Default Injector Cleaning...

I am thinking about doing this... with almost 90k on the stock injectors. I understand that there is a certian type of solution GM sells to clean the injectors and you have to inject the solution into each injector underpressure with some sort of tool? Is this correct?

If so... where can I purchase this injector cleaning tool and solution. Online links would be helpful. I kinda need this quick... my uncle has an old 89 Sonoma with an LT1 engine swap from an 89 vette and has larger injectors on it... the truck has been sitting for a while and the injectors are notorious for getting clogged so we want to clean them out right this time for march the 19th... it'll be its first time to the track in like almost 10 years. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

they prob. inject it into that port on the side of the fuel rail. i got some stuff here at work that justice bros. makes that we have a tool to inject it into the engine. i doubt your going to be able to find a tool anywhere except the dealer.

alrighty thanks... my uncle has some sort of ties with the guys at Hardy Cheverolet... so maybe they'll do it for him for really cheap. That reminds me i need to take my intake manifold off and clean it... i know that sob is dirty, i havent actually taken the thing off yet.

oh steven.. are you still going to try and go to the shootout on the 19th or is the drive too long?

not sure man. i highly doubt it. things arent looking to good around my camp haha. you could try some seafoam in the gas tank of his ride. if hes not running fuel injection tell him to go to the dodge dealer and get part #4318001AB and tell him to spray it into the carb. spray about half to 3/4 of it in there then shut the truck off for about 30 mins then crank it back up and use the rest of the can in it. that **** works good.
