Bad Gas and 5.7 TPI Injectors

brian schuetta · 11-09-2016, 12:42 PM

I left my 5.7 Formula sit for almost two years while I worked out of town. It smells and runs like it has bad gas. How do you clean the injectors of this gunk? Is there an injector I could junkyard source to replace these or just buy new ones? Or should I take them somewhere to be cleaned and flowed?

There are injector servicing shops that use bench top cleaning machines to flush & flow test them. You pull the injectors and take them there. Should be listed in your phone book. That is becoming pretty common.

Got quoted a price in San Antonio this morning of $160 to clean and test at Fuel Injection Specialties.

After you get them cleaned, put them in the car and run them. Letting injectors lay around especially after being cleaned often don't work when you need them.
