injector cleaner is hard on ur plugs, u need to go some place that does a fuel system clean and have that done.
us "places" that do that still run injector cleaner through them -- and i wish that our service writers didn't sell that ****, because it DOES ruin the injectors. they create customer comebacks for us technicians, and the writers blame us!! argh..

plugs are inexpensive compared to what it may cost to have a complete treatment done at a shop

our fuel system service consists of throttle body cleaning, fuel tank additive, fuel injector cleaner ran through the rail, and upper intake cleaner ran through upper vacuum line ~~~ $150 parts and labor

if u run cleaner through your tank it loosens up all the sediments throughout the entire system and tries to run it through all the components. and things such as the injectors that you are trying to clean MAY become clogged with the things that are in the tank and or lines. so at least keep that in mind with whatever your decision is

no, the cleaner doesn't just loosen crap up -- it wears it down and eats it away so it passes through and gets burned with the fuel
