This might be classified as a cross-post, but since this project could prove to be universally useful to our members interested in building their own EFI cleaning apparatus, I have posted it in this venue as well.

I have completed the final design and successful operational testing of a Homemade Electronic Fuel Injector Cleaning Machine I call "The FrankInjector" (with props to the Frankenstein Monster). All of the information on project development, necessary parts and pieces as well as hundreds of images and testing videos can be viewed at this forum link to the forum of origin and my Photobucket where all of this work has been memorialized for free and open public access:

I hope it proves interesting and useful to other members of our various forums.

I've been cleaning mine on the rail with a 3M kit for years. Never needed to remove them. Simply put the can on the system. Stop any return to the tank. Shut down the fuel pump and let the engine run until the can is empty. About 10 minutes. Works great.

 

Yes Speedy... I agree with using this method under certain circumstances... But... quite "FRANKly"... "The FrankInjector Machine" can be used to do this job in exactly the same manner! However, the whole point of designing and building it was to come up with an OTV "Off The Vehicle" Method of cleaning Multec and other designs of EFIs in a manner that will rival or equal the ASNU Machines that demand the removal-send-off-and-wait-then-pay-for-them method. The use of my machine includes the replacement of the Rochester Multec EFI Filter Baskets, Dual Ultrasonic Cleaning, Impedance Checks and finally and probably the most important aspect from the performance standpoint ... Flow Matching all the Fuel Injectors to reveal other hard to identify problems with weak or failed injectors. All of this can be done out in one's driveway....whenever one wants...and as often as one might want to "tidy" up their injectors...(on ALL their vehicles)...instead of the arbitrary 90-100,000 of use that most injector set endure before they even get looked at. Please... Take a few minutes to look over the original thread on this subject here on the "V6" portion of our forum and follow the links to all my Photobucket design and build photos and videos for all three generations of "Frank"... I think you will see what I mean.

There have been some fairly exciting new developments concerning the creation of "The FrankInjector Machine" in the past several weeks that might be of interest to anyone in general concerned with very effective method of cleaning their EFIs in an Off The Vehicle setting. For the last few months, while proving out and finalizing my final design and build of this machine... I have been imploring the "lurkers" among the nearly ten thousand visitors/visits to this thread to get involved and just throw their hats in the ring concerning the development of a proper electronic EFI actuating device that would make this machine a completely self-contained and fully functioning apparatus.

You can look over the latter pages of this original post and will find that a design engineer named OLLOPA "Rick" (who I now call TRON...because "He Fights for The Users"...) has volunteered his time and expertise in designing and making what he calls "AN ELECTRONIC EFI DRIVER" that would be a healthy replacement for the dual OTC devices I have been using all along...but which are not exactly what you would call a "Fire and Forget" means of actuating "Frank" during all the various Pressure Cleaning and Flow Balance cycles. If you are curious to see what he has in mind... please see the latter pages of this now epic post (say...pages 21-25, etc.) and you'll find the text and images of what he is working on. If anybody has additional ideas in parallel with what is happening...please feel free to contribute your thoughts and suggestions there! I think the V-8 enthusiasts here will also appreciate that in his efforts to build his own version of "The FrankInjector Machine"... TRON's images at this link show that he has included positions on the EFI "RiXInjector Rail" for all eight (8) EFIS!

Okay Folks...

Here is another engineering-type free thinker who really has completely solved all of the problems with his own Home Made EFI Cleaning Machine. This fellow...who goes by the nickname "marks" on YouTube deserves high praise... Check out the last entry and updated post I made on this subject here for all the information!

Okay... this fellow who calls himself "marks" on YouTube has a series of three videos that demonstrate his efforts to RNCNR (Remove and Clean and Replace) a set of four EFIs on his wife's Ford Escort...but the machine he has made to do this is pure brilliance and he has managed to solve all of the problems anyone might encounter with managing a closed, filtered cleaning solution system and the electronic variable controls needed to make it work. I sure that it could be scaled up to handle a full set of (8) Eight EFIs...


Take a look at these YouTube Videos and you'll see what I mean!

Just an update concerning a related-cross-posted on this subject...

I've completely re-designed "The FrankInjector Machine" to accommodate Rochester Multec I AND NOW the Ac-Delco Multec II Fuel Injectors as well!
