are injectors easy to get to see if they are dirty?

Uh, no they are not. If unsure run two large bottles (treats 20 gallons) of Chevron Techron through two tanks of fuel. If idle, performance, and overall performance are better afterwards they were dirty. If not then they weren't.

The reason i ask is because the dealership had it for 15 min and called and said they needed to be cleaned, for 130.00. I didn't think anything could be uncovered on an accord in that record time.

This is a big thing for many dealers....they like to include it as normal maintenance, almost like rotating your tires! Unless you’ve got a problem you want them to cure that *could* be dirty injectors, don’t ever fall for their scam. (that said, if they are dirty, their cleaning procedure DOES actually work…the point is they are doing and recommending it when you don’t need it)
