    Hi there. I used this same principle to clean all the fuel injectors on my 2008 Hyundai Tucson. This was a very economical and effective way to perform a DIY. The whole project cost me about US$30. If I had taken this to the mechanic, It would have cost me much much more. Thanks for the vid.

    Nice way to do it!
    I did it another way using compressed air, and a short length of fuel line.
    I used a 12V battery charger to power the injector, but most automatic types they make these days won't do it. However a 6 to 12 Volt plug in adapter will work. To my knowledge injectors actually run at about 5 to 6 volts anyway.
    Nice vid :)

    Great video, I'm from France and here garage don't reapare the injectors they just change them for 1200€😂😂😂 (you read well 1200€). With your technic, it has costed me 35€. Thanks you bro ❤.

    Dear Robguitargod1! Thank you very much for share this video!!! Nobody knows what is the problem with my car. When I started the engine for 5 secound does not worked all of the cylinders, it was a little bit weak, and the gasreaction was too too slow... In the service told me the guy, my injection heads are good. I just try your way and the car will been smooth, start immediatelly, stronger, sharper. It will been a better car. So thank you very much again and sorry for my weak english. Regards

    Injectors operate on 5 volts. !2 volts is way too much, thats why you hear the pintel moving so violently. The coil wires are about as thick as a strand of spiders web. Very helpful video.

    Hey what I found that worked really great was a little bubbles that you buy to shut off a vacuum line a little hose clamp I put a hole real tiny in top of the bubble cut the straw off of the spray can at an angle shoved it through the hole no leaks and had the pressure

    Glad I found this! This is a well put together video; good sound, to-the-point direction, and decent camera work. Also, the set up for this system is quite clever, I can't wait to try it out. Replacing all the fuel injectors I have now is too expensive for me, so I'm trying to salvage what I can to reduce costs, and hopefully this will help. Fingers crossed!

  • @jfisk60903
    @jfisk60903 11 років тому +1

    Nice job, with one exception, you might have mentioned eye protection for the operation outlined, especially since you noted a bit of a mishap with the syringe coming off under pressure, but other than that I'm very impressed, enough so to try it myself..Cheers

  • @Peppermint1
    @Peppermint1 6 років тому

    Don't forget protective glasses, it may not seem but there is a bit of a pressure and those connections enjoy breaking free. Don't forget to back flush because that gives a flow from the opposite 'normal' direction. Install the injectors the same day, don't let them stay with that solvent overnight as it contains acetone and that can damage the injector. I use a small 9V battery by the way, plenty enough. Never use acetone or lacquer cleaner.

    genius method for practically free, thanks for sharing! I've considered using an ultrasonic cleaner, but I think this method would be perfectly sufficient, especially with reverse cleaning.

  • @ErikViktor
    @ErikViktor 10 років тому +1

    Great video and funny as well. Bet you're Canadian! Continue the good work. Beware of the high 12V on the injectors as they are more likely running on much lower voltage.

  • @Unlimited_Slip

  • @fifteenbyfive

    Beginning manifold vacuum hot: 13.5-14 inHg
    Added Seafoam to my gasoline. Took the car out on the highway for 5 miles out and 5 miles back, doing about 80mph in the far left lane in 4th gear most of the time.
    Back to the garage, Ending manifold vacuum hot: 17.5 inHg.
    WHY?
    Why did my fan belt start slipping immediately after I started the motor for the first time after adding Seafoam to my gas? I remember cringing at the noise it was making (not knowing what it was, it was different than the way loose belts normally sound because the belt was brand new), while at the same time marveling at how much better the engine's pickup was. Yes, it was the belt slipping on the pulley from the torquier motor and this was every time I put the throttle down. That belt was tight enough for the way the motor ran before Seafoam but not after.
    WHY?
    Seafoam gets blamed for causing noises under the hood after using it, and yeah it caused a noise under my hood too.
    You'll have to excuse my own anecdotal evidence that it works is good enough for me and deniers look like idiots I'm sorry to see. Does it work for everyone? Hell no. Is what's presented in this video far more comprehensive? Hell yes. I should pull the injectors on my car and inspect them and either have them professionally cleaned, or replace them outright.
    But if you're a random person with some carbon buildup who's too irreligious to buy a $7 can of Seafoam and try it first before belaboring yourself into hundreds or thousands of dollars of expense and hours of smelly and even dizzy work, I don't know what's wrong with you broski.

