Default combustion chamber cleaner video

Well I finally got around to cleaning my combustion chamber and I think I fried a O2 sensor doing it because the check engine light is now on. Here's a video clip of it happening

Looks like you were revving it pretty high when you sprayed it in. The directions say to let it almost idle and if it starts to stall out give it a LITTLE throttle. I did the same thing you did and I don't think it worked as good as if its at a lower RPM.

It was at idle whileI was spraying it in, this video is after waiting for 10-20 minutes.

The stuff works good. We used to call it "tune up in a can" you can actually see the effects on a scope.
It works best if you spray it in a hot engine while idling 3/4 of the can, the shut off engine then pour last 1/4 down intake and let it sit 3-4 hours then go for a drive on the highway to clean out all the gunk.

some people will argue this stuff can weaken the plenum gasket

You probably didn't kill your O2 sensor most likely just set a misfire code

So my O2 sensor isn't bad, when I started my truck up monday afternoon to go to work, the check engine light was off so I'm guessing it stayed on as long as it did because stuff was still coming out a few hours after I did it. I can also tell that there's a slight improvement in the performance of my truck. Nothing big like adding a intake or something that would add power but it feels like the engine does have to push as hard to go as fast as i want it to now...if that makes any sense.

The stuff is call, combustion chamber cleaner and I bought mine from the dodge dealership in town. And yes, spray it directly into the tb.

I have found that if you add one third the spray can to the driver's side of the intake manifold's vacuum nipple connections, then add another third to the vacuum nipples on the passenger side, the engine doesn't stall out as easily.

Then use the last third of the spray can into the IAC port to clean it.

'Chrysler Combustion Chamber Conditioner'
part number 04318001,
which usually costs about $6 per spray can.

This brown foaming product is superior to Sea Foam
