What do i do to check or clean injectors? What things should be done to them and how do you do them to keep them at optimal performance?

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 03-Jan-03 AT 11:35 PM (EST)]Checking isn't really possible with them installed - you need a special test rig, but it's kinda moot. If you think it's bad enough to pull one, just put a new one back in.

I just run some decent FI cleaner after every other oil change (~5000mi), and I vary which brand & type I use. Sometimes the $3/bottle stuff and sometimes the $10. Even though mine were so bad when I bought the engine that I had to short them for a minute or so to get them hot enough to open, they've run perfectly for the past 4 years.

Carb cleaner should work, too. It'll clean out just about all gas engine systems.
