Why not Seafoam? Tree huggers or not, be happy with what's left of the ozone...

Unplug a SMALL vacuum line going into the intake and use it to pull 16 ozs. of water through the motor @ about 2k RPMs. No seafoam or other product necessary.

Seafoam doesn't contain 1/2 the ingredients TEC has.

Seafoam ingredients:

Isopropyl Alcohol (rubbing alcohol), pale oil, and naptha.

GM TEC ingredients:
2-BUTOXYETHANOL, naptha, 4-METHYL-2-PENTANOL, 9-OCTADECENDIC ACID.

This taken from their respective MSDS sheets. Anyone who tells you TEC is the
same as seafoam hasn't smelled TEC... pew! "So bad, it has to work!"

Just to follow up on the instructions given above, you want to pour the entire can in (slowly) the vacuum hose. One that feeds ALL of the cylinders (brake booster or PCV). Then you hop in the car, raise the idle to 2000rpm, and shut it down when you see the white smoke.

sorry if I offended anyone !

Water is an old trick and it does work, but I would suggest it for older carbureted cars.
Get it up to operating temperature, the hotter the better, so long as the radi is not actuually boiling over.
At idle, dribble water into the carb, slowly. A stream of droplets is what you need, about 10 oz.
Its the water turning into steam inside the combustion chamber that does the cleaning.
However, I think a full can of combustion chamber cleaner is better.

I spent $20 on wildlife tags just for the irony.

Anyway, I don't think you'll find the answers to your problems in a can.

Amazing.

Anyways, just use seafoam. Works wonders.
