Default I just put fuel injector cleaner into my audi

I feel better today because I have talked to a guy at my work and he has a brand new Kia sorento with 10,000 miles on it. He said he was having the same problems with his car starting and running rough. I told him that my car was doing the same. His Mechanic told him to use fuel injector cleaner to see if it would help. The mechanic told him since Hurricane Katrina, alot of gas stations were running low on fuel. Which means that alot of the cars pumping gas at the stations were getting some water and impurites in there gas clogging the injectors. they mechanic suggested the high octane and a fuel injector cleaner, solved his problem we will see if it solves mine.

Default Not all FI cleaners are created equal.

Most people here have had the best luck with Techron.

Default Techron, BG44K, etc...

All have worked for me in the past.

Default agree with Rus, buy the good stuff at $5-6.00/can..........

Techron is good, so is TL-3 and Lucas in my opinion. The cheap stuff is a waste of time and money. You will start noticing better performance in as little as 25 miles.

Default I bought the big jug of lucas fuel additive... the liter size. Good for about 5 fill ups...

helped the car run smoother and also noticably helped out gas mileage... as did my O2 sensor... Due to traffic, drove a 2 1/2 hour trip through vermont at a normal speed without any aggressive driving and got 28 MPG!...
