Hey guys (and gals, if there are any in here),

What is the best fuel injection/intake valve cleaner you have come across? The best three I've come across are Jectron (by Lubro Moly), Chevron Techron, and Red Line SI-1. The Jectron is probably the best just because it is fuel-injection specific (K-Jectronic fuel injection), but I noticed that the Chevron cleaner gave me better driveability than the Red Line Product even though Red Line has an equally good reputation.

While i dont doubt your experence with these
I have used some of the cheaper stuff and never noticed one way or another. other than my car starts and runs.
if you noticed a improvment with the Chevron product I might have to try it.

Yes, but the chevron product is very expensive. 7.99. As far as driveablity is concerned, the Valve Clean by Lubro Moly is the best in my experience. But that particular product is mainly for the valves not the fuel injection. Valve Clean (or Ventil Sauber by its german name) is not too expensive at about 4 bucks a can. What I'll do is throw in a can every once in a while when I fill up.

The best fuel injector cleaner I have found is the Bosch fuel injector cleaning machine... usually found at independant BMW/Volvo/VW service shops.
