1992 Nissan Maxima mileage: 85,000. I recently took my car for service because it was idling rough and lost power. The mechanic told me three of my fuel injectors were clogged and one is completely out of commission. Should injectors go out on an 8-year-old car with this many miles? Also, could using a fuel-injector cleaner have any results?

It is not uncommon for fuel injectors to fail after 85,000 miles. To prolong the life of new fuel injectors, you should change the fuel filter more often, about every 25,000 miles. Using major brand gasoline will also prolong the life of fuel injectors. Major brand gasoline's have fuel injection cleaner additives in the product, which is sufficient.
