| Re: Cleaning your engine of evil carbon Nope, you didn't read all the directions.
You do as you were doing, don't let up on the gas, maintain 2000 rpm or so, then when it tells you to, allow it to stall. And spray in the rest. So being you stalled, just restart and get it going again. You spray it in at the end to stall it so it is loaded heavy in the cyls to sit and cook (hot engine) it off.
I use X66A (aerosol), X66P (pour), or the garden hose. All 3 work fine. I run the garden hose on low, and dump in to the carb, and rev it to handle it. Runs fine, steam cleans the carbon right out. Just don't stall it with the water. Toss the hose off to the side and rev up to 2500 or so till it is running good, then go for a drive for about 5 miles. It will be fine, and much cleaner. And last time I checked, water is 100% O2 sensor and Catalytic Converter safe! And Genuine 100% Microsoft Free.
Yes, a friend of mine hyrdolocked his engine and bent the rod and shattered the piston (but that was 4 wheeling and he went nose in the water!). Always be exteremely careful inducing water or any other chemical liquid into an engine! If you are not cozy comfy with doing it, then do NOT do it. I am, as I have done it for years on my older cars (301 Turbo Pontiac, 455 and 400 Pontiac, 350 Olds, 307 Olds). Honestly, never did it to a EFI car due to the sideways TB. A spray bottle works well too, and injests less water at each time, and does a fine job. Just spray as fast as you can, it will run fine, and likely not ever come close to stalling. |
