Majesty202: , yea we do hv

agoha_vivi: My hussy always insists that I use an injector cleaner when refuelling. I did it for a while and stopped because I felt it was a waste since none of my friends or loved ones used it yet experienced no issues with their cars. After some time my car began to have trouble accelerating even when I hit the gas pedal to its end point the car wouldn't accelerate well. I told my hussy about it and he asked if I'd been using the injector cleaner. I lied that I always did yet he insisted that I hadn't been using it. Subsequently, i refuelled three times using the injector cleaner, to my surprise my acceleration improved greatly.
@ikenna: I'm concerned by your post. Are you of the opinion that I avoid using injector cleaner especially considering my experience?

Siena:

Wow. Bro, how much do you pay for this??

tjskii: Kai i really nid to get my mind outta the gutter,when i saw the topic twas somthin totally diff i had in mind

OAM4J:

I have no clue what was on your mind when you saw the topic. Can you share?

Biggoozz: @ Sienna, I have an AutoCare business that will sure interest you I want to propose to you seeing your pedigree. How do we communicate off this board?

emelu: @Sienna, pls a Nigerian mechanic cleaned d fuel filter inside my fuel tank by puncturing some holes at the body of the cloth-like filter. He claimed that he did that so as to ensure that dirts are cleaned. But since then I have been hearing a back-fire shooting sound each time I try to accelerate. The vehicle is Audi A4 1.8ltr engine, 4 plugs. Not turbo. Pls help me out cos the shooting sound is embarrasing.pls note that I have done the so called "injector servicing" to no avail.thanks a lot.

lokopet: Tanx Oga Siena. Pls i have a 2001 nissan maxima, am a green horn in automobile. How do i resolve a sign that pops up on my dash board- supplemental airbag warning. i ve got scanning guys but could not resolve it. the car is working well but i dont know if the sign can affect the car.

emelu: Pls do after changing my Audi A4 injectors, do I still need to change the punctured cloth-like fuel filter inside the fuel tank?

Ikenna351: Injector Nozzles? You are making it difficult for them to understand. Nigerians call Injectors: NOZZLES, while they call throttle body: INJECTOR.

From my understanding, what Nigerians regard as servicing of nozzles is cleaning of injectors with carb cleaner. Some would simply spray carb cleaner on the two ends of the injectors, and thats all. Unfortunately, they end up damaging the O-rings, spacers & pintle caps, since carb cleaner is a rubber destroyer. A lot of cars have burnt to ashes after the so called injector servicing. Why? Because the carb cleaner will weaken the O-ring and will cause leak from those points, which will, with time, start dripping/leaking fuel on exhaust manifold from the upper injector O-ring. Most people dont even know that O-rings need to be replaced after pulling out the injectors, to prevent vacuum leak from those ends.

Am yet to find in Abuja where ultrasonic injector cleaning is been done, which is the best method of cleaning injectors. But then, are we sure that our injectors really need cleaning? Or because our clowns said so? Most of us are good at driving reserve tank or only refuel when the fuel warning light starts showing on our instrument clusters. Why wont the injectors get clogged!

Some of us are fond of buying and pouring in the fuel tank, anything that has "injector cleaner" stamp on a container, not knowing that those Acids they call injector cleaners will at the end clog the injectors. Not all of them are safe to even touch the valves, making them sticky.

I wish we all know how we are killing our cars, with our hands and money, out of ignorance.

Ikenna.

eleven: Woah...Its like this topic is discussing my current experience.

My CRV 2002 model suddenly developed a problem in July last year.

The problem is the car doesn't idle. When you put in the gear the RPM drops to zero and the engine goes off.

Also I can't drive it at holds up...its hell. The only time I can drive it is on a free way and the fuel consumption is very, very high.

I have dealt with different mechanics and rewires none have been able to successful solve the problem.

In July last year, one of the rewires change the Idle Air control valve which seems to work until December last year...between then and now I have bought 2 Idle air control valves without results.

It will work but after a day or 2 the fault will resurface.

They have serviced the noozle (or fuel injector) countless times without permanent success.

Infact they just returned the car today since yesterday washing the fuel tank and changing the fuel pump.

I am suppose to test it tomorrow to know if the problem still persist.

To be honest, I am dead tired...not too motivated to drive it but would try all the same with the hope that it works permanently this time around.

Here is a picture of the Idle air control valve changed twice now without permanent results
