Fuel Injector service?

My 2003 ZO6 has been running a tad rough lately, also sometimes it feels like its cutting out a bit.

Dealrship recommended a "Fuel Injector Service" @ over $200.

Can anyone give me some idea of just what is involved with this servicing? Would it really make much of a difference? Is it something a pretty good local shade tree type mech can do or would it be better to get it done by a dealer?

Thanks in advance.

For half of that cost you can send them and have them clean and flowed on a bench. Do a search for witchunter. I think it's about $15 an injector.

Heck, some places will do it for $10 an injector.

You could also run some injector cleaner thru the fuel, or even dump some Sea Foam in the gas tank. That will clean out any build up, carbon deposits from the whole car.

Maybe you need a new set of plugs and wires.
