When you pull the fuel rail and injectors out, is it possible to clean the injectors then? Or can injectors only be cleaned from the inside out (through the gas line) ?? I'm trying to get rid of the misfiring I get the first couple minutes I drive the car each day... Thanks... - Jake 1999 Contour SE - Duratec MTX

Ray It won't hurt to try, but you probably won't get any cleaning without running a cleaner through the injectors. I like Techron and Red Line. Jim Johnson 98 SVT 03 Escape Limited
