| CIS: How to check and clean your fuel injectors |
|
To check your fuel injectors get a clear container
(a coke bottle works just fine).
1. Take one injector out of the car at a time starting at #1 and put the injector it the bottle so you can see the spray. 2. Turn the key to the on position to allow the fuel pump to run and observe the spray pattern of the injector.
Remember - replace those fuel filters. YES! BOTH! One in the engine compartment, and for 1977.5 and later Porsche's one right near the gas tank. Replacing with new filters will make a huge difference in performance.
The fuel injectors plug from use because of a filter that is located in the injectors. You can get it renewed at some shops that have the machine to pressure spray the injector (they spray it backwards from the normal way the fuel goes through). It costs about $10 to do. You can get new injectors for about $30. A cleaned injector is as good as a new. |
