I believe in preventive maintenance :D tonyd April 28th, 2008, 12:36 PM I have used with great results; STP Complete Fuel system Cleaner (http://www.stp.com/fuel_cfsc.html) or Motomaster Ultra Fuel System Treatment (http://www.canadiantire.ca/browse/product_detail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=84552444329 4200&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=1408474396673439&bmUID=1209403660662&deptid=1408474396672395&ctgrid=1408474396673427&subctgrid=1408474396673439) (whaterver is on sale) i have also had my mechanic use a product called Performa System 1-2-3 in my last 4 cars and that stuff was awsome. only other place I have seen it at was a Midas shop in towm when I had my custom exhaust done. STP® All Season Water Remover (http://www.stp.com/fuel_water.html) I swear i got bad gas and this helped out with the fuel system cleaner within 15 minutes workin_ike April 28th, 2008, 12:59 PM I use fuel injector cleaner with every oil change as preventive maintenance. I did it in my 89 caprice for the 2 years I had it, on the Aveo for 3 yaers and 45,000k. And will continue it with the LS. I use Lucas. Once the injectors get so gummed they will never come clean like new, so I do this to keep the clean. gcwimmer April 28th, 2008, 01:00 PM I don't believe in additives.

I use it in all my cars LINCOLNATOR April 28th, 2008, 03:16 PM The best fuel cleaner for your Ford product is Motorcraft premium fuel injector cleaner #pm-6 $15. BG Products also makes great additives. Apathy25TX April 28th, 2008, 04:31 PM I just did the Seafoam thing yesterday and I can definately feel an improvement. On the way back home from a fishin' trip my car stalled twice on me when I was on a stop light. That same day I did the Seafoam through the throttle body thing and the car smoked for a bit ( like 10 mins ). So far the car hasn't stalled and I've taken several lights. Let's hope it's something attributed to the cleaning. :) I'll check it later to see if it's been stalling. MMAFIGHTER121 April 28th, 2008, 05:00 PM i put in pre-drain treatment when doing my engine oil, and your usual $6 injector cleaner every once in a while, but nothing too special. the pre-oil change treatment though i recommend on any car. used to work at goodyear and sears auto, we charged like $20 to do it and its only 4 or 5 bucks a bottle and 5 minutes of running the engine to do clean it out and it makes a big difference on what you drain out. wallyj April 29th, 2008, 02:00 PM i put in pre-drain treatment when doing my engine oil, and your usual $6 injector cleaner every once in a while, but nothing too special. the pre-oil change treatment though i recommend on any car. used to work at goodyear and sears auto, we charged like $20 to do it and its only 4 or 5 bucks a bottle and 5 minutes of running the engine to do clean it out and it makes a big difference on what you drain out. Is that the same thing as motor flush? You put it in and run for 5 min or so then drain. It sounds the same. MMAFIGHTER121 April 29th, 2008, 02:07 PM same basic stuff yea. NYC LS8 April 29th, 2008, 02:11 PM You can use trans fluid for that, too. Works wonders and is cheaper. marcredd April 29th, 2008, 09:04 PM I am a HUGE fan of Seafoam. It does tend to help an ever so slight miss that comes up from time to time. | |||||
