Wish i knew this before spending $$$
in this video i will show Leaking Fuel Injection cleaning, most people will tell you to replace it
back in 2014, i had 2009 GMC Acadia and the dealer told me to replace the leaking fuel injectors and cost me close to $1000
but in todays video i will show you HOW TO clean GDI injections if its not sparing well or leaking fuel, and when you have that problem, you will ask ur self why is gas coming out of my exhaust
the injectors not sealing gas and it leaks into the cylinder and comes out from the exhaust

Man.... Dealership's are gonna hate you for this one !
Great tip !
👍😉
I know 😅
This is hardly anything new. There is an entire industry doing this. This just shows that it can be done "at home" 👍👍
@@AliMECH haha , we actually don't hate it, andI like your videos. 😁
You should go look at how to get those Direct Injectors in and out before you think that this is really DIY. They are NOT easily removed and installed like port injectors.
Yeppers! ANd it keeps perfectly good injectors out the landfill!
I highly recommend also changing the seals/o-rings every time you take a direct injector out.
Yes good idea
Are they available for sale those seals/O-rings from manufacturer if so where can they be bought at ??
I was literally going to ask that!
I've found kits at local parts houses with various common o ring sizes for AC components (green), I think they have fuel kits too.
The addition of ethanol into gasoline now a days makes using OEM O-rings and gaskets even more important, as ethanol is known to corrode rubber components.
Two quick ultrasonic cleaning tips:
>Put the injector inside a small plastic bag and fill the bag with the cleaning fluid. Then fill the ultrasonic cleaner full of water and it the bag in the water, means you don't have to fill the ultrasonic cleaner full of cleaning liquid.
>Never put metal directly on the bottom of the ultrasonic cleaner, it can damage both parts, a think sheet of plastic or paper is enough. Look at the more expensive ultrasonic cleaners and you'll see they have cages to stop objects sitting on the bottom.
Thanks for the tip 👍
Not specific enough instructions ended up getting my balls stuck under the spare wheel in the boot of car
I use a similar method but just use a jam jar or suspend the part in a tin which has cleaning liquid in whilst the USC has water in it
Ya that's not why the mesh is there. And resting on the bottom isn't bad for them. You just want to decouple it.
Webb0y that is absolutely GOOD advice to those who have brains.
a single puff of smoke from the tail pipe thats only there upon first startup is also a leaking nozzle/fuel injector because when you shut it off at night it drips all through the night into the cylinder untill the fuel rail pressure subsides, and makes a pool of gas on the piston top that turns into that puff of smoke when you start it up the next day
Thank you my brother for posting this video because we asked you about how to clean gdi injectors
It shows how a great person you are and how you care about helping people
Really appreciate you brother
You are welcome, glad i can help, i will definitely try my best and do video when you guys ask
My sentiments exactly. This worked perfectly on my Jeep. Thank you so much.
Mq where u from bro
Perfectly safe as well. I was an Electronics Engineering Tech. We used ultrasonic liquid cleaning for military grade electronic components during the manufacturing process. This cleaning process was required by our contracts with the Aviation companies that were our customers.
Even if we don't do it, it's still so good to watch with satisfaction and learn from your videos👍
lol, Thank you so much
A cheap way to clean injectors out is to soak the nozzles in a small cup of injector cleaner. Let them soak for an hour or more if they are nasty. If they are dirty it usually turns the fluid in the cup orange. Once done spray off the nozzle with some parts cleaner spray.
I have used Injector Repair LLC in upstate NY and he charges less than $20 US dollars for ultrasonic cleaning, changes O rings, seal and screens and give a full test sheet with dynamic and static testing, Brought the 4 Bosch Injectors on my Porsche 944 back to factory spec.
Years ago I attached a long hose to an injector, filled it with seafoam, pressurized it and applied intermittent power to the injector. Worked great. If you don't have an ultrasonic cleaner it might be worth a try.
