My '75 1.8L with stock fuel injection system is running rough. I'm thinking a fuel injector cleaner is in order. Red Line SI-1, Lucas and the old standby I use for my boats, Sea Foam, seem to get the best reviews. Any advice or other options?.

We send them to Mr Injector.

Quick turn around and a report that shows real data like injector flow/rate, pattern, leaking, etc. Also comes with new seals and pintle caps, etc. No guesswork. Takes that out of the possibilities when troubleshooting issues.

Just got a set back last week (for a Toyota) and could actually feel the difference when driving the car.

Unless the current injectors are less than 5 years old.

Most injection cleaning services clean the injector both directions (back flushing!) and it does so much better a job than any "mystery juice".

I use a bunch of Seafoam, but I do not use it as an injector cleaner.

For injectors I will use "Techron" in the skinny black bottle.
I've seen that same black bottle (with an overlay sticker) from VW, Honda, and Mazda.
1 bottle per tank and then drive long distance is best.

But I don't expect much from the bottle and would prefer to send them out
