Oh ya i forgot that i had this problem at one time... it was really simple to fix too... HOPEFULLY IT WILL WORK FOR YOU! Ok so we were pouring rice into the intake... Because it acts like a glass bead, and breaks down the solid carbon on the top of the pistons and blows out the exhaust. Well After doing this... my car idled high... REALLY high... So we pulled the throttle body off, cleaned it up real fancy. Put her back on... Still the same... So my friend had the bright idea... Trying to push the butterfly CLOSED. Then he choked it out, Wiggled the throttle cables, (pulling them as if you were CLOSING the TB) And VWOLA! The idle died back down to normal and i strolled along on my merry way! We think by pulling the throttle cables too hard they got stuck open a little and we didnt notice. So HOPEFULLY this works! give it a shot... its free!

It really works, many old school guys doit because it crushes and gets blown out the exhaust, it takes the carbon with it! its kinda like the solid form of sea foam but it takes bigger chunks of carbon out!
