hey all

this saturday I ran a bottle of combustion chamber and intake cleaner through the car, was the throttlebody ever dirty...I didnt even remove it tho. I cleaned that out and ran the bottle through till it was almost empty, running the car in bursts of full throttle and half throttle. When that was done, I changed the fuel filter and unplugged the battery overnight to reset the fuel tables. Today it runs way smoother, seems more quiet, restored some power, especially to the higher revvs and its burning noticeably (albeit not a huge amount) less fuel

total cost was $20

give it a try

Sounds really cool, very cost-effective...

you don't have to disconnect the battery over night. a few minutes should do.
