Here is the fluid , u don't mix it, kill the fuel pump and hook in the unit and run car on the cleaning fluid till it used up, if you goto a shop and pay for cleaning this is what u get, not take out each one and clean it

I'm gonna give this a try, perfect setup. The video says it improved the idle and my Jeep is ok but not perfect, I can tell the injectors aren't up to snuff and was going to replace them but this kit is just a little over the price of one new injector. Thanks bud, hope the family's doing good.

Tool came, just did the cleaning, i did not unhook the fuel line i clamped it off with the provided tool

started engine and pulled fuel pump fuse left engine run dead

hooked the tool into the fuel rail service port with provided adapter

added fluid to the tank and screwed into tool

added air pressure and adjusted to 40psi at tool

started the engine and left it run, i did run it hi rpm some, engine did not want to come off idle with the fluid so not sure if its the fluid or the psi i was using on the air, once off idle it ran fine at 3k rpm, at the end i flooded it messing with gas pedal , at this point i undid the tank and it was almost empty so disconnected the system and put back the pump fuse

since i flooded it or whatever happened i had a hell of a time getting the truck to restart, ended up having to crank with foot on gas some and it finally started and cleared out

seems to idle smoother now so time will tell , once temp drops for morning start and a few tanks fuel for the mileage

Looks like pump pressure is 65 psi so i dont know if my cleaning will have been effective at 40psi even though that video was done at 30psi
