Hello it's Alimek. In today's video, we will be cleaning fuel injectors on this 2019 Nissan Kicks
and what is special about this procedure, I'm not gonna remove the fuel injectors and clean
them individually. Here's the procedure and how it's gonna work. I will be removing fuel line and
then connect my DIY adapter and run the carb with a can of carb cleaner instead of gas. This way it
will run the engine and absorb the carb around the fuel injectors and also inside the fuel injector
as well. We all know that carb cleaner is much better than gas when it comes for dissolving
carbs but that one was another fuel injector for test, this one's still untouched. So you will need
a can of carb cleaner or a choke cleaner. Make sure to get the biggest can you can find so you
can have more pressure and more run time which in result it will be more cleaning. So for making one
of these DIY adapters, you will need a straw that comes with a spray can and we need to glue the
straw inside a piece of hose that's the same inner diameter as the fuel line. The glue I'm
using is a CA glue, it comes with a glue and activator and that is what I'm gonna use. A hose
clamp will be needed for the other side of the hose so the pressure of the carb cleaner won't push
it out. Alright few sprays of the activator first, it will make the glue harden up inside the hose
before it runs while I hold the straw in the center and then I will fill the rest with the
and let it cure and harden up. Alright we got everything we need, let's get on the engine so I
can show you where to connect this DIY adapter. Here is the fuel line on the fuel injector well,
we can remove that and then connect the DIY adapter so we can run the engine with a carb
cleaner can. Depending on your car's model, you're gonna have to remove the fuel line, in my case it
doesn't need any special tool just a flat screwdriver and then it pops out and if you leave your car
over the night, you're not gonna have any fuel pressure, otherwise you need to pull the fuel pump
fuse and crank the engine, it will release all the fuel pressure. I'm gonna quickly remove the wire
harnesses from the fuel injectors and unbolt the fuel rod to take out the whole fuel injectors,
just to show you the condition of the fuel injectors, you don't have to remove the fuel
injectors like me here, I'm just doing that to show you before and after video so you can see
this method works. I always use this plier or a magnet for taking out the bolts so I don't lose
any. Here are the fuel injectors, we can see there's a good amount of carbon and burned oil
on the fuel injector tips, now we're gonna put it back just like how it is and then do our procedure
and after the procedure, we're gonna take it out and see if it can clean all that carbon and
burned oil on the fuel injector tips. Now let's get back to the fuel rod, inserting the DIY adapter
the one I showed you previously how to make it and then clamp it down. The next step is to disable
fuel pump from running and pumping gas, you can either disconnect the wire harness like me or
pull the fuel pump fuse out, the reason I pull the wire harness out so I can show you when the car is
running on a carb cleaner and the wire harness is removed, but remember for some cars when you pull
the fuel pump fuse out the engine not gonna run because the same fuse is responsible for some
electronics of the engine. Alright the fuel pump is disconnected, here is the DIY adapter on the
fuel rod and here is the fuel line, we're gonna tuck it here, next inserting the straw on a carb
cleaner nozzle and start spraying till it builds up a good amount of pressure and then we're gonna
start up the engine, make sure to push the nozzle on the carb cleaner can so it feeds up and keep
the pressure, here is the fuel pump wire harness disconnected and the engine still running, most of
the times I keep my finger on a carb cleaner nozzle till the can can't provide enough pressure to run
the engine smoothly and then I will stop the engine, be careful when you're removing the straw
from the carb cleaner can because it still pressurized it, wearing eye protection will be
important when you're doing this procedure on your car. Alright the moment of truth, here's how it looks
now, it cleaned a good amount of carbon and burned oil on the fuel injector tips but the outside of
the fuel injector tips are not important but it is a good indicator that inside the nozzles cleaned
up as well and even if the engine didn't start just the engine crank and it will open up the
nozzles and spray cleaner, we just need a contact between the carb and the cleaner and here are the
before and after pictures, we still have some left but the outside is not important like the inside
where it sprays fuel, I recently cleaned fuel injectors on a different car we can see it leaking
fuel and carb trapped inside and not letting the solenoid close properly but after a few sprays it
got better and not leaking fuel, alright we are almost done here, let's remove the diy adapter
and then put the fuel line back on the fuel rod, next fuel pump wire harness and closing the lid
now we can put the seat back on, alright we are done here let's start the engine, you might
experience a late startup because the fuel line is not pressurized till it pressurizes it will
take some time but you will have that only the first time, I previously cleaned my Toyota Camry's
fuel injectors without removing with using O2's C100 kit canister, with this one you will fill the
canister with a cleaner and use sharp air to pressurize the system but with a carb cleaner
it's already a cleaner and pressurizer so it's the same procedure but on a budget
and that was how to clean fuel injectors without removing with using a can of carb cleaner
