So... whats the deal with this? Does the IM, TB, etc really build up enough carbon to call for this treatment? It seems like they type of procedure that can actually do damage.
Thoughts?

Have you looked inside your IM lately? I would say it is worth it... there is a lot of carbon buildup inside the manifold, and Tb area. With the EGR in the vicinity too yeah its dirty.
Sold, but not forgotten. -
it worked really good for me. half in the gas and half through a vac hose in to the intake manifold. got better mpg!
yeah man you've never seen a cars TB when it wasn't taken care of i mean it takes a while for that kind of build up.

wow, I wasnt' expecting such a good response. What intervals should it be used at? I've got about 70k on my engine... time to use it? :P
So, how exactly does it work? Half in the gas and half in the vacume hose? o.O Gas I can see, that'll clean it out pretty well... but the vacume hose? how the frig does that work?Comment

You put it in the brake booster hose.Comment

Goes right into the intake manifold, cnealing out the ports, opening everything back up, and putting it back to a clean surface, over time carbon builds up, and creates a barrier, putting this in the gas, and vac hose removes the cabon, and esentially sends it out the exhaust, it also cleans out your combustion chamber. Its a great tool.Originally posted by mchaley90 Accord EX F22a1 Auto R.I.P.

You can do it as often as you want, i would do it every 12,000 miles at least. If you want to know how to use it just read the can, should tell you how.Comment

might be easier to use the pcv valve hose...the brake booster is a pretty big hose...there are a few vacuum ports you could use that won't pull it all down to quickly...if it pulls to quickly then you kinda waste some
plus you'll kill the engine (I mean it'll sputter and die...not like blow up 
)
just don't put it in your oil...vacuum line ok...oil not okLast edited by bcjammerx; 02-06-2008, 12:06 AM.__

1/3 Gas Tank
1/3 Brake Booster
1/3 Crank case(oil cap)
Let it sit for 5-10minutes, turn the car on and drive real hard, like flooring it, to clear out the carbon.
Oil Change is very important, all that built up carbon gets stuck in the oil, running this very very dirty oil for too long will screw up your engine, it's in the instructions.
