Cycle For Fun and Health
There are numerous posts on YouTube in which different authors claim the best and worst cleaning solutions for fuel injectors, fuel tanks and pumps.
I do not personally believe that much is necessary if you drive enough to where the fuel is not being evaporated from your tank and use a Top Tier fuel.
However, there are some products that just seem to get some good ratings from many authors.
Marvel Mystery Oil is one that seems to be fairly popular for cleaning and lubricating the entire fuel system. Put some in the fuel tank occasionally if it soothes your mind.

If e85 is available in your area run a couple tanks of that. This helps for two reasons; 1. It's a solvent (and the most common ingredient in most injector cleaners anyway). 2. Because it takes more fuel to operate the engine it will cycle the injectors more causing a better flush of the injectors.
My smog tech also swears by Chevron with Techron every tank before a smog if your vehicle is questionable. If you don't have a chevron gas station then you can buy it by the bottle at many auto parts stores and/or Walmart.
While you're at the auto parts store, buy a can of CRC MAF cleaner and clean your MAF sensor. Make sure you let it dry before hooking it back up and driving. Not saying this will help your problem, but it's good maintenance IMO.
