Fuel Injector Tester / Cleaner Kit?

[SSTJ]

My injectors are removed at the moment. Figure I should test them or perhaps clean them before I put them back in. They are originals with about 100k miles on them over the past 25 years.

I see some cheap kits online. Anyone ever use these, and have any feedback on whether they're worth the effort?

Example here.

I wonder if the spray cans put out a pressure comparable to the fuel pump, and whether that matters.

Maybe just an additive to clean? Several options. I've only done a bottle treatment.

Legit Street Cars hawks one on his YouTube channel all the time...looked decent and affordable.

I can’t vouch because I haven’t needed injector service, but have read good things about Mr Injector.

Thanks. I'm not even sure they need to be cleaned. But I already have them removed, so thought I'd see whether there are any simple and inexpensive ways to see if they still spray well under some kind of pulse test.

That's a big jump from the $30 one that I was asking about!

Interesting. I didn't know there were places you could send them off to.

 

[SSTJ]

So has anyone used one of these cheap kits that I linked above, and have any feedback?

 

[SSTJ]

@JKP have you ever used one of these?

I have used WitchHunter Performance in the past for some of my other project cars.

This topic reminds me of a clip I saw of the Hoonigan boys playing around with injectors the other day. Maybe keep in mind sparks and vicinity to gas/aerosol cleaners though. Not saying this is a good cleaning by any means, but if you need to get one working now or try to diagnose a problem in a pinch...

No, I just replaced the OEM ones with rebuilt Bosch ones.
