cleaning fuel injectors

[flair1111]

my 06 lib is coming up on 75k. i want to clean the fuel injectors whether it needs it or not. i imagine it cant be 100% clean. and it has had just a bit of rough idle in the last 15k miles. not much, but it isnt smooth like it used to be when new. i plan on also cleaning the throttle body

any advice or good reads i can go to to help me out here. if at all possible id like to take the injectors out and manually clean/inspect them. if so...what do i use to clean them and how? soak??

Something like in the link below is needed,otherwise remove and ship them to a specialty company for cleaning,not a DIY thing for max effect way beyond what you can pour in the gas tank.

You could try some "Techron Fuel Injector Cleaner" first and see if that does anything. I usually use it about once a year. Put it in before a highway trip and run it. Other than that you could check the throttle body to see if it needs a cleaning. If you clean it try not to soak the sensors too much or they might act up. Might need a plug change if you havn't done that.
