You completely waste the injector cleaner. It has to flow through the ports which supply fuel to the engine to do its job. That's why the directions tell you to put it into the gas tank in a certain ratio to gas. It mixes with the fuel in the tank, flows through the system and out of the injector ports.

No, it has a throttle body. The throttle unit resembles a carburetor except that there is no fuel bowl, float or metering jets. The fuel is sprayed directly into the throttle bore by an injector.

Where is the gas jets on your Saturn car 1993?
Your Saturn has no carburetor and therefore has no gas jets. All 1993 Saturn's are Fuel Injected. The S1 is Throttle Body Fuel Injected, (TBFI). On TBFI you will see what looks like a carburetor.

Sequential, in which injection is timed to coincide with each cylinder's intake stroke.
