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 ❤.
Good evening and happiness you are cleaning the sprays with your beautiful style Thank you for this wonderful information Oh ok Worked to clean the survivors 👌But I change the filter sprays better
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!
Nice . Bought the little kit that’s on Amazon didn’t like the adapter that goes over the can leaks a lot this looks a lot better even gonna buy me a switch and do it this way . Thank you ❤❤
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
The technique is basically the same in injector cleaning, it's the approach that makes it individual. So guys, Note the technique, the rest is what makes you "happy".
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Hehehehehe, good Video. Another EASY way.... My Dad fill a Line Tube about 4" with Fuel Injector Cleaning Fluid and plug that into an Air Compressor. He connect the Positive and Negative like this Video and just BLOW it right through until the 4" Liquid is Empty, that was it... Took him like 10 Minutes most :D
yes TY. I seen a guy use a double A battery on one, But it wasn't working for me for some reason. I was worried about hooking up direct to the car battery like you did, Because I didn't know if it would be to strong or not. Appreciate the upload man and info.
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.
The 703 injectors are the same calibration as the stock xj... Thats why its a popular upgrade... It has four injection holes instead of the 1 in the stock injectors.
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.
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.
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.
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. :)
@fmmsss no gas will not clean them you will need them to turn on and off to be able to clean them you can try to soak them in carb cleaner but it may eat through the plastic caseing if left to soak
@parvizsoccer No special current rating on the switch, and you can use whatever you want as long as you make contact with the injector. Yes, 12VDC battery.
I got the syringe from Petsmart I believe. I had to go to a few places to find one. Yes carb cleaner is ok to use. It's a cleaner and is just to clean out any deposits in the injector. I've done this mod/cleaning on my '98 XJ Cherokee, and it runs great.
Set of 8 new bosch injectors on ebay is $120... They are made with 4 nozzles and atomize fuel better... Not sure if there's any sense to cleaning junkyard injectors. BUT a good video and the idea mate!
I need to know if there's actually any difference in performance before and after the cleaning. Great video tho. Will try that soon. I'll try to make a video on before and after, and if I see any difference in gas color I'll post it for yall.
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
That spray pattern looked perfect. What "error" are you talking about? Are you talking about doing a leak down? That would be a separate video, if done at all after a cleaning.
honestly a common consumer with reliability in mind would replace with oem replacment injectors. Easier, cleaner and gives you a level up in your cars maintenance. just saying :p
By doing all that, I will have more pressure in the cylinders, so I can adjust the air-fuel ratio and by doing so, I can reduce the fuel consumption :)

Damn great idea !! Aerosol can's have actualy about the same pressure as a fuel line too ! will keep this in mind. Thank a lot :)

very clever contraption ,best one so far on the tube. Good work, appreciated.

Great vid, I can clean the injectors professionally without the hassle. Good job, and commentary.
I like this, I like this a lot. I wouldn't do it on my daily driver but looks it's perfect like a DIY project for a beater.
Pretty cool technique you have going there. Thumbs up.
The technique is basically the same in injector cleaning, it's the approach that makes it individual. So guys, Note the technique, the rest is what makes you "happy".
"Damnitt!!" 😂😂 Really hilarious
But seriously, great video very informative I'm going to use this for practical purposes!
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
Thanks for sharing this video. I got a car that's set 10yrs that has some gummed up injectors.

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.
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.
That was real easy,, well is how you made it look like,, ,, thx bro , nice video!
Never thought of cleaning the injectors awesome video!!
Nice
very clever congrats,,everything is easy ,just the part with the connector but a couple of aligator directly to the pins be no problem.cheers
Worked great. I used a 9v battery instead and it worked just fine... Thanks for the vid
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

Thats about the coolest thing I've seen in a while
yes TY. I seen a guy use a double A battery on one, But it wasn't working for me for some reason. I was worried about hooking up direct to the car battery like you did, Because I didn't know if it would be to strong or not. Appreciate the upload man and info.
if anyone is thinking about doing this, don't use carb cleaner, use fuel injector cleaner, same spray can, its not damaging to plastics and rubbers.
This was a good video. I like this method because it a also tests the fuel injectors as well! Keep up the good work.
Don't forget protective glasses, it may not seem but there is a bit of a pressure and those connections enjoy breaking free.