  • @MrGlassAnkles

    sweet setup with the syringe. i heard 9v is safer since ECU's are actually reducing the voltage to the injectors so its not a true 12v.

  • @Peppermint1
    @Peppermint1 6 років тому +1

    Don't forget to HAVE the basket filter installed when cleaning the injectors. Otherwise you will surely get debris inside from the rubber hoses used.

  • @asustech0079
    @asustech0079 10 років тому

    Nice idea, but I don't believe this simulates fuel rail pressure, I'm sure as long as the cleaners is running through the injector this should suffice though. I'd just make sure you have the good cleaner and not the junk generic crap that doesn't cut it. It should be easy to tell if it's working ok or not, if you first see dark spray coming out the injector when you first spay it, then keep spraying it until it's clear... I've found Berryman's carb/injector cleaner works best, imo.

  • @briansmobile1
    @briansmobile1 12 років тому +3

    Pretty cool technique you have going there. Thumbs up.

  • @TheMechanic2
    @TheMechanic2 10 років тому

    While I do not disagree that you may need to clean and injector from the junk yard because of fuel deterioration from sitting (stagnant and separated). Most injector failures and not from clogging any more. Most are from the breakdown of insulation in the injector from oxygenated fuel and less than robust design. Just as a side note it would be more beneficial to reverse flush the injector as much of the plugging that I have seen is particulate matter plugging the little screen going into the injector. Cleaning that will go much farther than the internal cleaning. :)

    Note: Gas Tank -> Fuel Pump -> Fuel Filter -> Injectors -> Spark Plug.
    -If you don't hear loud whining Fuel Pump your good. If hear a whine, that's a moderate job, use a manual and another vid.
    -More than 70k: Swap out Fuel Filter $5-50 (trust me this really helps and is easy)
    -Pop off Injectors (job 5 min or less depending on car, watch other videos) Clean using same or similar method in video (can use 9v battery and alligator clips)
    I start with fuel filter and then injector clean. BOOM done. You're welcome :)

    Where did you buy the fuel injector kit? I bought mines on Amazon but t doesnt have the nozzle with the button. Mines has the large and small plug with two white plastic spray nozzles you attach the back injector into the hole and hold the top slanted part of the white plastic part that has the slanted top on it if you know what I'm talking about yours has the cord with a button and the plastic nozzle for the back end and you can see the carb cleaner om out and spray it at your on will

    You may also be able to buy the injector electrical connector like I did for my '89 f150. Took a lot of talking on the phone but I finally found it at Auto Zone for about $6. Beats driving 45 minutes to the closest self-service junkyard, and paying a $2 entry fee just to find out they may not have the part you are looking for.

    I've a 1995 XJ with 232k miles. It has a slight miss at idle and barely gets by emissions, but runs fine once revved up. All new ignition parts except the coil. Might it be the injector? Why is the 703 a popular swap?

  • @robguitargod1

  • @125varma
    @125varma 12 років тому

    Hey, I'm planing to install an additional injector in the air intake of the engine and inject water-alcohol in it. I'm going to connect the new injector to the signal wire of one of car's own injectors, so that every time that injector receives a signal and sprayed fuel into the chamber, the new injector receives the same signal at the same time and inject water into the air intake. Do you think this will cause a power drop on the signal wire of the main injector? Sorry for my bad English...

  • @125varma
    @125varma 12 років тому

    I try to explain the best I can :) When you inject a mixture of alcohol and water into the chambers via air intake, it will cool the chamber, so you can have more air the cylinders. Also water will break to H and O2 when it reaches to 800 C. After the spark, the H and O2 will combine again and will produce superheated steam which is 2000 time more expandable than gasoline. So I wanna inject the mixture into he air intake via a fuel injector which is connected to a HP pump and a signal generator.

    What is the operating voltage for this fuel injector. Mine are operated by about 5 volts. I want to use this method but am concerned about the 12 volt battery and whether any damage will ocurr to the fuel injector coil.