This is such a great idea, a game changer actually! Why haven’t I added an ultrasonic cleaner to my tool kit? Great job sir, thanks!
Thanks for watching, glad it was helpful
I sure will be adding an ultrasonic cleaner to mine! Thanks, so obvious, yet I never thought of running the mode 4 tester while in the shaky bath. I’ve already got an injector tester similar to yours, but I have Toyota connectors spliced in with the original spade leads.
First time I've seen ultra sonic cleaning for fuel injectors. Looking great!
Thank you!
This is why at the dealer I work at, we recommend a fuel injection cleaning every 30k miles, and its $130. We do 2 separate services depending on if ir vehicle is direct injected or port injected
I’m watching this thinking the tools used in the video cost as much as a new injector. Man was I wrong! I might order these. Thanks for the upload 👍
Glad I could help
Yeah, then times that by the number of cylinders.
I have 2 ultrasonic cleaners and I use them on a wide variety of things. They are great for removing rust if you use vinegar. That is good to know.
Nice video works like a charm we as consumers should do more things like this to lessen waste
Yes it does! Thanks for watching
I use the sonic machine all the time, on any small parts, it cleans like magic, I do alot of motorcycle repair and especially carburetors, my tank is small so so I pull.the float bowls and sometimes have flip the carb and half at a time, I got at harbor freight, about 100$, mine heats up and I use water and dawn dish soap, I also do 3 or 4 cycles, yes i use water and dawn dish soap, about a couple good squirts per tank, its gets dirty fast, but work fantastic, a great to have for every mechanic, and and very nice video, short, sweet, and informative
You cannot set metal directly on the bottom of the ultrasonic cleaner, that reflects the energy back into the transducer and you will destroy it. You need to use something to act as a spacer a little plastic tray works great.
My friend turn the injector where its front part is facing down into the liquid so the sonic waves can go up in the little holes that are clogged. You are just laying it on its side and if u clean it also like i pointed out it will allow those holes to really get clean. Just tryin to help.
Great job. Never thought about using an ultrasonic cleaner. Seafoam, yes. I just run a couple of cans in half a tank of fuel from time to time for that concentrated effect. I use my car for fleet work. ( 6 hours plus a day )
That cleaner is hard on the rubber, you should remove the gaskets from the injector before throwing them in, also would be ideal to put a piece of plastic between the bottom of the ultrasonic cleaner and the metal part of the injector.
On aircraft engines, we would soak the injectors in Hoppes No. 9 gun cleaner, then blow them out. Usually ran great after that!
Good to know!
Nice. It's satisfying to see after spraying pattern.
Yes it's 👌
Brilliant! Used the Ultrasonic bath for cleaning small parts years ago, it does work! Thanks for the video Ali.
Yes it does! thanks for watching
I clean carburetors the same way now. I don’t bother taking them apart anymore. Just ultrasonic bath in solvent.
I have an otc canister injector cleaner. I disable the fuel pump and let the car run only on otc injector cleaner, this has worked well.
I have clean with carb cleaner only for last 10 years. No any issues.
great
Thank you very much ,I'm sold 😮
You’re welcome
I'm glad it worked for you. I've sometimes caused fuel injectors to start leaking (aka ruined) by ultrasonically cleaning them on the proper injector machine. Don't know why but it's happened a few times now.
If they have rust inside the nozzles the ultrasonic will remove the rust and then they will leak. I've had this happen several times on injectors that were sitting in a car that wasn't in use for a few years.
Just get them replaced. These Acadia are known for poor fuel injectors. They leak. I always replace them as they will damage the catalyst if not replaced sooner
Good video. To save cleaning agent, first put part in zip bag together with minimum amount of cleaning agent. Then fill ultrasound bath with ordinary water and put bag in it.
Or build your own tester with a 555 timer, a transistor, a diode, a few resistors and capacitors and a relay.
Yes, that's what I was thinking, too.
