Where did you get that metering hose? Can’t seem to find one. Good
instructional video. I was having a problem with low idle (car cutting off
at stops) and an idle surging issue in Park and Neutral on my 95 Eagle
Summit. A thorough cleaning of the throttle body and IAC valve seems to
have solved it. Thanks.
If it has vacuum it works. It’ll all make it into the intake without an
issue.
We can neither confirm nor deny… 😉
Hi, I have Q: Can I use the PCV hose as a vacuum line, instead of brake
buster hose? Can you tell me what are vacuum hoses in a car? Is the seafoam
better than MMO? What product is better to clean the intake? Thanks.
Sadly, there’s no realistic way to capture the smoke. Fortunately, the
particulate content is basically carbon and combustion byproducts, which
are heavier than air and will settle out in the form of a film of dust.
Great video!
Nice video.
Great video. Would’ve been great to cut forward when the vehicle’s just
sitting there, but otherwise very informative.
Is there any way to adsorb all that smoke instead of put it in the air?
Generally speaking, a third of a can into each is an excellent “maintenance
dose” for vehicles that are in relatively good shape as far as byproduct
buildup is concerned, and it’ll help reduce varnishing and gumming in the
fuel system as well as helping break up sludge in the oil pathways.
However, as homefry818 said, when doing a full-on induction clean it’ll
usually take the whole can, and we’ve had a few cases where it took two
cans to do the job.
