Most any good injector cleaner will work. One can is probably enough, but two would not hurt.
And yes, it does help. It may not clean as well as tearing the manifolds off, but it is a lot cheaper and easier. It will make a noticable difference in how the engine runs.
Plus you wont have the problem with misfiring or rough idle problems like some of us have had.
1 rebuild turrned into-> new plugs, new wires= 160 bucks, granted i upgraded to Magnecores tho.

thanks, I keep reading the rebuild FAQ but I need to gather all the gaskets, tools and spare parts to attempt it and it hasn't come across me yet. Before September hits, I'll do a partial rebuild of the UIM simply because I don't want to engage the whole thing yet.

I just did my upper and lower removal and clean tonight, i found for the vac lines all i did was removed the one right from the brake booster, and removed the other one form the rubber end at near the firewall, didnt worry about the clips on the manifold. I did the complete job in approx 5 hours, i would say 85% of that time was cleaning. Oh yeah I have around 145,000 km on my car.
