Well that's not really a tutorial, so-

1. Put all your injectors in a box
2. Send them to http://www.cruzinperformance.com



You could try cleaning them with one of those cleaner kits, but why bother, send them out and do it right. You could get a set of injectors from a junkyard car and send those out instead so you can keep driving your car in the meantime; Rich J tests each injector first so if you send him a broken one (from the junkyard car), he'll let you know.

An ultrasonic cleaner with fuel injector cleaner or alcohol in it and power source to open and close the injectors. (half wave rectified 12VAC form a power transformer would work I think)
That is what I am going to do.

If you do not want to send them to cruzin, just pour a bottle of Lucas injector cleaner when you fill the tank up, it will help you a lot. It is about 2 or 3 bucks......
