What do you do to clean the injectors once they are removed? Is it just cleaning up the exterior or is there some way of running cleaner through the inside?
Once you remove them you're able to spray carb cleaner into the part that goes inside the fuel rail. You can also spray and clean the bottom part that goes into the intake manifold. In my case the tips were fouled worse than I expected, given the jeep only has 103K on it. After cleaning, it now idles smoothly, with no stumbling.

I should also mention that I use a piece of vacuum hose, adapted to a shop vacuum, to clean debris from around the injector intake ports. Then I use alcohol and Q Tips to clean the carbon buildup on each port. This helps make sure the new O-rings seal properly.
Dude, you can eat off of everything you work on….
Part of it is nothing more than pride in work, but you both know this! I just wish others shared the same sentiment. While I was doing the job I found the following:
I think they are called grommets. If I recall correctly, that’s what the Fel-pro packaging called it when I replaced my gasket.Part of it is nothing more than pride in work, but you both know this! I just wish others shared the same sentiment. While I was doing the job I found the following:
- Driver side radiator seal was missing (This is the rubber piece that connects to the fender and grill)
- Three of the metal hats that the valve cover bolts get inserted into (not sure what they're actually called) are missing and just had washers sitting on top of the rubber seal
- Plastic Cover on the wiring harness for the fuel rail is broken
- PCV elbows had been replaced, but both were the large orifice openings (one is supposed to be small, one large)
- Ground strap on the back of the engine was not connected and the nut was missing
I fixed the PCV elbows, radiator seal, and ground strap, but still have to source the:
- plastic cover for the injector harness
- three valve cover bolt hats (seen in the picture)

Yes, she had work done that I hope she didn't pay for!
I knew, well, was at least confident, what the problem was. Especially, after you told me the plugs were changed. You'd be happy, it runs so much better. It does need a bath though!
