need advise on Injector cleaning.

[TurboDuane]

I've got a 4.6L engine all apart, and am starting the re-build. I keep looking at the injectors and I'm thinking I should soak them to clean them up. Should I soak them? Will it make a difference? What should I soak them in? SeaFoam?

Hopp's gun cleaner works well on aircraft injectors, but might not be good on the plastic. Totally different Bird if you know what I mean...

While I had everything apart for my rebuild, I cleaned my Miata injectors with the fuel injector additive you can buy at VatoZone.

I pulled them off the rail, opened the solenoid with a 9V battery, and used a power bleeder to push the (full strength) cleaner through the injector at 15psi or so.

Don't know whether it helped or not, but it was an interesting exercise...

Good luck!
