    well i read an article on imp[ort tuner saying you really don;t need to clean your injectors at all, that "Seafoam" or other detergents that are suppose to clean your injectors is a bunch of crap. usually gas stations already add cleaners to their gas, becuase it cuts the price down

    Good luck on that man. I just did it with a lot more, I filled up a plastic cup and just let it suck it up slowly. I got some white smoke this time, not too much though. Havn't driven it yet to find out if it worked. My engines not in bad shape to start with so who knows if I'll feel a difference.

    just ran some thru a 1991 camry. got a little greedy with it and stalled the engine while pouring it in. waited the five minutes, it was hesitant to start but it turned over, and white smoke poured out the tail pipe as expected, wasn't to bad. Cant say i notice any increase in power, but idle did seem smoother. And white smoke came out while driving it.

    is it worth it? hmmm depends on the car i suppose.

    Well I did it... it actually sucked down 1/2 a bottle! Didn't know how quick it went. It didn't want to start, but did with a little throttle.... big cloud of smoke.. I took audio of the idle before and after... definatley noticeably less nocking, smoother more consistent idle, less hesitation. Did what it said on the bottle.
    Now I can sell this piece!

    Cool!

    fuel injector basically will do the same thing that this seafoam does.
    yes the "check engine" light will come on for some cars after you do this. all you do is disconnect battery, wait a minute or so and connect again.
