Just a quick note guys. John Hervey cleaned the injectors for my former car as well as Andy Grums DeLorean. I think Andy had maybe 1 that needed replacing and mine all came out great with only one that was just barely under spec but VERY REUSABLE (75% pattern on the one and FULL SPRAY on the other 5.) If I had the money I woulda replaced both injector sets because I love new parts however, when you're in a financial pinch cleaning the injector set is an economical and AFFORDABLE alternative. It's AMAZING how clean these rusted injectors come back. Both sets looked okay but were pretty brown with medium surface rust but no pitting. They looked brand new when I got them back (both sets) and the cars ran FANTASTIC.
