Trust me on this, there is always loads of muck comes out. The fuel filters fitted to modern cars are very good but they don’t stop everything. In addition to the varnish type deposits, the moving parts of the injector become sluggish. This can make them slow to respond, making them stay open longer, or stay closed for longer. One thing I have noticed is that when they have been through the ultrasonic cleaner, they sound sharper or crisper. They also become more uniform when pattern testing at minimum demand at high revs. Say for instance when you just put your foot gently on the gas pedal at high speed. This makes the pick up smoother.
Think of it like flushing out a radiator. You can put all the correct chemicals in and drive around for a day or two, then flush it through with clean water. Then, when you decide its still not write, you take it off, shake it, and back flush it. You always get some more crud out of it.

Default Sending Injectors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please take note. To anyone sending injectors, will you please wrap them properly? They should be wrapped individually and taped, then all wrapped together to prevent rattling around. Also take care removing the “O” ring from the nozzle end. Do NOT lever them over the pintle cap! Finally, a return address would be most helpful.

Also can you please label any injectors you are donating accordingly otherwise you may get the wrong ones back. Thanks

Jim

Default injector cleaning

VOLVO 850 se 1995 mileage 125000
hi again jim, this is just to thank you most sincerely for the injector treatment and for letting me watch the whole process from start to finish, i was amazed at how bad 2 of my injectors were but thanks to your system of cleaning and testing and how it was done i have to say i thought it felt a little different when i drove away, but it came into it's own when i came into heavy traffic, no more juddering and lag when i touch the throttle, and the economy i now have has been great, before i was lucky to get around 22-23 in town, but it appears to be getting more like 27-30 and a lot smoother so it is a joy knowing that it is more affordable to run, i can't praise you enough, hope to keep in touch, once again many thanks jim, i can see your system being a godsend to all other users not only volvo but any injection system, i hope it works out for you, very best wishes - pete.

Thanks for that Pete. Hope you find the MUPET that re-shaped your back bumper.
