I had a miss in my back cylinder, after troubleshooting, turns out its a bad/clogged injector. it sprays, but for whatever reason its not spraying enough or consistantly, like its cutting out.

right now im soaking it in lucas fuel system cleaner because its the only thing i had. But what can i use to clean the injector?

Or do i need a new injector? and does anyone have one?

Prolly caused by the NGK plugs.

Sometimes, rust clogs the screen in the injector (Yeah, I know. Plastic tanks blah blah blah. Fuel can be stored in steel tanks before we get it.)

If it's that bad, you can have an injector service clean and flow balance them, but for me, I just jam in new ones. It could just be an injector flat-out going bad, too.
