[Shop-talk] induction system cleaning

[Jack Brooks]

I vote for water mist too, it's worked for me over the years.  Lots of folks
seem to be happy with Seafoam, pulled into the manifold through a vacuum
port, often the power brake line.  The key is to find a vacuum line that
will allow the cleaning fluid to be pulled evenly in to all cylinders.
There seems to be a push towards not allowing solvent cleaners to run amuck
over your hot wire metering system.

Hey Matt,
Where in GA are you?
As for the intake / upper engine cleaners, most work.
Then again, a mist of water into the intake with the idle set up a little
works too, for less money.
May depend on how heavy/thick the carbon is.

Anyone have an opinion on the value of an induction system cleaning?  I have
seen the canister based systems that inject a solvent into the airstream as
well as machines that do the same.  What says the group?  Good way do
degunk/decarbon an engine or better suited to pad the mechanic's profit
margin?
Matt in GA