So smart, using the ultrasonic cleaner!! Im about to get a bump in MPGs
Years ago I had a shop tell me they would cleaner my injectors. They are just a solenoid or coil alot of times you can energize them and just spray some sort of solvent through it. I tried it on a hunch and it cleaned them right up but the ultrasonic cleaner is probably more thorough.
Yes exactly, it helps a lot
You just energize it and spray into the back of it? It's really that easy?
@@amarsta do not over do it with the voltage. You'll have to look up what it is. I think I used a 9 volt battery on mine. It was a long time ago. I don't think a lot of them run a full 12 volts. Which will actually be like 13-14 volts with a good car battery.
you are one of the best mechanics in the youtube 👌🔥
Appreciate that
We recondition diesel and petrol injectors. .we have heated ultrasonic cleaners for the petrol injector cleaning 80 degrees Celsius for 2 hours. Job done.
Thank you for the knowledge, and the items that you used to clean these expensive parts.
Glad to help
Thanks again for this second video on cleaning fuel injectors, I watched original video.
Thanks for watching
I liked the pace of the video. Thank you for adding a tool to my mental tool belt!
can i use fuel system cleaner like bg k44 as acleaner? cause i don't have this cleaners in my country,??!
yes, you can
Those who dont want clogged injectors, replace fuel filter when it's time.
Unfortunately my BMW X1 Diesel fuel filter was never replaced under the maintenance plan! The first time it was replaced was when I took it to a after motorplan service centre. It still had the manufacturing date on.
Cars haven't had fuel filters in a long time.
@@stuartbear922
I know.
Back in the day, engines were made from premium quality steel.
Now they are made of plastic.
Pour bad full into it, say byebye
Go get yourself a can of Berrymans B12 Chem tool. In fact run five or six cans real they’re less than three dollars a can on Amazon
That's great! Thanks for the information. I have a Honda with over 200,000 miles. There doesn't seem to be a problem but maybe I'll pull them out and clean them anyway. I just have to get an fuel injector tester.
Thanks, that's great
If it ain’t broke don’t “ fix it”
As borkganza says, if it runs good, do nothing.
The biggest problem you have with cars that are not a daily car and are parked long.
The ethanol in the fuel cloggs the injectors.
You just destroyed wasteful sale of new parts.... Right to repair is very important for the environment too. Great video.
Yes, thanks
Good video, BUT a tip. Put the cleaning agent and the injector in a bag. Then fill the ultra sonic cleaner with water. Now You put the bag with the injector in the water. This way you can use far less cleaning agents,
replacing your fuel filter often and using quality fuel seems better. I have 2 2005ish ford focus at about 170k and never touched the injectors. Just Filter occasionally and some MMO occasionally. I'm in a dry climate. Wet and Salty climates might have more fuel issues.
Have you ran diagnostics to see if they are still running to spec? I would imagine they are not, but I am a firm believer of if it ain't broke dont fix it. So I am with u on the filters and fuel
I've never had injector issues either. For the past 20 years, I've used Techron with every oil change
Fuel filters? They went away about 20 years ago. None of my cars have a replacement filter. Just the mesh filter on the fuel pump.
@@stuartbear922 at least up till 2007 focus has a filter canister. GM was the major culprit
Did u ohm out the injectors prior to cleaning?
Run Shell 93 and techron and it will clear up most symptoms in one tank full. Amazing actually.
Yes, but you can't find it everywhere
😮
Where can one purchase these items
You can make a splitter so you can connect 2 injectors at a time.
the tester can only power up on injector, i tried 2 injectors, but it didn't open them up
Sometimes you geht the same result by using e85 for a while . I tried in my 100000mls Porsche, the injectors, the combustion chambers and the spark plugs looked like after 2000mls
You're saying the e85 cleaned them all up?
Ultrasonic cleaners were first introduced to clean endoscopic surgical instruments, and then jewellery and now this, my suggestion is why not get a bigger ultrasonic bath and clean a catalytic converter with diesel & petrol.
