How I cleaned my injectors...
How I cleaned my injectors...
First I bought a set of fuel injector filters from mr injector on ebay, then removed all my filters from my current injectors.
Here is a link to his auction.
Then I bought a can of B12 Chemtool Fuel injector cleaner.
Put the injectors in a bucket and let them soak for a few days.

That was the second round. They soaked for a few days and the liquid was so full of crud, I dumped it and put some fresh stuff in.
Next, I put the injector in a vice, and ran test leads to each terminal. The socket is there to keep the brake cleaner from shooting all over me.

Now run each lead to a 9v battery. I wouldn't use a constant 12v source. I don't know if it'd be bad, but I'd rather run something smaller. Once it's connected you should hear it click, and the injector is now open.

Now shoot brake cleaner down the injector. I did it in spurts. After a couple spurts, the cleaner should shoot out the bottom of the injector.

I then put new filters in, and replaced the o-rings.
I had a problem with my fuel injectors I bought off another member. Putting in the stockers fixed my problem, and each svo injector measured 16.1-16.3 ohms, and they all click fine when I put a stethoscope on them. I will put them on tomorrow and let you know if it fixed the problem.
For those who don't know, the car would buck, surge, etc... It would have to be slowly accelerated to get up to speed, if I stepped on it more than 1/2 throttle, it would just pop and not move.
I will update tomorrow when I put the injectors in to let you know if it cured the problem.

I wonder if thats the cause of my partial bucking problem at low speeds, and VERY light thottle input? I just put in a set of used (700 mile) SVO's and it has been getting progressively better the more I drive it, but its still there.
At WOT its fine though. And part throttle driving its pretty good. Just at low RPM's also. Say below 1500-1600, if I am giving it like < 5% throttle just to cruise, it will buck some. If I give it enough throttle to start accelerating instead of maintaining speed, its fine.
Similar to your problem? My injecters were used breifly, then sat for about a year since I had them. I may have to soak them.

Ehhh, it just seems different than what my buddy's SBC Monte does since the cam swap. His, say you hold it at a LOW throttle position, it will actually surge, like you just got on the throttle some, even holding it steady. Mine very well could be cam surge, its pretty minimal, but I thought it was a possibility since it sounded so similar to his situation, also with 30# SVO's, and mine were used, with a few hundred miles on them, and sat for some time until I used them.

Sea Foam works well, as does Lucas. Sea Foam says it can be run in engine oil, but I would NOT do that. If youve run synthetic, or conventional, and changed it on the intervals, there should be no need to run anything like that IN the oil.
Now as a fuel treatment, I wouldnt hesistate to use sea foam. Used it in a buddys car and it for sure worked. It ran much better after we ran some through a vacuum line into the intake, and dumped the rest in the fuel tank.

I ran 3 tanks of Seafoam through my lawnmower this year - it really improved the way it was running under load.
One tank through my '94 Polaris Jet Ski noticeably improved throttle response.
I always have a can of the stuff around now.
