Injector Maintenance/Cleaning Question.......
Well I am tuning up my 4.0 and I am not really ready yet to upgrade the injectors to newer neon ones. But, I am wanting to take them out, and perform a little maintenance on them. What would y'all suggest?...change o-rings, clean them, what do I use? And what are the benifits of cleaning/tuning up the injectors?
|
soak them in injector cleaner overnight, spray out the insides with injector cleaner, and put on new o-rings. Benefit is having a clean injector. The upgrade (swapping in neon, 4 ports) allows for better fuel atomization and gives you a smoother idle and better throttle response.

Alright, thank you very much, but this may be a stupid question: but, being that the injector is an actual solenoid that opens and closes rapidly injecting fuel (right? ) well since there is some type of "electrical board or motor" inside the injector that performs the opening and closing- couldn't soaking them in and injector cleaner cause harm to the electronics? -That's just what i figured, but i have no experience in how the injectors work.. Please enlighten me...?:bangin:
If I am wrong please correct me.. because i am very curious and work like to know the workings before performing the maintenance. |
Oh and i was also wondering about the fuel rail, if fuel runs directly thru it to supply the injector with fuel then i would figure that the fuel rail is pretty gunky and dirty too. Is it possible to clean them also?????
|
no harm to the injectors by soaking them and yes you can clean the rail. Just remove it as well and spray it out with injector cleaner.
|
Alright, thanks man, one more question, how do you actually remove them, i have the gist of the procedure, but would like a link or instructions on the actual fool proof method.... thanks again
|
If they aint broke, don't fix them.
|
Just run a can of BG 44K through the tank and be done with it. Same stuff your local dealer will use for 30, 60, 90k mile tune ups.
