Decided to do all the fuel hoses and injectors after 32 years I think it was long over due. Two of the hoses had some serious cracking.

Hello, Testing and cleaning the injectors. Also I wouldn’t wait on it if you care about your car if those hoses are original it’s a disaster waiting to happen.

They are not original. They were last changed several years ago, so time to repeat.

Default A little update

injectors were tested and cleaned. Flows below are at 3 Bar pressure, 60 second duration, 100% duty cycle. Pretested on Saturday, 5/27/2023. Cleaned and retested on Tuesday 5/30/2023.

Before cleaning After cleaning

1) 199 cc 200 cc
2) 194 201
3) 202 203
4) 198 204
5) 194 201
6) 191 201
7) 198 203
8) 204 207
9) 186 203
10) 200 200
11) 198 206
12) 186 202

Average 195.8 cc 202.5 cc increase of 3.4%
High 204 207
Low 186 200
Range 18 7 decrease of 61 %
Deviation 5.55 % 2.14 % decrease of 61.4 %

Summary..... 11 of 12 injectors improved with cleaning. Flow averages are now within spec, as is deviation. Deviation for a daily or occasional driver vehicle should be between 1-3 %. mine were out of spec and were now good to refit to the rail. I expect to see a slight improvement in fuel mileage as O2 sensor and ECU do fuel adjustments and a slight HP increase.

injectors were refitted with new filters, and new pintle caps and got them refitted to the fuel rail with new hoses.
