Anyone know what brand fuel injector cleaner the mechanics use to flush the system. I watched them do it at juffy lube, but couldn't see what they used for cleaner. I wonder if its over the counter stuff or some high potency stuff???

We do it where I work, but it's a more complete system clean. It's not over the counter stuff. It involves chemicals through the air induction and fuel system. It's not really a flush at all, just allot of powerful detergents to clean out deposits and carbon buildup.
Let's just pretend I didn't grow up, or you're going to be terribly disappointed.

Try usin' SeaFoam, or B&N cleaner.
Use a whole can before you fill up though.

STP Fuel Injection cleaner and STP Throttle Body spray is all you need. Or you can go with other brands, they're all similar.

JiffyLube charges like $95 for this service, it's ridiculous.
