I use STP injector cleaner usually. Have also used LUCAS cleaner .....I also use LUCAS Oil Additive all the time...I doubt these cleaners would cause your problem....

there are two that i use,chevron techron and lucas.but never ever use lucas in a used car unless you are sure its fuel tank-lines-etc are not corroded or rusted.the techron is fantastic for cleaning the injectors and intake deposits without loosening any rust ib the system causing headaches.the lucas is a fantastic upper cylinder lubricant and gas mileage improver.but it will remove loosen up all the rust and corroision.in todays cars that use part ethanol fuel after a few years of use you are going to see some corrosion in the system because ethanol is am oxygen carrying fuel.i guess you could start off useing small amounts of lucas,like 1oz per 20 gals then see what happens.but not in my used car!i've seen what can happen,it can really beat your wallet up!

What about some injector cleaner from NAPA. I read where you hook up this can to your fuel rail and take out the fuse for the fuel pump and run the engine. Has anyone heard of this, does it work?

I had an old busted *** chevy truck when I was younger. Ran ok, but alot of miles. Put a bottle of RXP in it and it came ALIVE. I worked @ Autozone and I had tried alot of diff. cleaners and boosters, but nothing worked like that tiny bottle of RXP. That is all I will use, personally.
