I was driving my car home today and 5 minutes from my house my car felt like it was going to shut off then jerked and went. It kept doing it for a few minutes then it went away. I want to know if my fuel injector is clogged up and will a cleaner help it.

It doesnt do it all the time. The last time it did it was on Monday morning but it didnt do anything since. I got the catalytic converter changed on saturday cause I thought that was my problem and didnt have any trouble with it till today. I put in fuel cleaner today and when i drove it around it seemed like it wanted to do it again but it didnt. How long does fuel cleaner take to know if it works or not?

You may have an ignition problem, check your plugs, wires, cap and rotor. If your injectors were fouled up that bad it would be more consistent and that stuff you buy in a bottle wouldn't do anything noticeable.

in case you run the tank from complete to close to empty all of the time, you're actually not liable to reason any clogged injector issues. issues happen in case you often put in some gallons at a time particularly than filling the tank. this allows water to condense out of the air interior the tank and come to a decision the backside. under this difficulty, in case you enable the gas point to get low you stand an somewhat solid hazard of figuring out on up crud off the backside of the tank and clogging the injectors.

i own a repair shop,and if it was clogged up,it wouldn't have straitened up,,and ran good again,,it may be a bad fuel filter on it,,but if it is a fuel injector,,you,ll know it because it will do it again,,and real soon,,they usually act up a lot,when their getting clogged up,,drive it a few days,and see if it does it again,,if it does,,you can add some cleaner for the injectors to the gas tank,,and it might help it,,good luck,i hope this help,s.

put a bottle of injector cleaner in the tank about every third time you buy gas.
