Default Cleaning Injectors

I read somewhere that a guy cleaned his injectors with Seafoam thru a vacuum line. I can't find the post. Can any one tell me which vacuum line to use? Or Post a Picture. I have a miss on my #4 cylinder, the plugs,wire & distributor cap & rotor have been changed. I've poured injector cleaner into the fuel tank several times ,but no effect. This would be the lkast resort before replacing the injectors.
Thanks

You can't clean the injectors via a vacuum line, the 2 systems are not connected in that way...
Running the Seafoam through your gas tank will clean the injectors...
Running the Seafoam through a vacuum port will clean your intake...
It may take several tank fulls to do it this way but it does work... Dependending on the mileage you have it may be worth having them cleaned professionally...

A couple of bottles of Techron will also work...
I add a bottle of Techron every couple of months to a tank...

A quick Google search shows about $19 a bottle and lots of listings on EBay...might check BG products site for local retailers in your area.... Do let us know how it works for you if you decide to try it.

Never ceases to amaze me the number on folks that haven't heard of Google.
