Cleaned my injectors today!
So I took off all 4 injectors today and cleaned them on the machine and now the car runs so good. It revs up soooo much faster than it did before and it runs much smoother. I never thought it would make suck a difference! Everyone should take your injectors to get professionally cleaned or do it yourself if you have access to machinery.
One problem, now car won't idle, I have to hold it on w/the throttle. Anyone know what could cause this idling issue?
Thanks.

Huh... I'm jealous, lol. I had some injectors cleaned a while back and I didn't notice anything.
Good deal.
I agree on the vac. leak causing the lack of idle. Spray 'carb-cleaner' around the engine bay and if the idle rises than you've found a leak.
Did you make sure to reuse the rubber O-rings for the injectors? If the seal isn't tight then you'll have some problems.
Regardless, this does sound like a major vac. leak. Try the carb-cleaner spray trick.

Hi, El Paso person ![Smilie](https://www.rx7club.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Where did you get your injectors cleaned? It'd be nice to be able to drive down there and have it done so I won't have to wait for shipping and stuff.

Ok, I went out to check for vaccuum leaks and it turns out I forgot most of them, you see I was working on putting it back together really late at night. haha! I missed a big one by th MC, pressure regulator, one of the actuator ones, a couple above the oil sender, one from CC, and a couple others, plugged them in and car runs perfect now, I can't believe I forgot all that, I even forgot to tighten the two UIM bolts on the driver's side. Thanks guys.

I just got my injectors back from cleaning at www.witchunter.com
They did an excellent job.
$15 per injector, with free return shipping on 4 or more.
before I sent them out the injectors were all rusted & the red plastic was faded.
They cleaned up nicely,.. the metal parts media blasted to remove rust, the o-rings, pintle caps & screens replaced. And they somehow un-faded the red plastic tops!
after that they passed the flow checks:
; Leak Test, Spray Pattern, Static Flow, & Pulsed Flow @2500rpm..
The printout says they were within 6.3% of 550 cc/min before the cleaning & within 0.7% off after the cleaning.
Two of them run 542 cc/min @ 43.5 psi.
and the other two run 544 cc/min @43.5 psi.
