How To Clean Fuel Injectors

Today we talk fuel injectors! As part of my rebuild project I had the fuel rail and injectors out so I decided to uninstall them and clean them before reinstall. Below you will find a link to the cleaner I used and be sure to drop any questions you have in the comments below. Thanks for watching!

Good guide. But remember that if you got a newer car you need to place the injectors where you removed them or reprogram the cars computer.

Bro thanks for the video. Had a bad feeling about this shop talking about replacing basically my whole fuel system as they knew I didn’t know much about cars. But saw your method and thought wouldn’t hurt trying it out before spending the 800 bucks they quoted me. Needless to say my car is running and feeling like it’s new again. I had an engine light on after doing this cleaning code is gone hasn’t came back and you literally saved me 800 dollars. Thanks much my guy

Thanks for providing the principle of fuel injector cleaning, in the past I replaced all for new ones

Also good to try and spray the cleaner before pulsing to check if you have a leaking injector, nothing should spray or drip without power being added. Thanks for the video.

I remember cleaning mechanical injectors on my old Mercedes. Always did it with diesel, or at least the final rinse. Good cleaning agent, lubrication and no fire hazard while testing spray patterns.

Stumbled on your channel, like the way you present things, subbed!.

[thomasduffy]

Well explained, has going to be doing mine, been looking through various sites, clarity 10 out of 10,

I remember I did this, and the pressure made the Injector flew out of the tube and Carb Cleaner sprayed right in my right eye 😂😂😂 I stumbled my way to the faucet. And my eye was red and slightly blurred for the next few days 😂😂😂

Glad to see a new video. Cool seeing you in CO!

Want to try this on my 2000 GMC Sierra. It’s got over 300k on the dash with original injectors

[greasemonkey]

Do the injectors for the Xterra and Pathfinders 4.0l 6cyl have a filter?

[mikemorgan]

That was interesting. Had not seen that procedure before.

[BeADad]

Thanks car dude! Excellent! Thanks for sharing our knowledge

[igotstoknow]

Missed a step: Reverse clean to force dirt out of the injector filter (fuel rail side).

[Seriouslee]

Can connecting power directly from the 12v source to the injector cause damage to them?

[pisanu]

When carrying out cleaning, it is essential to plug the various pipes in the circuit (of fuel injector) I don’t know what these pipes are and what they are used for. Can anyone help explain this. Thank you so much.

[williamkummer]

Hey Ry, is it necessary to clean the fuel injectors as well if running a pressurized cleaner through the manifold?

[genericdude]

How do you remove the fuel line from the fuel rail on a 2014 Xterra. None of my disconnect tools will get it off. I've tried 5/16 and 3/8. None of my disconnects are metric.

[butchgreene]

I'm getting a P0303 on my 2005 Xterra at 217k miles and reading in thenewx forums, more than one guy has indicated a failed injector on cylinder 3. If it is, is there a test I can do to know it's the injector after I try swapping #2 & #3 coil packs to test for that simple fix? And is there a way to run any sort of cleaner into my injectors that might clean them out and avoid me having to dig into them?
