Cleaning injectors

[AcID ZeR0]

I made a post recently about my car kangarooing around when I first start out, it might be down to the injectors being blocked?
I have also noticed it's a bit sluggish and there seems to be a halt in acceleration everytime it touches 2k rpm no matter what gear its in.

I'm wondering whats the best product for cleaning injectors which actually works?

Try optimax, it has worked for me in the past or try typing injector cleaning into google and see what it brings up as there are companys out there that can remove and clean them properly, this one www.gowerlee.dircon.co.uk is in Watford, not too far away, I might even try them myself.

Wynns injector cleaner is quite good - available from Halfords for £5.

Just got a it checked on the computer at Renault the other day because it was spluttering & randomly dying...

... what can I do now to prevent this?

I always used the Wynns about every 2-3K miles when topping up the fuel, also the same on my Dads dci 65
His has never had a problem and it is 2 years older :S

Forte are meant to be good to, use various things by them from time to time. Trade only so may be hard to get your hands on

Is that easily done? what costs etc?

Always used Forte stuff and readily available on ebay. Used additives without a problem for over 80k miles. Used to use STP and Wynns but Forte seems to offer more and is used by most garages, which is why its trade only to stop people applying them incorrectly or too frequently.

Optimax/V Power may stop them getting cruddy in the first place but if already like that, try an additive. Can't be any worse.

You don't have a lambeda sensor thats for the petrol owners who have to keep an eye on A/F ratios dci owners don't have to (smoke tell you when you've got A/F issues)

Check your coils AmirClio that the most likly that or the spark plugs/tdc sensor
