1989 Nissan 240SX 212,000 miles(yeah, she's still going): I've come to the conclusion that my fuel injectors either need to be replaced or cleaned. Since it's so expensive to replace all the injectors [b:6d4a6b3216]is there any way to clean them yourself in a cost effective way?[/b:6d4a6b3216]

Get them to a shop where they can bench-clean them. Be sure to replace the rubber o-rings.

its cheaper that way than try to do it yourself, they use ultrasonic and pressured chemicals.

loock around for a shop capable of doing that and compare prices, here at Los Angeles area charge around 10 dollars a piece.

Have the fuel injectors professionally bench-cleaned with ultrasonic cleaning and pressurized chemicals, and replace the rubber o-rings. Compare local shop prices; professional cleaning is typically cheaper than DIY cleaning or replacing all injectors.