Brilliant idea of combining the two items. Ultrasonic ands injector pulser! Thank you !
Yes it was, thanks for watching
ecellent. thank you very much. this might save my beloved Hiace van
Glad to help
Are these GDI injectors ?
Am I the only person who never taken an injector out or even knew it was possible. I think this is over my head mechanically
I’m not a master mechanic, have only worked on a few cars. But extensively on each. And fully self-taught (youtube). Pulling injectors is not hard. It’s just removing a decently long series of bolts and following a service manual. If you can change your brakes or something else simple for example, you can do this job.
Sweet video! I bought a multi injector clearer and will make videos soon, but this was pretty cool.
Cool, thanks!
Te faltó cambiar los filtros que vienen adentro del inyector.... Y para que el líquido limpiador te alcance podías poner algún recipiente con agua adentro del ultrasonido para no tener que usar tanto líquido
Excellent information. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for watching
brilliant idea
economical
no waste
going to the
salvage/
scrap yard
🤗👍
Молодец! Я не знал, что бывают такие тестеры. Спасибо! Нечто подобное можно проелывать с дизельным commonrail.
I dont recommend doing on car injector cleaning, my very first car, I got this done, all good, but when I leave my car for a few hours, it had trouble starting, but after a cranking for a while and the battery doesn't die out, the car will start fine. Turn it off, and it will start again fine.
Now if I left it overnight, it will not start in the mornings, battery will die trying to start, if I hook up a jump starter or hook it up to another cars battery, keep cranking and it will eventually start.
Mechanic didnt know what was wrong and they had my car for a week.
Long stoey short, the on car injector cleaning caused the issue, there was no way to test the injectors if they were leaking, because of the fuel pressure, fuel leaked onto my spark plugs making them wet and couldn't get spark. Injectors removed, I had 4 leaking injectors out of the 6.
Get your injectors cleaned outside of the car, then they have the ability to test for flow and leakage, this will save you alot of headache.
Super common, the pros have been doing this for a long time. You can use isopropyl to clean as well...
u can just put another bigger object to make more volume inside the cup
Thank you for your videos...
I think after replacing many parts, sensors and miscellaneous costs...far too much money.
Its the fuel injectors...
So got o ring repair kit, and some cheaper injectors to swap out incase there cracked.
Either way you have been helpful and ive learned a lot.
Wish me luck...its been a painful game of wack a mole.
Glad it was helpful, hope it will be working for you as it did for me
Another great video thanks bro 👍have a good day from Morocco ^-^
Thanks for watching
@@AliMECH you're very welcome 👍
I clean DPF cooler with ultrasonic tool. Excellent job and cheap as well
Thanks for watching
as usual, i hit like button before i watch the video.
fav channel of me
Thanks
Dear friend, good video, may Allah give you more progress, always be happy,,,
Thanks brother
WOW i have same experience like you. spend money for buy new injector for they cant clean it. this is new idea will save money.
Thats awesome, Glad it helped
You taught me so much. Thanks dood. Love your accent.
Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching
Awesome DIY educational video. 👍. Thank you!
Thank you too
Helloo thank you for this amazing video, but how a leaking injector stop leaking after cleaning it ?
ultrasonic will clean the partials inside the injector that stop the solenoid from not closing and leaking
I like to use Lucas oil fuel injector cleaner. Like one little cap full every 2 or 3 gas tanks keeps them nice and clean.
do you think those cleaners and the ultrasonic method would be good for cleaning all kinds of sensors ?
o2 sensor comes to mind at the moment.
Very nice work thank you for the information
Can you do the arabic translation feature and thank you
I will try
Alot of cleaners have alcohol dont want that to ruin the seals ... Gumout has (pea) in it works great and lucas too
can you try cleaning windshield spray nozzles with the ultrasonic cleaner please?
yes i will keep that in mine and try
My engine started to misfire and I was told by my dealer to add chevron fuel system cleaner and it worked. They said sometimes the injectors can become dirty and that this can work and sure enough it did.
