NOS injector cleaner? any good?

hey guys, ive been told that the yellow bottle of NOS injector cleaner is well worth the 25 bucks.. just wondering what you guys reackon? waste? or worth it?

depends how your injectors are running in the first place.. how many Ks are you getting per tank?
average depending on how heavy your foot is 300-400.
then again it cant hurt to try it once as its only 25bucks.

if your trying to save fuel,
ive just replaced both oxygen sensors with NTK (NGK)..
without hitting reserve tank i was getting 340 before.. atm im sitting on 420 and i still have a bit to go

yea, ive got a vr theres only one oxy sensor on it, and its replaced, i get about 350k a tank now with quiet a lead foot, prolly get more like 450 if i drove sensible.. the main issue is idling.. its rough, some times changing gears (from reverse to drive) it hesitates and sum times it stalls and a missfire at idle, ive cleaned throttle body, replaced iac valve (helped a fair bit) changed gaskets, service (filters oil changes coolant etc) i got it a brand new battery and a reco'd alternator, new fuel pump, pressure regulator, one coil replaced on the coil pack, so im thinking it maybe to do wif injectores as i havent done anything to these yet

might be better to take them out and have them cleaned, better results too.
A few of mine where 60% blocked when i did it few months back. :S

Should only cost about $120 including labour, as long as you don't need new injectors and ect. Read my first post in this thread. :thumbsup:

Hi Guys

when you replaced your O2 sensors, was there any indication that they had failed? my economy is sub 400 with a light foot, but the computer says everything is okay. i don't know wheter or not to fork out for two O2 sensors or clean the injectors first...

my computer said everything was fine and was using 16lt/100k, replaced the oxygen sensor and fuel filter and getting about 12lt/100 now
