I need a political solution to my racist fuel injection problem

[james accordino]

Along the lines of cleaning injectors, did ANYONE ever
see this tool?  I worked for a time at European
Imports on Rt. 10 East in Whippany, NJ.  They had a
tool that worked like this.  You screwed the injector
onto a fitting.  Attached to that was a chamber filled
with a cleaning solution.  I don't know what the
solution was exactly.  There is a lever that's a hand
pressure pump.  When you pump the lever you pressurize
the cleaning solution and force it through the
injector.  The injector is aimed into a clear tube, so
you can watch the spray pattern as you go.  It worked
really well.  I literally watched horrible injector
regain beautiful cone shapes within 1 minute of
starting.  This device had a label on it, so it was a
commerically manufactured device.  Size was about 3-4
inches wide, 16-18 inches long and about a foot high.
This was more than 10 yrs. ago and I didn't much care
about work OR import cars at that time.
