Give it time, someone will reply.

Anyway, I haven't done it myself, but do you want the best way or the easiest way? I'm sure the easiest way is by some kind of gas additive, and the best way is to take them out and brush them with some kind of solution that would dissolve impurities, something like mineral spirits or something, lol, or just some carb cleaner...

At the college they have this machine that takes the car's fuel pump and tank out of the picture entirely and runs the injectors through its gas/cleaner mix for like 15 minutes, that's the best way. Find a shop with one simular and never look back.

You can find a shop that reverse flow cleans the injectors as this will also clean the filter in the injector as well, or do what I did. When I swapped to the new style 4 hole disc type I cleaned them all with laquer thinner and a tooth brush. I used an old armor all bottle to spray the laquer thinner into the injector and it dripped out the bottom pintle, I kept spraying until it ran clear, and it took off all the varnish and built up grime. It works great and wont eat the rubber O rings unless you leave them submerged in it for a few days and then it just swells them lol.
