Fuel Injector Cleaner
 
The cars been giving me alot of greef latley becuase it has become quite the gas guzzler. Ive got planes to get a cai and new plugs, but would also like to clean out the fuel injectors.

I was readin the back of the bottle and it says it will
improve milage (need it),
reduce hard start (also a problem),
and smooth rough ideling (I like my rough idle damit makes the car sound mean)

I always take my car to the local car wash to get the oil changed, I dont think they ever ran a bottle of injector cleaner through, and I defently have not.

So can anyone recomend some strong/good fuel injecotr cleaner that they have had succsess with in the past?

Futhermore how often are you supoposed to change the fuel filter. I dont think this was ever done either. :dunce: Ive been bad to the car.

fuel filter should be replaced every 30K miles or sooner. You can never change filters too often.

Also, I would NEVER add injector cleaner into an old fuel filter....replace the filter and use a can of BG's 44K on Berryman's Chemtool in the gas tank. both are real good.

Yeah - it is supposed to be good for the life of the car - it certainly is not in the scheduled maint!

Fuel inj cleaner won't hurt anything - but check plugs/wires also.
