albanyGA87TSI Posted November 14, 2004 Report Share Posted November 14, 2004 so I can use a 9 volt battery to clean my injectors??? Whats you recommended cleaning solution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Quest Posted November 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2004 NEW pic above will help you. You just soder a connector to a 9 volt battery. Fill about 3 feet of hose with carb cleaner and provide 40-50 psi of air to that hose after you fill it. Then apply the currant. Pretty easy. Some injectors will "pee" or drip fuel. If after several attempts to run carb cleaner threw them they still do it, they're done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted November 14, 2004 Report Share Posted November 14, 2004 spraying the inj's into a gas safe container will enable you to reuse or save the carb cleaner , you can also soak the inj with the tip open to help remove stoburn deposits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kev_rm Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 good stuff, I like the clear hose idea, so you don't run air thru them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Quest Posted December 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 Here's another tip............if you think they are stuck open.........suck on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87Montero Posted January 2, 2005 Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 Very nice, I just did this on my engine and I believe it fixed my leaky secondary problem. Just one question.. when I hooked the hose up to the spray part of the injector to shoot the cleaner in backwards... The primary injector would just spray the fluid out before I even hooked up the battery, but the secondary needed the battery in order for the cleaner to spray through backwards... Any reason why? thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev_rm Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 because your primary is leaking.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Quest Posted January 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 I would agree. The manual talks about leaking injectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vbrad511 Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 Just supposing some of us "lees-than-fortunate" guys don't have access to an air compressor anymore. Is there an alternative for the air supply? Maybe a can of freon, or a make-shift adapter hooked into the valve stem on a truck tire? Ideas?

artinist Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 and in case the contacts on the injectors have deposits on them, you can use some limeaway to desolve them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Quest Posted March 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Been meaning to try LIMEAWAY myself. BTW..........I've seen air compressors in Pawn Shops for $25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
