Rob,

Ive just used the fuel injector cleaner that you put in your gas tank and its worked fine so far. Other than that i have gathered this information that could be useful for you:

"Cleaning the deposits off the tips of the injectors can be done several ways. One way is to take the vehicle out on the highway and accelerate hard several times. The increased fuel flow tends to wash away the deposits. Most fuel companies add fuel injector cleaning additives to their fuels to help remove these deposits.

Another way to clean the injectors is to add concentrated fuel injector cleaner to the fuel tank. Available at dealerships, corner service stations, and automotive parts stores everywhere, this type of cleaner adds more detergents to the fuel. Several aftermarket companies supply injector cleaner but directions on the container are usually the same: add one container of cleaner to a full tank of fuel. The detergents will help keep the injectors clean, especially if you do a lot of slow speed driving. Do not add more than one container of cleaner to a tank of fuel. The detergent agents in the cleaner are very concentrated and too much can cause rubber parts in the fuel system to fail.

A quicker way to clean injectors is to force injector cleaner directly through the injectors at a concentrated rate. This service can be performed by most repair shops and is usually only done when there is an injector-related driveability problem with the vehicle. To use this method, the technician connects the injector cleaner and its supply tank directly to the fuel lines at the motor. Any fuel return lines to the car's fuel tank are blocked so the cleaner goes only through the injectors. With this type of cleaning, the concentration of the cleaner is very strong, so injectors are cleaned quickly. It also has the advantage of cleaning some carbon off the backsides of the engine's intake valves. Carbon on the back of the valves soaks up or blocks fuel delivery into the cylinders, and rough idles or hesitations during acceleration result.

If this method of cleaning injectors doesn't work, there are two choices: replace the faulty injector or have it removed and cleaned off the vehicle. Off-vehicle cleaning is done on equipment costing tens of thousands of dollars, so very few repair shops have this equipment. Instead, they send out injectors requiring cleaning to a local specialist. The injectors are mounted on the machine and pulsed electrically while cleaning fluid is forced through the injector backwards. An amazing amount of dirt, rust, and water comes out of injectors cleaned using this method, but not all injectors can be cleaned.

After the cleaning process, the injectors are tested on a flow bench to verify correct spray patterns and fuel flow. Any that do not meet the standard must be replaced. I know of some local hot rodders that have the repair shop "match" the injectors. Several injectors are tested until enough are found that have the same fuel flow rates (within 5%). This helps fuel economy and performance. For passenger car applications, the injectors usually flow within a 10% of each other.

Injector cleaning doesn't need to be done on a regular basis, but if you are experiencing stumbles, stall, hesitations, or other driveability problems with your vehicle, then it may be the gum on the injectors causing the fault."



If you haven't been on 4crawler.com yet i highly suggest it for the wealth of information he gives. The downside (for me at least) is its harder than hell to navigate! Here is the only info he has for the injectors:

I will try to answer any questions you may have but i think were pretty much in the same boat. Im trying to learn as much as i can about the 4runners, but i can only read so much on the computer in one day!

Damn Jason, thanks a bunch for the info. My injectors are leaking around the o-rings so I will be removing them weather I like it or not. I am also considerablly lucky to have an ultrasonic cleaner at work that I can fill with injector cleaner so we will see how it goes. With the tank being rusted out before I got it I expect to get quite a bit af crap out of the,

 

oh and if you didnt notice, i think the 4crawler guy will clean them for $24/per injector. Might be an option if you dont know what your doing...
