Injectors - Request Advise

Hi All,

It looks like I have worked my way out of things that need to be done on my 1984 300D and am moving towards PM issues. My car has 140K miles on it now and I bought it 2 years ago with 107K miles. For the last 10 years prior to my purchase, it was driven about 1000 miles per year.

Right now, the idle is very good and I don't have any specific injector, power, or fuel issues but I want to get them tested as I would like to make sure I have a good spray pattern and I would imagine they probably need to be cleaned at the least. I have started recently adding two-stroke oil with fuel fillups.

In doing these types of things, I tend to have a long-term viewpoint and am more apt to just get the whole thing taken care of in one round so I don't have to revisit this issue in the future.

I am looking for advise from people who have already been down this route.

Should I:

- keep driving the car until there are injector-related issues
- pro-actively rebuild all of the injectors (I have heard issues with quality of nozzles, etc.)
- replace individual injectors or rebuild on an as needed basis
- DIY or take to an injector shop?

Thanks,

Dkr.
