean and test, but when you're on a budget, it's hard to beat!

Where do you get the switch and syringes?

Great video and very informative!! Yours was measured in 6x3x13.1 mm is your measurements for your car. My car is a 2016 Subaru Forester. On Amazon it shows options to buy 4 -8 fuel filter baskets that comes with that basket fuel injector basket removal tool. It made it sound like the fuel injector filter baskets were all the same. Obviously not and you pointed that out but Amazon did not. It goes to show you how crooked this world is in ripping you off. (4) 2016 Subaru Forester fuel injectors are $500. I never knew you could rebuild these and never replaced one. I look forward to getting my car fixed as it has 84k miles and from 31-32 mpg it guzzles gas bad at 16-18 mpg which is pitiful. I put air filter, changed oil, plugs, etc.

Too many amps will burn the injectors? Arent amps rather a principle off "pull" than of "push"? Meaning the injectors just pull as much as they need, no matter if you have 1A or 20A? Thats what I thought at least.

Mine just came out

what car?

$80 to clean fuel injectors? Were they going to remove and install or spray with a system?

For the first few seconds I thought I had accidentally clicked on “how to evade behavioral injections at the mental ward”. I thought he was wearing a straightjacket with the facility’s logo on it and that corner was his “safe” corner. Actually I think I nailed that last part. Funny how people will fabricate a fake wall to present an appearance of organization, cleanliness, harmony, or affiliation with a more widely known and accepted entity. Sometimes to comic relief.

🙅🏿‍♂️

U need to use ultrasound to clean deep inside the injector. Doing like this is not going to clean much.

😑

I I'll q
