Anyone ever had their car injectors cleaned using this motorvac thing? The mechanic said it works wonders to restore injectors. My car has 230,000km and I figure it wouldn't hurt to clean 'em out a bit. Only thing is, mechanic quoted about $160 bucks to do it.

I have used the motorvac at my school and it does work really well. You would definitly be able to tell a difference in the way the car runs afterwards.

I had it done at 18,200 miles on my T/A. It still didn't run right. One season, a bunch of frustration, and about 2,000 miles later I pulled the injectors and sent them to Cruisin' Pergrmance.

I must have had a bad experience with the MotorVac process, since the only thing it apparently cleaned was my wallet. Rich got my injectors cleaned, spraying correctly, and flow-matched. With gaskets and other parts, it was still cheaper (but more labor intensive) to remove and clean them.

One ounce per 10-gals gas at every fill-up. Adds about $.04/gal, keeps them clean constantly.

You'll have to go through 4000 gals of gas to spend the $160.
