I have seen different posts on this and am wondering what the difference is?

I have seen one that involves unplugging the E Shaft position sensor, having a friend crank the car while the fluid is sprayed in the holes on the side of the intake manifold.

What is so different about this then letting the car idle and letting it suck up the Sea Foam / De Carb cleaner through the same holes?

Sea Foam and Mazda decarb are the same thing, mazda just charges more.

The full procedure, as very nicely detailed by nycgps, http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=142852 allows more time for the decarb solution to do its work. It's a matter of how much carbon buildup you have/may think you have.

one more thing... seafoam/mazda decarb is there to turn the carbon build up into a flammable compound one you start the car. If you're just running the engine while adding seafoam you're not getting the full benefit of the treatment. Fuel + seafoam = half assed cleaning

One thing they don't mention but Team RX8 recomends is.....................

Unbolt the cat...

Whe you do this all the extra liquid goes onto the floor and not into the CAT.

They liquid will kill the cat.

yeah if the car is running it will just burn up if it is not burning let it sit for an hour or a few hours to soak up and get rid of all that carbon then fire it up and all that nasty carbon will be blown right out the exhaust
