I think you should get injector cleaning fluid. Its available on car accessory shops. You're supposed to pour it into a full tank of petrol and it ought to do its job. I know someone who used it and said it made a real difference so you can check it out.

Is your car causing any problems?

cleaning injectors of d16w9 is easier thingy as they r easy to pop out.
Using these fluids are not good for Spark plugs.U will need power supply aswell to operate the injectors when they removed frm the engine and hence u can spary petrol or such chemicals avaialable for injector cleaning

EFI cars have pressurized fuel which is supplied to the engine through fuel injectors. Fuel injector is an electrically controlled valve that delivers precise amount of pressurized fuel into the combustion chamber.

Every time we turn off our car's engine, the last drop of petrol evaporates on the pintle of the fuel injector and leaves behind varnish and other deposits. Heat in the chamber bakes the fuel residues and makes it stubborn to remove. This gunk collects on the pintle and makes the pores in the nozzle narrow for the fuel to pass, and over time it results in injector clogging and leaking. The pintle caps are constantly exposed to fuel evaporation which leaves behind a powdery residue and affects the spray pattern. Dirty or clogged injectors make an engine go down on power, increase fuel consumption, produce pollution and make the engine wear faster.

The injector manufacturers claim that the fuel injectors are fairly sturdy mechanisms and don't fail very easily. They only get dirty after some time. Proper cleaning can restore their like-new performance. There is no need to replace fuel injectors again and again unless they are actually gone bad. Unfortunately injectors are designed in such a way that they are not very convenient to clean. Ultrasonic cleaning is internationally accepted MOST effective process for cleaning fuel injectors.
