no additive you put in your tank is going to clean injectors very well.

seafoam can be used in more then just your gas tank, and it does do wonders for some people. However a good fuel injection cleaning from a shop may cost you, but your injectors will thank you for it.

agreed. i didn't want my car to be disabled while i was waiting on injectors to be back from the cleaners so i just replaced them. it was more expensive to do it this way though.

i couldn't find a place near me to do it. the places i found did the cleaning and flow test for $25-$30 an injector and i would have had to send them in to have it done. i think turn around was a day or two.

Save your money, clean them yourself.
They sell the parts on ebay cheap.
Go down to "Fuel injector cleaning"

Great DIY info site. ---> http://fordfuelinjection.com
