960 injector cleaning 900

Hi All
My #1 injector needs a good bath. What's the best way to clean it out? Solutions in the fuel supply? Direct application to the injector bar? Out of the car?
Thank You!
Ned

    960 injector cleaning 900

    Clogged injectors aren't as common as they were in the '80s, the EPA requires injector cleaner of good concentration to be in all gasoline sold in the US. I haven't seen a clogged injector in years. Non-ignition related skips and missed are usually due to bad injector seals or wiring. Air leakage around the injector is also a common problem. On the B234, burnt/sticking valves usually cause such problems. Volvo no longer reccomends the use of injector cleaners, because of reformulated fuels. On the B6304 960 engine the usual problem is either a bad injector seal or bad manifold gasket. The only way to clean those injectors if they were to get gunked up would be to remove all of them and send them out.

    Best way is to clean out of the car--Lender thechnical service did mine for 24 bucks each, next best is in car with the motor vac system which is hooked up to the injectors and the engine is run for about 30 min at idel. This cleans the intake valves as well as the injectors, along with combustion chamber, and out thru the cat.
    Hope that helps
