<x-charset iso-8859-1>A clogged injector will run CONSISTANTLY lean.. it wont change or come and go. the FI cleaner isnt the problem but a rusty tank from a cracked or missing overflow hose will plug up new filters in record time. If the fuel lines havent been changed in over 10 years its time to change them anyway, dissect the old filter... see what if anything is plugging it.
