Yes, I was driving to the store and it started to flood a few blocks from the store, so I just turned off the gas until it started to die, then turned it back on, and the dirt got flushed out.
Back in the 80's I was driving my diesel Rabbit and it started to miss on one cylinder. I figured a speck of dirt must be in the injector, so I figured the easiest thing to try to get it out would be to put a full load on the engine. There was a hill just ahead, so I drove slow to the hill then floored it all the way up the hill. At the top of the hill the engine was running fine again. This sure beat having to remove the injector and taking it apart.
