buy a tank of supreme and add a can of B-12 chem tool to the tank, also a tune up wouldnt hurt either. get an additional can of b-12 and add that to the oil, run for 5 min and drain(when you do change the oil)it will help remove all the carbon build up

Follow the directions off the bottle of "Sea Foam", found in any auto parts store. Run it through the vaccum line, coming off of the brake booster, into the intake manifold.

ORIGINAL: virused

Follow the directions off the bottle of "Sea Foam", found in any auto parts store. Run it through the vaccum line, coming off of the brake booster, into the intake manifold.
Sea foam cleans the intake manifold, intake runners, valves, pistons, catalytic converter, and O2 snesors, but JUST the tips of the injector. To go the whole 9 yards, take some throttle body cleaner and clean out the inside of the throttle body. With the vehicle off, take the air intake tube off and have someone hold down the accelerator. Spray the throttle bore and the throttle plate. Then for the intank addative, I use lucas upper cylinder lubrication and a little bit of their regular fuel injection system cleaner. (yes I mix them)

STP is good. In fact I used it the other day for the O2 sensor. Cleaned it off very well.
