I have heard of a product like this when I was a teenager, it was sold almost everywhere. When I went to buy it for my car, it was not sold. I could only find it online. With this kind of spray, you spray it into your intake while you vehicle is running, to clean it out. It is no longer sold at retail, and I went to the company to ask "why" and they are going to email me a responce... All I got is a machine. Just thought I would throw it out there, or maybe someone here might know why? Who knows:blink:

I have never heard of it. Maybe another company makes a similar product.

You can also use any carb cleaner. They're all essentially the same thing. One step up from all of those is Seafoam.

seafoam is cool, I wish I had my camera with me when I did it, the smoke coming out the tail pipe was hilarious.

I am not sure about using just any carb cleaner. I read somewhere that they are too strong and can remove the coating from the throttle body. I know that CRC makes a specific product for MAF sensor cleaning, as well. $7 at my local NAPA. With the cost to replace this stuff, it's good to be careful.:uhoh:

Wrong, if you look at the fine print, the engine must be off to use. Other companies have made it, but this product you use while you vehicle is idling. When you use it, you rev it and spray, and you vehicle stumbles alittle and then roars a bunch of smoke out the back.

Edit: Depends on if that's the right stuff.
