Hello all,
My car is getting a bit of a rough idle on cold starts and with over 82,000 miles without a carbon cleaning (as far as I know) I think it's time. While the manifold is off though I am thinking about having the stock injectors shipped out, professionally cleaned, and flow checked. I saw a member on FaceBook post results of his injectors being cleaned and the difference was outstanding, but I can't for the life of me find that post. Given the mileage I think this could be good preventative maintenance in the hopes that I do not get a stuck or clogged injector and I might uncover a bit of power as a bonus. Has anyone done this before? The guy on facebook was the first person I saw doing it, but it seems like a good idea. What do you guys think?
In regards to “injector cleaner” or something that you put in your gas tank I am not interested in doing that at this time.
Also I am looking at getting this done at Brentuning in Massachusetts. If anyone has a better shop suggestion I am all ears. Thanks!
