I'll take a picture later of what line to use coming off the brake booster. If you get the spray can, you can put it through the throttle body. For putting it in the gas tank, you put a certain amount per gallon of fuel present. The instructions are on the can and their website.

don't worry about the picture! I was in the store getting seafoam and they told me to try the STP fuel system cleaner. ($4.99). It smoothed the idle right out. I'll still change the fuel injectors next week because the check engine light came on and said cylinder 2 was misfiring (because of a clogged injector). It seems to have fixed the issue! I just wish I had tried it up front. Spent $250+ Diagnosing the issue. haha

Oh well, as long as it runs well I don't care

Thanks Guys!!

hello I am having this same issue and its driving me nuts. I have a 2005 dodge neon sxt and I am getting PO302 coding. the check engine light comes on and off sometimes blinking. At one point I had the shop read the coding and I was also getting an o2 sensor replacement code. Just recently I realized that my horn was not working and now the ac has stopped to. Not sure if this is all an electrical issue or not because mine is also idling rough at stop signs and red lights and that seems to be when the check engine light comes on. Did changing your fuel injectors do any good?

the idling in my car returned after a bit, i'm going to replace the fuel injectors soon. They may be just too gunked up. I'm having similar check engine light issues like you are, intermittent on/off and blinking. When i had the code pulled it said there was a misfire in cylinder two, which is going to be the first injector i replace. My AC and horn works fine though- sounds like you may have a short somewhere.

also- if anyone has a recommendation for cleaning fuel injectors i'm all ears as I won't be able to replace it until i get paid next week.

I pulled one at the car junkyard for $6-$8. The car fired up right away.

If you are planning to keep your car for long, buy a new one.
