Ron:
I saw a demonstration of this technique on a V6 CC mini-van on 'Shadetree
Mechanic'. It looked pretty straight forward. Just needed to disable the
electric fuel pump and connect the fluid can into the fuel rail (which had
a fitting). Van ran on the stuff for about 5 min. and presto, injectors
were cleaned.
They indicated that the product was available at the local parts store, but
it wasn't cheap.