I've used Techron for the past 20 years and never had an injector or fuel pump issue.
Can you do the honda civic 10th gen? One of Honda’s notes were the fuel injectors cannot be cleaned and must be replaced.
i will try
good work
thanks
Priceless! Great job thinking outside the box.
Thank you! Cheers!
Something else, on some vehicles, they have a valve to attach a supply line for cleaner. Where run straight cleaner through.
I use marvel mystery oil in the gas for 5 or 6 subsequent gas tanks. Works well
Excellent tip, thank you.
You're welcome!
Try crtc direct injector cleaner and marval mystery oil.....
How cool is this ! your fantastic
Thanks Bobby
BEAUTIFUL..well done..excellent
Innovation..PEACE SALAAM SHALOM..
Thank you very much
Absolutely Amazing ✅ Thank You So Much I really appreciate it. Take Care My Friend
Thanks, you are welcome 🙏
Genius! Love it, man. Thanks 👍
Glad to help!
My pd105 needs an overhaul. I've replaced many parts, but haven't opened the engine up yet.
I just run sea foam in the fuel tank every oil change. Never have had to change an injector on any car in 30 years. Oil change put half a can in the engine before you change your oil, the rest in the fuel tank been doi g that since the mid 1990's, works for me and is 10 bucks.
I would love to know how you have hooked up fuel source to the injectors
It is not fuel being sprayed for testing in the video. But the cleaner fluid which is about the same consistency when sprayed with fuel.
Thank you for your videos its amazing where are you from?
iraq/spain
Apparently there's a seating issue for it to drip afterwards. Which looks like you got it right, running a pure solvent through. The Sonic device?? I do not know much.
But just a note that might be of benefit. Note car engines used to be a cast iron, where now any number are aluminum. But after many miles on older cars, a car would get carbon build up on the cylinder heads, which would make the car run rough, difficult to start, etc. But, what some would do is get car warmed up, then some would choke off top radiator hose so engine would run hot, then they'd have ahold of the throttle rev engine up and pour water into intake. I know for a fact this works as I sunk a car. Not intentionally! Drain the water from crankcase, pull sparkplugs roll engine over, water shot out about 10'. Sprayed WD-40 down carburetor and into cylinders, which it removes water. Put plugs back in,Fill crankcase with new oil. She purred like a kitten like coming off showroom floor.
Now I never heard of it, but some have said that some have had cracked the block doing this. As a whole, I do not believe it was a problem as many used it.
It's my understanding that the water is cool relative to the engine, so it contacts the surface of the metal surface which shrinks in response to cooling, where the carbon does not, so breaks off and gets blown out exhaust.
New aluminum engines????? I do not know how they'd respond.
Try once a year adding 1 quart of ATF to 10 gallons of gas. The detergent in any ATF is one of the most powerful known to man and will clean anything. I've used it for years and I have never had a bad fuel injector.
I've never used it and I've never had a bad fuel injector.
Transmission fluid?? 😂
Very usefully tips you can clean any fuel injector if you know how it not hard to do.
AMSOIL has an amazing cleaner that works within 1 tank full
Great video thanks for the info 👍 😀 👌
thanks
Hello there . Question for you mr Ali or any tech out there what if I took the car to a tech and he cleaned the injectors but even though it regained part of its hp but still I smell raw gas when starting it or driving it . I took it to another technician who said after doing ultrasonic that i had a faulty injector . After watching your video im wondering if i poured like four bottles of injector’s cleaners in a half full tank , could it fix my fuel leaking ??
Or im wasting time. Point is I couldn’t find new injectors and hesitant to buy used ones but I may need to swallow it at the end if nothing helped .
Another technician said to try ethanol in gas tank !
You could have put something that sinks and takes up the displacement instead of adding more solvent
Merci beaucoup tu m'as sauvé la vie et mon argent
