Injector Cleaning
 
1 Attachment(s)
My VX civic had a very very dirty fuel filter (it looked nearly original, and the car does have over 250k mi on it)... When I dumped it up side down after shaking it, brown came out... And I have a feeling I could have some semi-clogged injectors possibly.

I changed out the plugs after about 20k miles of driving it and the two middle injectors were blackish, while the outside two injectors were white, like it should be with lean-burn. I know my last VX d15z1 motor which smoked (burned oil), and had about 250k on it, had white plugs when I checked them after driving it for a few months.

The car is now starting to have some bumpy idle issues, which never happened before. The car still does get 43 mpg without driving on the highway, but the lumpy low idle is starting to concern me (new plugs, newer wires, new fuel filter, newer o2 sensor, new dist parts, cleaned out iacv, still need to clean out the EGR system and look into a possible vacuum leak). I wanted to look into some professional injector cleaning since I want to keep this car running perfect.

I found one site that has pretty low pricing, $17 per injector plus $10 shipping, $78 grand total.

Anyone use a place that cleans them for cheaper?
