How do i clean a ford focus injector. i believe it's blocked?
Answers:
There is fuel injector cleaner you can buy. Pep Boys or some other automotive place
Take it to an Auto shop and have them do an injector cleaner service. Works A LOT better than the injector cleaner additive that they sell in the auto parts stores.
take it to ur ford dealer. only he can clean ur focus
You don't.
You run, don't walk, to the nearest Honda dealer and trade in your piece of crap for a real car.
With a drill bit (in your fingers, not in a drill!) if you have the injector removed, you can screw a drill bit into there and clean it out.
OR
first you can try gas additives that claim to clean injectors, but don't really unless they aren't that bad
OR
there is a kit that allows you to screw a high pressure can of high octane cleaner onto the injection manifold's fuel supply rail and it blasts everything out. You should do this about every 60k-80k miles, along with changing your timing belt.
If the injector is gummy, any of these methods will work. If it is caked solid, only the drill bit miethod will work
If you have an injector down, take all 4 and have them checked in car or out, have them cleaned and refurbished.
Don't play about get all 4 checked.
Your alternative is to buy 4 new injectors.
why do you think it is blocked?if so have it cleaned by a professional,my advise,your nearest dealer.
Go to your local autoparts store and buy a fuel injector cleaner, do not buy the type that you pour in your fuel tank, those are useless.
I wonder why you think cleaning your injectors will solve your problems, maybe your car is loosing power.
You might want to check the last time you change your fuel filter.

Cleaning your injectors is a DIY sunday job, no more that 8mins. Don't waste your money on this one, IF INJECTORS IS WHAT YOU WANT CLEANED.
easiest way would be to put it in the bath with you when your washing your nads, the chemicals off your nads should clean it. if you dont fancy that get a bottle of injector cleaner and add to a full tank of fuel and run the car as normal and it will do the job for you
If you have made sure your diagnosis is correct then what you need to do is search for a local company which carries out ultra sonic injector cleaning. The addatives that people buy dont do a lot of good at all if an injector is blocked it is usually caused by wax desposites that the addatvies no matter what is c,aimed will not shift, injector cleaning should not be be attempted using drill bits and things like that, the injector is a prescion machined piece of equipment, i personally have a 2.0L 16v cavalier with a redtop engine (choice through experiance) there is a company near me which charges £25 to clean a set I clean my own with an utlra-sonic bath at work, this is the method reccomended by the injector manufacturers. ( i have a spare set which i keep ready to use). thats your best way of cleaning injectors but as previously said are you sure this is the problem ?
you can get an additive you put in the tank called forte hallfords should do it there are different types so tell them what its for and if its anything like the diesel additive its like having a tune up. its about a tenner well worth a go and if it don't work you only lost a tenner but if it dose work you've saved a fortune
