Depends on how dirty they are. If they are sticking nothing that you can buy over the counter will work very well. Most over the counter products are just too diluted to fix a problem once it has started, they are designed for preventive maintenance. I would recommend going to a shop that uses a B-G fuel injector cleaning setup. I have seen a car come into the shop with 2 sticking injectors and be hooked up to the B-G machine and within 10 minutes all injectors are working perfectly. Another option is to remove the injectors and take them to a shop that can ultrasonically clean and flow test the injectors. This cost between $20 to $30 per injector. I hope these options help.

If Wal-Mart has a gas station where you are at (Usually called Murphy USA), go there and fill up. There is a little computer where you are at asking if you want a fuel system treatment. Put in yes, and just pump...Just to let you know though, after this, you may want to look into changing your fuel filter...
You cn pull the injectors yourself and clean them. If there are no rubber parts, you can soak them in B12 Chem-tool (found at O'Reilly or AutoZone).

You need an ultrasonic bath for the purpose. Small ones can be bought for cleaning jewellery but they are a bit too weak for fuel injectors. Most decent workshops have them and it's best to give them your injectors- you pay for use of the sonic bath, but you save the cost of pulling them out and it's usually easy.

yeah probably the best way is to got to your autoparts store and buy what they call fuel injector cleaner in a can .you hook up the injectors to the can and unhook them from the gas line. it has enough to run the vehicle for about 10 to 15 minutes.when the car dies hook the gas line back up then start car up and it should be done.

When you put injector cleaner in don't drive it all out on the highway. Do as many short trips as you can to soak and clean as many times as you can.

Yeah, go to your local auto parts store such as Advanced Auto Parts or even NAPA and ask them.
