I just bought the aerosol version and it say's "disconnect the AIR diverter valve solenoid to divert the AIR from the converter"... <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" />
Does that mean pull a fuse or something? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

 

Don't know about that one. Will not matter for me though since I removed my A.I.R. system. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

 

<img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" /> Anyone???? I'm about to do an oil change, thought I would do this at this time

 

I did this about 5 months ago. Still not sure what that is suppose to mean, but none the less, I used it any way. I took my lid off exposing the MAF. Then took one of those little straw things that come with WD-40 and stuck it on the spray can cap. Then just put the straw in past the MAF sensors and sprayed the whole can into the TB, making sure not to get any on the MAF sensors. Let sit for however long you can, the longer the better (I let sit about 6 hours) and then go drive the car and blow the **** out. Then change your oil. I havn't had any problems doing it that way. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Hope that helps some!

 

mobe:

what exactly does that do?

 

Top End Cleaner cleans out all the carbon build-up in the intake and combustion chambers, and what not.

 

6 hours? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> Damn the instructions say 15 minutes none the less thanks for the tip <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

let it sit!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> it will soak into the carbon and loosen it so it blows out the exhaust. it does make the inside squeeky clean. ps make sure you warm up the car to op temp first

 

Damn I don't think I'm gonna like seeing white smoke coming out of my pipes <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> ..how long did you let it sit?

 

The longer the better. The white smoke doesn't last verry long. Get on it a coupla times and that should do it! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

If you follow the small tube that is attached to the top of the Air Switch Valve in this pic you will find the air solenoid switch. Not sure why you would need to disconnect <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Warm up the car before putting the cleaner in, or before blowing it out (or both)?

 

Start the car and let it raech operating temp. Then spray entire contents of can into TB. Shut car off and let sit for as long as you can. Then fire it up and go drive it around and get on it a few time to blow it all out.

 

I did the Amsoil Power Foam which is the same kind of spray in deal. I didn't change the oil afterwards because it didn't say to. Is that a huge problem?

 

I did what mobe said it worked fine.

 

It recommends to change oil because it dillutes it.

 

You know, my '99 Formula does not have that AIR Switch Valve. When I removed my AIR system there was just a Y-connector from the AIR pump to the 2 AIR tubes that go to the manifolds. Why would my car not have that??
On another note, I have noticed that I will not be able to spray the top-end cleaner directly into each spark-plug hole as has been suggested by a few other members here.......no room on the pasenger's side of the motor to get the can in there. Oh well. <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" />

 

just a word to the wise be carefull that the cleaner is approved for our engines. i know the gm cleaner is ok but there is a few product out there that will damage our intakes since they are composite and not metal. p.s thanks for the tip to let your car sit longer, <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" /> how about letting it sit overnight or do you think the cleaner will dry?

 

Does this stuff clean the fuel injectors, too?

 

Do you guys know if Seafoam cleaner is ok for our intakes? I just got a can and was about to use it on the next oil change.
