First of all, what makes you think your injectors are clogged? this is a very, very rare problem. The best thing to do is check your fuel pressure with a fuel pressure tester. If it is low, change your fuel filter. If it is still low, change your fuel pump.What size bolts do I use to mount my engine to my engine stand?
put injector cleaner in a tank of gas...can be bought at ANY store these days...STP etc...How much does it cost to fix the gas gauge?
If you want to know where they are, then take it to a mechanic who knows what they're doing and have them take the engine apart and show you...(don't do it yourself...if you don't know what injector cleaner is, I doubt that you know much about your SUV's engine..)

before i would start thinking injectors are clogged, i would first suggest starting with the fuel filter. rarely will injectors just plug up. so change the filter first add some good injector cleaner to a full tank of fuel. As for where the injectors are depends on if it is throttle body injected or multipoint. on TBI systems it is dead center of the intake manifold under a breather. usually there are two of them side by side. on a multipoint they are on the sides of the intake going into the cylinder head. if your bravada is a 6cyl. then you will have 3 on each side. u can usually tell which is an injector by looking for a small1/2 diam. tube or such running the length of the intake then look for 3 small cylindrical objects with an electrical hook up. worst case scenerio is that maybe you have a dead injector requiring replacement.Is it Rocket fuel in 1st stage burns cleaner than Gasoline''whatever it was? how about green gas?
depending on the year of your bravada, the injectors are under the intake manifold, you wont be able to see them without taking the upper intake manifold off. normally theyre cleaned using GMs top engine cleaner, available at the dealership, and a special tool is used to pressurize the cleaner and push it through the injectors. you can have this service performed at a dealer for about 1 hour labor plus a can of top engine cleaner, which should run somewhere in the $20 range.DO NOT let them charge you $160+ or whatever for the 'special menu price' injector flush that will use an aftermarket (not approved by GM) injector flush solution.
Is it necessary to rotate tires when your car is all wheel drive?
an alternative, you can start using gasoline that has an additive like techron (like chevron or texaco) and your injectors wont get clogged.
Whats the difference between snap-on tools and Blue Point?
it ISNT a rare problem, its quite common and is caused by deposits that are inherent to gasoline.
in any event, MAKE SURE its your injectors before you start spending money on repairs.
Bravada with the 4.3 liter Vortec v6 engine. Injector clogging is common. If you live in California, It is under Factory warranty for 10 years and up to 200,000 miles. there is also a conversion available and should be done if the injectors are clogged. The conversion is from Central SFI to MFI Conversion.
So If you live in California and its a California 50 state emissions vehicle, Take it to the dealer for a free injector cleaning and or replacement. If they find out that the problem is injector related, even the diagnostic charge is covered, but if its something else, they will charge you for the diagnostic labor and any thing else, but must get your approval first. All other states this warranty does not apply.
