Just wondering whats the best thing to clean manafold while I have it off changing Knock Sensor, will Dishsoap hurt it ? ( Dawn Dishsoap )

 

Dish soap is fine, but I found chemtool b12 carb cleaner to be the best along with a toilet bowl brush and a set of engine cleaning brushes to scrub it out. Also, if you have the egr hooked up, you can use a long thin steel tube (forget the diameter) to scrape all the junk out.

 

Thanks gsp4life I will check that out , It has over 200 k on the motor, I'm going to put in new fuel injectors what is a good brand ?

 

What are the ohms on the Fuel injectors suppose to read ? the ones I took out read 13 ohms

 

Someone else 'll have to help you on that one. I just had my old injectors cleaned and tested at the machine shop. It cost $85 and they came out great.

 

The spec is 13.4-14.2 ohms.

 

Thanks , 91bluerunner for the specs where did you find that info ? I looked in a few Manuels and couldn't find it ?

 

Alldata.com it's a pay site I have access to as a mechanic.

 

I used oven cleaner to clean my 22re intake manifold and it worked amazingly good. You have to remove all sensors and electronic parts first and you cant let the cleaner sit too long in the manifold or it will start to eat away the aluminum.

 

One of my fuel injector Holder Grommets broke it was dry and just cracked around the top edge and came of ,like everyone has said this stuff is getting expensive , how hard are they to find for a 95 DLX excab 4x4 ?

 

If I didn't say it before thanks everyone for all your help

 

I think Rock Auto sells connectors. I get my connectors from http://www.connectorsfast.com/

 

Did the electrical connector or rubber insulator break? If it was just the rubber (probably seems more like crumbly hard plastic by now) then you'll get a new set along with the injectors anyway. You never want to reuse fuel gaskets, even copper o-rings should be replaced every time.
