High Tech Tool

Just learned this little trick from an ol'raod racer named Cal Showket. Years back, he was owner/driver of the the Dodge factory team when they were runnin' hell outa them little Colt's! My '87 IROC suddenly began idling rough, and power was down, like it had dropped a cylinder. Brought it home, and "rubbed" the base of eaach injector with an engraving tool at it's lowest setting. Presto! The idle smoothed out immediately, and the power was back. Introducing the high vibration of the tool emulsified whatever piece of grit had clogged the injector. Worked like a charm! Had to post this 'cuz I've received so much help from you guys in the past.
