How do you clean fuel injectors without removing them?
So, I know I should probably clean my fuel injectors. But to be honest, I’m really not willing to go through the hassle of removing them. Is there a way I can clean my fuel injectors without removing them?

Great question! It’s true removing fuel injectors can be a bit of a headache and a mechanic usually has to do it for you anyway. Fortunately, there is a way that you can clean your fuel injectors without removing them. You will however need to purchase a fuel injector cleaning tool and an air compressor.
Once you have those things, here’s what you’ll need to do:
- Locate and disconnect the fuel rail
- Fill the fuel injector cleaning tool with cleaning fluid as directed on the product packaging
- Connect the cleaning tool to the hood and the outlet pipe
- Remove the fuel pump relay from the fuse box
- Hook your air compressor up to the cleaning tool
- Start your car and let it run until the cleaning fluid is used up
- Reconnect the fuel pump to the fuse box
And just like that, your fuel injectors should be good as new!
While you’re waiting for the cleaning process to finish, put that downtime to good use and save hundreds off of your
car insurance
premiums! It only takes a few minutes to switch your coverage using Jerry–and drivers who do it save an average of $887 a year!
