I had that done to my '92 Accord a few years back. The car was still
starting without a itch but had over 60 000 miles on it. The first few
minutes, the engine ran pretty rough but smoothed out nicely.
All I can say is that there was a definite difference in throttle response
when I took off from the garage! Much better!
The only thing, it wasn't nearly as expensive! ISTR that it was around
75$cdn. Although it wasn't performed at the dealer but at a Penzoil Oil
Changers.
Cheers
Steph
