and man--I never called you an idiot or anything else of the sort.....but anyway--


be careful with the ATF idea....seems to be two schools of thought on that one. Some say that it has helped a bunch, but others say it can kill the seals in your engine. That is why I listed the water trick earlier. The vacuum line is on the boost sensor I believe(someone correct me if not). All you do is pop off the line and put it in a gallon of clean water. Let the car run at about 3K--it will suck the water up like a straw. The water turns to steam and steam cleans your engine out. Less smoke out the exhaust and nothing that would hurt the seals. Also--the way someone explained it to me--look at engine parts when a piston engine blows a head gasket bad--everything that the water comes in contact with is like shiny and new....same idea for this, though I suspect not as much because of the temp of the coolant when the head gasket lets go--MUCH higher than tap water....

Also--you said you just had your injectors serviced 2 months ago....why worry about cleaning them now? They would still be clean. I know you are looking to keep em clean, but I wouldn't think they would need that much this soon anyway.

Applications

Can be used on all gasoline fueled combustion engines, including engines with Multec and "pintle-less" injectors. It is oxygen sensor safe and can be used on "coated" intake components. Do not apply intake Cleaner to diesel engines.

oh yea and also everyone we do smokes unless the car is very clean and the pesron used plus gas all the time

oh yea and one last thing it didt start doing it untill about 1 1/2 days after i did it before then it did nothing
