Fuel Induction Cleaning DYI?
Fuel Induction Cleaning DYI?
Hey,
I was searching the board and couldn't find a DYI for fuel induction system cleaning. Dealer states i have some carbon build up at intake throttle plate. How would I take care of this, or is it better for a shop to do it?

You might also benefit from using 44K too.
Videos on YouTube showing how to clean it - just be careful if the body has a sensor in it.
If it has, just spray, don't wipe with cloth.
I cleaned the Accord's carefully, then sprayed more with the engine running - you'll need someone to prod the pedal to prevent it stalling.
Short bursts rather than prolonged ones are the way to go.

The most effective, safe induction service involves simply running the engine while you use an induction tool like the that recommended to slowly meter in the induction fluid. A few drops per second at idle. It'll take about an hour.
I recommend an induction service every 30k to guests with direct injection cars, including dual direct/port system (D4S system like the LS460)

For anyone wondering about BG44k, I am a believer. I ran one can of it through a tank in my 2006 GS300 and it made a very noticeable difference in power. I have 123k on it. I started noticing a difference about half way through the tank. I’ll be running one more can through to finish the job. I really think it works. I won’t waste money on the cheaper solutions out there any longer. I’ve never had such a noticeable improvement from those....even sea foam.
