Cleaning fuel injectors

[Basil]

I made a short video on how to clean fuel injectors on the bench. I added this as a resource in the resource section.

Electrical - Easy way to clean fuel injectors (out of car)

Just another video on how to clean fuel injectors. In this demonstration I'm cleaning an injector from our 2003 BMW Z4 but process should work on most injectors.

Thanks - I was thinking about maybe cleaning the injectors in my 200k mile 2010 BMW motor...

If you want to make up a more permanent rig and not risk shorting and a spark, I made this adaptor to do the job of energizing injectors decades ago. Audi part number 022 906 231 (and I suspect it to be the Bosch number as well) and a couple wire leads to attach a voltage source. Pardon the dirty appearance, it has done its job for many years.

I thought about that but didn’t have the extra connector and didn’t feel like buying one. If it was something I was going to do frequently then for sure I’d make one.

It was a "nice-to-have" and I could walk into the parts room and just get the plug outta the bin! Nobody else thought to do it...
