Default So Cal injector cleaning?

Anyone know a good shop or work at one that still does injector cleaning. Ive got a 94 Z28 id like to get running better before I rip apart my WS6. I know alot of places used to have those machines to hook up to the fuel rail.

I appreciate the help guys...Thanks very much!

change them its a waste of money, i work at a dodge dealership and we still do the fuel injector flush, if your in the cerritos area ill hook you up, i have the machine that hooks up to the fuel rail and i add a additive to the fuel tank. by doing the flush your cleaning the injectors and cleaning the combustion chamber from all the carbon build up.

Learn something new everyday.

I was thinking that if the injector cleaning cost 1/2 (or even 1/4) the price of a new set, it'd be better to get the new set. For example, if it cost $50 to clean them, I'd rather pay $200 for a new set.

I would put new ones in but the thing is I am selling the car and am already loosing money on it by selling it and anything else I put into it I will loose. Car has 100k miles.Thanks for the advice!

Also...I tried seafoam in the tank and had no effect...I have thought about doing the full seafoam treatment but am nervous abput it. What do you think?

I just did seafoam yesterday, and it seemed to work well. I am working out other issues in my car, but it is worth it. Lot of smoke makes it fun too. Check the stickey in General Maintance and Repair, it takes you step by step. It's idiot proof.
