Mechanical Injector Removal
When fuel injectors are clean, they can enhance the performance of your vehicles engine. On the other hand, even injectors with minor clogging can have just the opposite effect. Although you can clean a fuel injector while its on the vehicle, you may want to remove it for a more thorough cleaning.
Significance
Sometimes fuel injectors are so clogged that a simple on-car cleaning might not be enough to fix the problem. Also, some injector cleaners are strong enough to damage other parts during on-car cleaning, such as the fuel pump, which consists partly of rubber. The only alternative is to remove the fuel injectors so that you can have them cleaned professionally.
Removal
Removing the injectors from a vehicle requires special equipment that costs as much as $6,000. Some vehicle models require much more work than others to remove the injectors from the car. The average price you can expect to pay per injector is about $30 as of 2011.
Time Frame
Many auto shops have cleaning machines that are equipped with reverse-flush features that work well for flushing out injectors. Once the fuel injectors have successfully been removed from the vehicle, expect the cleaning to take a little over half an hour.
