I don't believe in additives. I believe in preventive maintenance

I have used with great results;

STP Complete Fuel system Cleaner or Motomaster Ultra Fuel System Treatment (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 I swear i got bad gas and this helped out with the fuel system cleaner within 15 minutes

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.

The best fuel cleaner for your Ford product is Motorcraft premium fuel injector cleaner #pm-6 $15. BG Products also makes great additives.

Seafoam

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.

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.

same basic stuff yea.

You can use trans fluid for that, too. Works wonders and is cheaper.

I am a HUGE fan of Seafoam. It does tend to help an ever so slight miss that comes up from time to time.
