Has anyone had expierence with ultrasonic injector cleaning? I was thinking maybe the spray patterns and flow have degraded after 100K miles. Is it possible that getting the injectors cleaned and flow tesed would yeild better efficiency in the engine or would running a bottle of injector cleaner from the parts store do well enough?
I have no idea if injectors have a degradation over time that is fixed with a good off the car cleaning but it sounds like it makes sense to me.
Cleaning all 8 OEM injectors is about 150 to 160.

I would say that it cant hurt to clean them but it probably depends on how they were treated for 100k miles. Here is a link for DIY cleaning or you can usually find stock cleaned injectors on ebay for around $125.00 DIY Fuel Injector Cleaning

I havent checked prices lately but you might not be far from simply getting some new injectors (with new o-rings and pintle caps) for about the same money.......