Sometimes you need to be an octopus, in the land of DIY makeshift maintenance.
The 703 injectors are the same calibration as the stock xj... Thats why its a popular upgrade... It has four injection holes instead of the 1 in the stock injectors.
lucas works well. i have used it for many things.
Sir, have you used your Injector after cleaning? And working properly?
Charlie Sheen just taught me how to diy clean injectors
The button is a great idea.
Tu eres un ingeniero con mucha experiencia pero sin titulo.
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.
That was a great job you must have put quite a bit of time in on perfecting this. Thanks.
NIce! This kind of improvise material is genius. Thanks for sharing it. Keep it up!
Awesome! I got a Chrysler Cirrus (virtually the same as the Breeze) so this video may in fact come in handy in the future!
great setup they were cleaned
I did this about a year ago after watching this video. Thanks for the idea!
Nice job. Very good camera work and presentation!
Smart method!!!
I will also do that with my D-Jetronic system! (Will need 3 Volt source for the old
D Jetronic Injectors --- not 12 Volts)
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.

I've found Berryman's carb/injector cleaner works best, imo.
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.
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.

mann that is Great stuff !!! might try that myself fella!!! Keep up the good work!!! and Thanks for this Tut!!!
LMAO, I kept laughing everytime he would say "damn it"
thats the same way i cleaned my injectors too.... works pretty well .. i used wd40 worked very well too but carbcleaner cleans more/better for sure
Great video, Simple and Effective..
Thanks!! To think I was about to buy a new set of injectors..... :-)
A camera tripod would be very nice to have
Clean set up bro great video
New title:
Fuel injector cleaning (Damnit!)
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).

great video...We are fed up with mechanics make their life easy replace everything and rip off. many thanks Mr. Robguitargod1
this is a great vid, i have never thought of cleaning a fuel injector that way!!! looks like it works very well, :-)

Very good video !
how many volts is the battery?
very nice video
nice i go to UTI and that is the same thing we do with the $5500 injector cleaner
Hi..Good vid instructable, very helpful for my first injection engine service :D Thank you for this share...
Bastante ingenioso porque elimina el uso de un pulsador de inyectores y de la boya ó de una bomba de combustile . Gracias por el aporte .
Set of 8 new bosch injectors on ebay is $120... They are made with 4 nozzles and atomize fuel better... Not sure if there's any sense to cleaning junkyard injectors. BUT a good video and the idea mate!
Men you have such a good video and so so many hits that you should be getting payed by you tube! your volume is making them money babe!!
I recommend using protec autocare for fuel injector cleaner, it also cleans the entire fuel system without having to remove anything.
your advertising bullshit out of here
Power Stroker
Sorry. Get your advertising bullshit out of here
very good real subject video
Thanks man, that's exactly what I was wondering about, I'll use a can to make it pressurized!
Never seen it done BACKWARDS
At 5:38 you see trash as he is adding more cleaner and it is sucked right back into injector.
u r amazingly creative.. thanks so much for the tips
Good idea with the syringe. Something I’ll try.
I need to know if there's actually any difference in performance before and after the cleaning. Great video tho. Will try that soon. I'll try to make a video on before and after, and if I see any difference in gas color I'll post it for yall.
Nice job on the video
@Carfixing101 yes but his way is cleaner as most hose is crap but new efi hose an old fuel pump +cleaner +copper hose for a permanent rig
thanks for unveiling the misteries of the injector clean
looks like an opportunity to sell a home injector cleaning kit
yeah you need pressure, there is like a 2mm hole or some crap that the fuel comes out of, without pressure it wont do anything
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 :)
This is also like the third video I've seen in a row where the cammer drops something and says Dammit! lol
Dude, that was really creative.... thanks for making this clip :-)
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
we love u superman but do not tell batman ok
That spray pattern looked perfect. What "error" are you talking about? Are you talking about doing a leak down? That would be a separate video, if done at all after a cleaning.
Never heard of anyone cutting a o ring but watching not to tare it 😂🤣
because of this video, you kept my stupid friend from swapping his motor lmfao
😂😂
gracias por el video ,thanks for the video
honestly a common consumer with reliability in mind would replace with oem replacment injectors. Easier, cleaner and gives you a level up in your cars maintenance. just saying :p
"Damn It" ............ excellent vid. Thanks!!
No one saw the black thing floating in the tube at 5:33 ? I think you just pushed a big chunk of dirt in there.
1 CC = cubic centimeter = 1 milliliter (volume/displacement measure)
Good way to fry an injector they an injector only uses 5 volts
Thanks dude will try it but with 5 v. Good video and well explain.
By doing all that, I will have more pressure in the cylinders, so I can adjust the air-fuel ratio and by doing so, I can reduce the fuel consumption :)
Oh its cool, he used new O rings
ooo damn that is a nice mist spray. nice job!
Berryman b12 chem tool. Would be an excellent solvent to use.
