When I first bought my Sunfire, I used both of those products to try to solve a problem with my fuel gauge being way off.
I'm sure I tried them both in a short period of time, but I can't swear that I used both in the tank at the same time. I sure hope I didn't, because it sounds like it could be a really bad idea. You never know what might happen when you mix chemicals.
I'd try them each in it's own full tank of fuel.
Could be a number of things, you didn't list any specific symptoms but the most common reasons would be related to either the ignition or fuel system. I would recommend starting out by checking the Spark plugs, plug wires, distributor cap and rotor button(not applicable if it's equipped with a distributorless ignition), ignition coil, fuel filter, and running either HEET and some type of injector cleaner through the gas tank. I'd try the HEET and Injector cleaner first, because it's cheapest. Then I'd look at everything else.
First thing I'd do is replace the fuel filter. It's cheap, it's easy (do it yourself) and often makes a world of difference! Also, try running some HEET through the fuel tank to be sure there's no water in there. (Don't buy the cheapest gas in town!) I'd also add some injector cleaner to the fuel tank about once every couple of months. You might want to NOT ad the HEET and the injector cleaner at the same time. Might be a chemical overload ;) Couldn't hurt to replace spark plugs and wires if you haven't done that in a while... or ever. Failing these simple answers, you could have fuel injection problems and/or computer problems which could probably be pinpointed at your local diagnostic center. Keep us informed! inquiring minds and all that. Maybe you can help someone else with your experience, eh?! FriPilot
Might be a clogged injector. Run some injector cleaner through it, or replace the injectors.
too many!!
Fuel injector cleaner that you mix with a tank of gas, doing anything else to your fuel injectors to try to clean them can, and will likely end up damaging the injector itself, or the o ring seals that maintain fuel pressure. I have changed my injectors myself before, and they don't usually come out easily, or without breaking the plastic electric connector. Good old injector cleaner from time to time will do wonders, and keep system running smoothly.
hey, get something called *fuel injector cleaner* im guessing its got a carby. so get your fuel injector cleaner possibly 2 bottles (around 5 bux a bottle) start car. get someone to sit inside and rev it from 1000rpm - anywhere high. when the revvs go up. pour in some injector cleaner. you will get LOTS of smoke from your exhaust. this is normal. to get to your carby. follow your air cleaner to the engine that is your carby. after that let sit idle for a 2 mins. and drive away. 90 % of the time this will fix the problem.
There are many possibilities. You could have clogged injectors, or even an intermittently bad fuel pump. try running injector cleaner through your car. Fill the gas tank to the top and put one bottle of injector cleaner in. Next time you fill up see if it solves the problem. If not, have the injectors cleaned, or the fuel pump and or filter looked at.
The difference between HEET and ISO-HEET: ISO-HEET (which comes in a red bottle) contains isopropanol while HEET Gas-Line antifreeze (which comes in a yellow bottle) contains methanol Both products prevent gas line freeze-up hassles but remove water in different ways.
the injector may be worn off, try replacing the flooded cylinder injector
The way I clean my fuel injector on my old 1998 Ford Expedition XLT the last time was by buying the biggest concentrated bottle of fuel injector cleaner and poor it in the gas tank. Did it for the next two or three fill ups and problem was fix.
It is important to have functioning fuel injectors. A person can unclog their fuel injectors by buying fuel injector cleaner and putting it in their gas tank every time it almost empty.
Don't think you can if it is fuel injected. Get a couple of cans of fuel injector cleaner from AutoZone and put them into the tank one can (bottle) at a time when you fill up the tank.
