The best way to get them cleaned is to remove them from the vehicle and let a
professional injector cleaning service take care of them. Most shops just run
some kind of solvent through them which isn't enough. Especially considering
that each injector has a miniature fuel filter screen in the top where the fuel
enters the injector. A professional shop will not only replace these filters,
but both o-rings as well as sending solvent through them in a reverse-flow
manner and in an ultrasonic bath. Try http://www.lindertech.com/ .
