They put solid injector cleaner in your gas tank and run something else through your fuel system to clean out you rinjectors. It's like $70 but it does the job, anyone know the name of it so I know what to ask for when looking to see who does it?

Fuel rail flush--they disconnect the fuel rail from the fuel line and then hook the rail up to a pressurized container of solvents/cleaner. They run the engine off the cleaner till the container is empty. Not sure what they throw in the tank, but it's a separate technique from the rail flush.

^^^correct, i cant remember the chemicals name right off hand. but it is some pretty potent stuff. i remember a car come in the place i worked with several lbs. of sugar in its gas tank.

to use this stuff you'll need a pressure bottle that has a removable top. i think you can buy the solvent at some parts places, or maybe a dealership might sell you some. disconnect the fuel line above the filter, hook-up your bottle and start'er up.
