whoops (obsessed with cleaning). Sea foam is what I mean:

Its not just 'another' injector cleaner though. Its some really good stuff. Basically you dump half in the fuel tank, and the other half you get the car to 'inhale' through a vacuum source.
EDIT:
Dark Samurai You mean sea foam jim?well corrected

iirc I disconnected the one that goes to the power steering. Basically put half if the seafoam in a cup and let the engine sip at it slowly through the vacuum. Don't let it guzzle it or the car will stall. Once it's drank it all, switch off the car, empty the rest into the gas tank, And let the car sit for about 30 mins.
When you start the car up again be prepared to put your whole street under a thick cloud of smoke.

Or is it better to put it in a vaccum line?

06-07-2018, 01:48 AM #19Would it be easier to just put half of it into a spray bottle, and just spray it into straight into the intake as a mist?

I would go vaccum personally - purely because I'd imagine there to be less for the fluid to cling to on its way into the engine (inside of the intake, throttle butterfly,...etc).
Its also probably quicker. It'll suck up the contents in about 30 seconds, even sipping it.
