Fuel Injector Maintenance
What (if any) is your fuel injector maintenance protocol?
How many miles/years do you have on your fuel injectors?
In those miles/years, how often (if ever) have you had them professionally cleaned? Replaced?
Do you use fuel injection cleaner? What kind? How often?

well, the strongest injector cleaner and your best bang-for-the-buck is redline si-1 injector cleaner. it has the highest concentration of polyetheramine (PEA) and it's what i recommend. use it every 10k miles and you should be OK.

I'll have to try this next for preventative maintenance I have been running the Lucas with some decent but unverified results. Still working on the Lucas gallon so it will be a while still.

322,700 on the original injectors. Never touched. I typically dump a bottle or two of Techron in every year. That's it. Starts, runs and stops like it did in 2001.

I had my injectors serviced at 160k trying to get rid of a miss at idle that wasn't throwing a missfire code. Here's a link to the company. http://www.rceng.com/Fuel-Injector-Cleaning-P43C0.aspx
There was an improvement after cleaning. But the true cause was the coil packs.

I'm currently running a can of Seafoam through the tank and some through the crankcase which has worked well for me in the past but I had no specific complains from my injectors – just doing some spring cleaning. I'm looking into and will probably try out Royal Purple's cleaner:
I am very impressed with RP's products and the reviews are outstanding for that specific product.
