iNJECTOR CLEANER

I also used a whole bottle of the stuff in through the cruise controll vacuum line. My car smoked a lot and tried to bog down a few times. I only put in a little at a time and reved my car to about 3 grand and smoked up my whole street. The CEL came on, probably because the car was missing a little while I was running this stuff through. It settled out and the CEL went off a little later. The car seems to run a little smoother. I have been running high ocatane gas for the last 9K miles or so. but the previous 40K were all low octane miles. This is why I decided to give this product a try. I recommend it. It's less than six dollars here.
 
Dont laugh

NOOB WARNING

I just added this stuff to my intake manifold through my PCV hose, but the weird thing was that I could not find the PCV at first at all. I looked at over the engine, even on the emissions sticker thing, and then I did a search and found out that the PCV is under the plastic engine cover on the MSP. I know Noob mistake


So....If anybody is a noob, like me, doing this and has a MSP make sure you take over the plastic engine cover or you so you can get to the PCV valve.

My check engine light came on to during the injector cleaning. How many miles did you go before it turned its self off. I have gone about 15 miles since the injector cleaning and its still on. Did you eventually reset the ECU?
 
actually....stalling the car is a good thing. U let the vacuum source suck the s*** out of the liquid...then let it stall. let the motor sit for about 10 mins and start er up. It might be hard but it will work. This step will help clean the combustion chamber. I've been to a few seminars about these things when i used to work for Canadian tire/Part source....canadian version of autozone/pep boys

Never mind (yippy) Car fixed itself (check engine went off) last night when I went out. (headbang)
 
Pretty sure it only warns against fuel additives... which I'm not a big fan of anyway.
 
Yeah, but fuel injector cleaner is totally different. I just had my dealership do mine (they used the stuff in the parts shop, the name escapes me right now but its good s***) at 12K miles. Power delivery smoothed out, car drives much better now. Its probably because the car had only been driven 53 miles the whole year it was sitting on the lot before I bought it. All in all, good thing to do and I highly reccomend it every 4-5 oil changes.
 
ok, anyone got a pic of PCV line that has to be submerged??
help a brotha out.

No pic but I'll try and give you an idea.

1)Take off the plastic engine cover, at the back on the valve cover(near the intake mani) is the pcv valve sticking out.

2) There is a vaccum line coming out of the PCV valve that connects to a "T".

I took off one of the vaccum lines coming off the "T", and submerged little by little into the can. (Don't submerged the whole line in there, there is enough suction to suck the fuel injector cleaner out)

Hope that helps
