I suggest you purchase 2 cans of Seafoam FI cleaner and follow the directions on the cans. Can be purchased at most auto parts stores. If that does not work you may have to remove the injectors and have them professionally cleaned.
It's fuel injected and has no carburetor. Use a quality fuel injector cleaner such as Seafoam or Techron poured into the fuel tank every 6 months to keep the injectors clean.
The average cost to clean fuel injectors is about $150. Fuel injectors are used to deliver fuel into an internal combustible engine.
Clean fuel injectors are important in keeping an engine running smoothly. To clean the fuel injectors a person can take them out, clean them off, and by adding a cleaning agent to the gas tank to clean them from the inside out.
Clean the injectors
Use a Vacuum.
Gasoline will not dissolve the carbon deposits that clog the injectors but it will cause your engine to not start.
Right ontop of the starer. you can remove and clean but you probably are going to have to remove intake manifold and clean all the carbon. check engine on my 2000 Honda accord v6 came on. codes read not enough air flow, change egr valve. removed and it really wasnt dirty. Honda tech adviced to clean intake manifold. problem fixed.
A mix of 50% clean water and 50% antifreeze is recommended in most climates. Add only when engine is cold.
If you use turtle wax it will clean it up pretty good if it from the outside of theheadlights
easiest way to clean injectors is to purchase a good (not cheap) injector cleaner, and add to you fuel tank. from experience, i double dose the amount first time round, then add correct amount to fuel about once a month. this will keep injectors clean and will not damage engine
I've used both Seafoam and Lucas with great results. I've also heard Techron is very effective, and even STP. Pouring whatever cleaner you choose into the TB will NOT clean your injectors. A FI engine doesn't work that way. It MAY help clean carbon build up in the intake, but it won't do anything for the injectors. There are several articles on various Honda forums on how to use Seafoam to clean your intake. To clean your injectors, simply pour your chosen cleaner into the fuel tank. Fill the tank to ensure mixing, and drive the car. I wouldn't refuel until you get to 1/4 tank or less. Professional shops do offer fuel injector cleaning services. These vary in effectiveness. If you go the professional route, I'd stick with a Honda dealer, or an aftermarket Honda shop. Try using Seafoam. Pour it lightly into your throttle body and then take the car out for a spin at wide open throttle. You will get a ton of smoke, but that's normal.
Yes, it is possible to clean one throughly and not have to replace it. Give it a try, as you have nothing to loose.
