What is wrong with your injectors? Slight leaking? Try some Techron first and it does wonders, especially to warn start issues.

Hehe Prof, nothing wrong, I just want to learn how to clean it. Thank you.

Here are two documents about removing/installing injectors.

If I were you, I would not touch them. Any job has some risk. If your injectors are fine, then just run some Techron through periodically. I usually add it to the tank just before oil change.

Ditto to loubapache about the Techron. I add a large bottle (20 oz. to treat up to 20 gallons) every 3000 miles as Chevron recommends. On my other cars, that is right before an oil change. Of course with the MB, that is 3 times between changes. I have had Blackstone Labs analyze my oil a couple of times and they have never found a trace of any fuel additive.

Congratulations loubapache!.

Did you find any cracks in the conductor plate?. In my case, I found that the black plastic over the speed sensor was cracked.

I do not see cracked plastic. It was wet with ATF and it is in a plastic bag. My money is on one of the pivoting connector on the plate that support the weight of the two sensors. It is like you are holding a fishing pole and where your hand is has a lot of stress so I think that connection may have broken but that would require breaking the plastic to see it.

Someday, I will take it out and do some electric measurements to see what is going on.

Did you by any chance see the new plate before they installed? The design is different in the supporting arms for the sensors.

[99w210]

I did not see the new conductor plate before the install. Not sure about the design changes.

This is one crazy stuff. This is a challenge and will be a challenge when the time comes for my mb to act crazy. In the meantime, I will have to change tranny oil every 30k and at this moment, I have 14k more to go.

The .PDF file doesn't work any longer? Says damaged file.

Any help.
