Fuel Injectors

[Dire Straits]

Hi All.....I s there any way to clean the injectors on a 1997 S250 OX66 other than removing them and sending them out to be cleaned?

Thanks In Advance

Spe******ed fuel additive (STP Injector cleaner or anything similar) will do the job. However these are indicated more so for maintenance than actually treating bad fuel injectors.
If you face issues with the fuel injectors, you are better off removing them and cleaning them the proper way

I agree, if you keep running a motor that has problems with plugged screens or partially plugged ones you can/will hurt pistons from lean fuel/air ratio while you wait for it to get better from additives

Check posts by JB123. He removed his injectors and pryed the screens out with a knife. But if i was going throught the trouble pulling the injectors; I'd probably send them out. There is a guy on THT that cleans them at a reasonable cost.

Thank-You guys for the info. Much appreciated.

I will do that.....I am not experiencing any problems, just looking at cleaning them from a maintenance point of view.

Thanks

How can you tell if they're firing off correctly? I've seen the pics on the carb cleaner spray cans but looking in the throttle body it's hard to tell. Fuel dribbling out the injector? Thanks
