Injector Question

[nkawall]

My 93 J has recently started shaking again ...its happened before and luckily gone away. what type of fuel injector cleaner is best for this car ....i want to try it before going and changing yet another injector

[driverdriver]

There is one that Canadian Tire sells. I don't rememeber the name, but it comes in a silver bottle with an orange label. Its pretty good stuff! Its formulated for Canadian gasoline. I believe its a Canadian Tire brand.

I kind of like the fuel injector failure shake/rumble. It reminds of my old Buick Grand National.

k thanks alot i'll go check canadian tire in the morning...theres one right down the street from me. i'll let you know how it goes

[nkawall]

well the injector cleaner made a little difference..the shaking is a bit less rough and sometimes dosent shake at all....whats the best gas for our j's?i usually use 94 octane at the sunoco gas stations

[yodawill2000]

what the label says isnt the whole story.All I can get is 10% ethanol 93 and I know its just eating away at the plastics on my injectors.

If you can get a can of BG44K off of Ebay it will do wonders for clogged up injectors.

[nkawall]

BG44K huh...sounds good...and youre sure about this?

[driverdriver]

I swear by Sunoco Octane 94, that's the good stuff.

In our neck of the woods, I believe Perfomance Improvement stores sells the BG stuff. I would call and check.

According to the BG product website. These guys below are official distributors of BG products in our region of Ontario. Give them a call and report back, if your able to purchase. I'd like some BG product too!

bg is no snake oil. dealers use it.

[nkawall]

i ordered it on ebay last nightcant wait to try it out

[yodawill2000]

Be advised many recommend changing the oil afterwards as BG will get past the rings.Yes its that strong !!

[nkawall]

what exactly am i supposed to do with the fuel injection cleaner from bg?how do i use it

[yodawill2000]

Add it to a full tank of gas.might do a few redline revs in first gear every once in awhile as it will help bust loose carbon build up as well.After you go through that tank of fuel replace the motor oil.Your done.

you told me to put it in the gas but these are the instructions i got

Here are the step by step instructions for application of the fuelinjection cleaner through the Induction System. 1- Get the engine up to operating temperature 2- Find a vacuum port on the engine that has manifold vacuum on it allthe time. The vacuum port should be as close to the throttle body aspossible. 3- Get a length of vacuum line that will fit tight over the vacuumfitting, approx 2 to 3 feet long. 4- Get a pair of vice grips or pliers so you can pinch the vacuum line off. 5- Put one end of the vacuum line on the vacuum fitting you foundclose to the throttle body and the other end in the open can of thefuel injector cleaner. Now take the pliers and pinch off the vacuumline. 6- Start the engine and let the engine idle. Slowly release the pliersso the engine starts to roughen up, but does not stall. Run thecomplete contents of the cleaner until it is gone. After the contentsof the cleaner is finished shut the engine off and let it sit forapprox 15 minutes. 7- After the sitting time put your car back to normal...vacuum linesect ect. Start the engine up and keep it running until the engine idleis stable. Your engine may run rough for a little while. Now go for agood run on the freeway or higher rpm driving. That's it; use theother products in the kit as per the directions on the cans. NOTE... When you do this service make sure it is done in a well ventilated area.

what would you do..have you ever used this stuff before?

That won't clean the insides of the injectors as you are not running anything thru them. That IS a good way to clean the combustion chamber and I do the same thing with SEA FOAM cleaner. You need something that you can run thru the gas to clean the injectors.

[nkawall]

so since this is bg44k fuel injector cleaner. youre saying to run it in the gas?

[yodawill2000]

there are several BG products.One of which is a can that you put into your fuel tank.Doesn't sound like you got that one.

[nkawall]

oh man youve gotta be kidding me

[nkawall]

just great...does anyone know the name of the exact one that i need?so i basically wasted my money on ebay

[nkawall]
