Are you suspecting dirty injectors? From what I've experienced, cleaners used after the injectors are clogging are seldom "saved" by cleaners in a bottle. Still. it may be worth a shot or two before pulling the injectors for a real cleaning.

I've heard that Techron is decent. Avoid anything with methanol, regardless of what product you choose.
