For TBI injectors use a light bulb such as an 1156 in series. This will limit the current so the injector doesn't fry. Note that without fuel flowing through the injector it will heat up quickly. So don't over do it unless there is fuel flowing to cool the injector.

I have used my otc 3398 works great, its not that much to have your injectors cleaned. You can also rig up a ecm power and ground and drp signal from a dizzy spun bye a drill. but dont apply a constant 12v unless you dont care about these injectors.

I was able to open them with two D batteries in series, which got me 3volts... does anyone know if you can just buy the pin hole sized fillters on each injector? And where?
