In my search to solve my lean air fuel problem, there was talk on a car show on the radio.
The host said that a motor with carbon buildup can cause a lean fuel mixture as the carbon sucks up the gas like a sponge.
I got a can of Seafoam and sucked up some through the PCV.
Boy did it SMOKE after I started it.
The motor must of been full of carbon as it didn't smoke like this the last time I Seafoamed it.
With the price of gas, the wife hasn't done much hwy driving so most of her trips have been a mile or less, intown driving thus the carbon build up.
Seafoam can do more than just clean your motor, it can find exhaust leaks.
The exhaust pipe to manifold gasket is leaking, again.
I like to use BG44K but its hard to find in WI.
That stuff works great on carbon.
I just ran a can of Toyota FI cleaner throught the tank. It must not work on carbon.
The repair shop does carbon cleaning with a machine and charge about $120.
Does having a shop use their machine do any better than Seafoam or BG44K?
