My car has a bad skip in it when I take off. What is the best way to clean the injectors?

Injectors have to be chemically pressure cleaned and even then, they do not always come clean. Many shops have system that will have the engine run on a chemical out of a container. They can also be removed and sent out. Most of the time you are better off just isolating the bad one and replacing it.

You could even have a ignition issue. I would say that is probably more likely. Have you checked for codes in the computer yet?
