Is there a better way to clean Injectors?
Is there a better way to clean the injectors on a TBI system other than pouring something in the tank? Can I pull them off the TB and flush them with something or is there a posability of damaging them by doing it this way?

dont bother
the injectors used in tbi's are self cleaning so a little bottle in the gas tank is more than enough.if you want you can get a can of carb cleaner and while the engine is running spray a little bit in there to clean the outside and top but dont go crazy,you dont need the outside tha clean

Get the Chevron fuel injector cleaner and change your fuel filter before you dump the stuff in. It will dissolve most any deposit in your fuel system.

Well... you could do what i did. Use an ultrasonic cleaner and some fuel system cleaner and pulse them for about 20 mins. I only had to do this b/c the preveous owner had the timing all fouled up and it backfired through the tbi for a while b/f i got it
