It appears that the recent introduction to autocrossing is causing havoc on my little 1.7 since it was previously living a plush life with an old guy. Anyway, one of my injectors had to be replaced with a used one last night because it was clogged. The used injector worked much better than the clogged one, but not as good as a brand new one. All the injectors were replaced with brand new ones not to far back and I would like to put the clogged new one back in if I can get it cleaned out and working correctly.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how or where to get an injector cleaned?

I would suggest

He cleaned my 2.0L injectors and did a GREAT job. They came back looking like new. He also sends a performance test on each injector he cleans.
The price was around $50, giver or take depending on shipping.

You can always try my low budget, low tech, home made cleaner. It works!

$50= shipping to have them pro-cleaned? How much are new ones?
That $50 is for all 4 to be cleaned and to come back good as new and flow tested to insure their performance.
I'll scan in the test report if anyone cares to see it.
Cheers

Mark, I just caught your post on the home made cleaning device. I would like you input. I load amo for my sons service rifle matches. We use a vibrating bowl to clean the brass. What would be your estimate if we placed an injector in a sealable container with FI injector fluid and placed it in the vibrating bowl for about an hour? I may be able to come up with a 3V source and connection to be contained in the sealed container to open the pentle. I would appreciate your thoughts.
Many regard rebuilt injectors to be no better than older. Brad shared a site that sells quoted new 2.0L injectors for $56.60each.http://catalog.thepartsbin.com/
Britan, I have four 1.7 injectors I no longer need. If you can use them, email me an address I can ship them to you.

I think the actual price is $11/ injector and that includes a new screen, tip piece, and genral referbishing of the injector.
The black plastic piece on one of my injectors tips was loose and came off in my hand.
He replaced the screen and installed a new tip piece.
I had one known bad injector but sent all 4 off to be cleaned. My little 2.0L runs so much better now. I thought I had other issues with my engine but if must have been the injectors.
CHeers and best of luck.
