You can use a little 9v battery. You dont need much power to actuate the injector valve.
Aw cmon. Carb cleaner in the eye feels amazing!
I see clearly now. Every one looks like an alien now. Even my wife and kids.
Excellent, I just needed to know how to use the kit thanks so much! straight to the point.
The other reason for removing the injectors & cleaning them is to replace the filter screen in the injector, most o-ring kits come with the filters & you can purchase the removal tool for about $10 to go with it or you could just use a sheet metal screw with pliers to remove the filter✌
Absolutely!
i tried this and it destroy my filter screen ... my filter screen was aready degraded and didn't know i had to remove it before doing this ..
@@bcbjbggjh9102 the damage caused by using this technique, im pretty sure, is inevitable. Thus you would need replacement filter(s)
Thank you for your honest opinion.
For about 1/20 of price of the Motionpro Fuel Injector Cleaner Kits, this DIY kit did a pretty decent result。 Good job and thanks for this display video.
Thanks for watching!
Why this how to/opinion vlog don't have 1mil plus views...this was great for noobs like myself.👍🏾
... on this unname thing 🤣🤣🤣 that was funny
If they had only put a " momentary switch" in the line to eliminate the tappity, sparkity, possibly blowing up something. Then one could leave it hooked to the battery constantly, and the switch insulated mostly from igniting over spray.
That could easily be done by installing a button on the positive line.
Very good video & truthfull commentary at end..thnx
Whoa! Sorry man, I missed what you were saying because I was spacing out on your 1970's Lava lamp! So cool! 🙃
Your video is perfect. I was rebuilding a 91 f150 5.0 engine. I took off the fuel rail and broke 3 injectors. After buying the repair kit. I noticed they were dirty. I seeked out the tool. It looked too good to be true. I agree this shouldn't be a go to method. But every once in a while, tool.
Great explanation!
Honest advice. Thx
Thank you for the great demo!
😁👍
The test was helpful and your commentary was also very helpful
Thank you!
Depend on where are you located (in this world) I paid $2.50 shipped for the kit. It worked great, now my 20 years old Toyota run smooth and gain 20-30% fuel economy compare to before cleaning.
Japanese cars are easy to remove injectors, took me ≤45 mins (1st time ever) to COMPLETE the job, I mean reinstalled everything back to the car.
BTW, If you have an older car, consider replacing a set of O-rings while you have the injectors out. Unfortunately for me, I did the process twice.
I got these to mosty test injectors for flow pattern.
With the injectors from my 944 and 914 out of the car, I’m going to try this. But since my ‘91 Civic running l’m took your advice and got fuel system cleaner.
You can leave the injector connected to the battery from 5-10 seconds before you're in danger of burning it out.
Please do a flames thrower kid vid 😉
Flame Thrower kit....got it thx for the idea
Oh no.... 😂
When spraying shooting outt fuel injectors to fully know its clean it has to shoot out in a triangle shape
Thanks for your demo. It helps a lot !
Glad I could help!
An indecisive person.
Always and forever
Great Video
Great video
Very informative I liked and subbed I will also share good luck hope you get your 1000 subscribers soon
Thank you! I really appreciate that 😁👍
I will try to put some sort of gasket between the carb cleaner can and tool.
Thanks man, but I think the first part of this video should be how to disassemble the injectior in the first place 😜 I (and probably most of the guys watching this video) would like to do it myself some services to my car, so a step by step explanation would be nice. 👍🏻
I get what you're saying and you have a valid point.
While the process of using this kit to clean injectors is going to be the same for just about every gasoline fuel injector (besides direct injection), the process of removing and reinstalling the injectors is going to be different for every type of engine out there.
As part of the long process of planning, filming and editing videos for upload, I have to decide what information is going to benefit the most viewers. Including the process of removing the injectors on the vehicle in this video which represents less than 1% of the vehicles on the road today would likely be skipped over by most viewers, which harms the video's watch percentage metrics and leads to the more valuable pertinent and helpful information being able to reach less viewers because the algorithm will cut back on recommending the video.
It could even cause confusion for a viewer when they realize that removing the injectors on their vehicle is a completely different process than I showed them with my vehicle.
I apologize for the long winded response, but it's quite a balancing act for creators to produce content that is helpful and informative to the most viewers, while still being able to survive against an algorithm who's sole purpose is to show the viewer's content that it thinks will keep them on CZcams the longest so it can generate the most add revenue, which smaller creators like me see none of.
Thanks for stopping by the channel, if you're looking for a source of very detailed instructions for your particular vehicle, one of the best things I can recommend is picking up a repair manual by Chilton or Hayne's. They run about 25 bucks but are incredibly useful and show a great deal of detail, such as step by step instructions.
My Toyota Repair Manual says NEVER use oil, use gasoline to lube o-rings and grommets. Great presentation and demonstration.
Thanks for sharing that info and the kind words. I wonder why Toyota would advise against using oil. My GM service manual says "Lightly lubricate fuel injector 0-rings using clean engine oil."
@@TheBudgetMindedMotorist BTW, the caps on 'never' were Toyota's, not mine.
It's all good! I figured that was the case.
@@HardRockCrusher What year and Toyota and is that? Lexus says use like a dielectric lubricant on certain things such as coil boots, and injectors.
@@MRMAN-wb1tv
what about hondas, anybody ?
