The easiest way to clean them is pull them, rig up a way to provide iso-alcohol to feed them at about 40psi, and then use a rechargeable tool battery 12-18 volts and jumpers(or injector pigtail) to manually "tap" the injectors until they all fire in a good pattern by eye. Usually takes a few seconds and 5-15 taps per. On a scale of 1-10 for "I have an idea on how to do all those things safely" (1 = "No idea", 10 = "I do it all the time" ) if you are higher than a 5, then do it. Also keep changing those filters. Would be best to pull and flush the tank, and replace all the lines while you're at it.. or if you're tank is questionable anyhow.. good excuse to replace it.

I drained the gas tank completely and replaced the fuel filter but it's still spittin and sputtering. I've started to remove the injectors but don't know to clean them after I get them out. How do I clean fuel injectors? >