Nice review! I tested it out but I guess I didn't need it that much. One thing to note is that the injectors popped out a few times until I held them. I have old injectors (9 years old I think) but I've used so many injector cleaner additives in my gas tank that the spray pattern looked about the same before and after. I did not notice a change in performance neither. The only improvement was a 33% increase in the idle RPM so I guess it was working overall. I would not recommend cleaning injectors like this since it's a lot easier to add Seafoam or Berryman's to your tank before you fill up.
What's your interval with the berryman ?
@@michesbianan About every fill up (although I use techron and other brands occasionally).
How do I find filters that work with my injectors
Buen video
Where can I buy this thing ?!!! Thank you
Why not back flush?
$11 on amazon? Nice my cheap ass will get it.
Before you proceed w/this project pls wear Face Shield! Very convenient and safe. So glad I did.
@4:02 All 4 o-rings were cut on the top by that white plastic connector after the cleaning. Probably it is combination of carb cleaner and pressure, and maybe it will be such effect on the old o-rings. I kept old, cleaned the injectors then replaced w/new o-rings. Maybe if I would put a new o-ring it wouldn't happen, I also didn't apply any oil. If oil + new o-ring maybe = good result. I used Face Shield, very glad I did. Does someone know if the injector can be partly damaged (burned)? I made a similar device, but w/push button in the circuit. It didn't work, push, spray, smth got disconnected, flied apart, so I clamped the button, like for 1-2 min (I didn't know about time regime for the injector to operate normally). The injector started to get hot I disconnected. Then I tried similar device, but w/pulse unit (set ~$35 on Amazon). Eventually figured out how everything should be done correctly, all 4 injectors click, spray, but I'm afraid that the first one is partly damaged and I don't know which one now. So that the very 1st injector in my experiments can it be partly worn, damaged, not really good if it still clicks and spray like others? I would appreciate any opinions on this matter.
About the Flow Test ~ @ 7:35 Can those Injector Cleaning Machines for $300 (type Autool) perform that Flow Test? Thank you for a great film.
I run e85 will this clean out the injectors will my car sit?
Happy Gilmore!
lol
@@nevadaboy9769@ 3:10
Would this injector cleaning kit work to flush out outboard motor injectors?
Thank you sir!!! You are right about the connectors alone being worth the $12.
Was that a GDI fuel injector?? Do you believe it would work just as well on those?
I don't think it'd work for direct injection style injectors. Port injectors like the ones in this video operate around 40 psi or so. But direct injectors operate at much higher pressure from what I understand. Like a couple thousand psi. For direct injection I'd just feed the car a steady diet of top tier fuel to keep things clean and maybe run injector cleaner through the tank occasionally if it's recommended in the owner's manual.
@@TheBudgetMindedMotorist thanks. I’ll try tomorrow and let u know
Great video! Q: is it possible to back flush the injector using the the same adapter in the kit? Is it as simple as plugging it into the adapter in reverse? Does the injector plate (the one with the tiny holes) need to be removed?
I didn't remove anything from the injector, just did them as they came off the car. I did back flush mine for a brief moment as I had trouble getting the filter screens out and this was the only way I could think of to clean them out. I haven't noticed any I'll effects and the injectors still sealed fine when pressurized and not activated. That being said, I don't know all there is to know about injectors and there may be risks I'm not aware of in back flushing but that was my experience trying it.
@@TheBudgetMindedMotorist thanks. So you tried to back flush them but you couldn't because of the filter screen?
@@carlosamorin7989 no, I was able to with the screens in just fine.
little tap tap taparooo
Do you have to take out the micron filter before cleaning or just cleaning as a whole?
@@user-lf5yu3rf8z it's ideal to replace them. I wasn't able to get them out of my injectors so I just left them in and did my best to flush them with cleaner. So far it I haven't noticed any issues.
отличное видео
Once you put carb cleaner through the injectors don't you have to let the inside of injector dry before installing and firing up the car?
It couldn't hurt, but It's not something I was very concerned about. The cleaner evaporates very quickly and shouldn't do any harm to an engine even if there was some residual cleaner left in the injectors.
@@TheBudgetMindedMotorist what about pushing can of air through it after
@@Evoxyoutube sounds like that would do a fine job of clearing the cleaner out of the injectors.
Not a problem at all in any circumstance
Honestly there’s more than just cleaning. Older vehicles can develop leaks. Not fuel leaks but they’ll suck in air.
That's why you check for those leaks and fix them.
Can I use a motorcycle battery?
I haven't tried it myself, but I would think it should work.
I used a milwauke M12 battery, works fine. You could even use a 9v Duracell
@@eddiefromcali I did it off my iPhone
It's more than sucks if it gets in your eye, it's burning strongly for a long time and scary. and you can't use the eye.
........happened to me.............I was cock-eyed for 6 months......sucks donuts.....
Try a 9 volt battery
or a 2s lipo
Unamed thing = " fuel injector spray can adapter " or " injector cleaner adapter"
Wish ya could just buy the plastic part

@@dakotak8437 lol, glad to help 😁👍
I knew I'd seen it as an option on one of the kit listings when I was shopping for mine. I started to think maybe they'd taken it down, but I finally found it.
@@TheBudgetMindedMotorist wish they came with the injector tester gaget that I had gotten
I didnt get nothing from this
You're welcome 😁👍
