DIY: Mazda Zoom Power Engine Cleaner (Engine Cleaning, Seaform)
#51
I did this tonight. Holy crap does that stuff stink when you turn the car on! The smoke was...interesting. After a couple mile drive to see how it feels, my exhaust tips were COATED in soot. The car feels much better now. Idle is smoother, much more responsive. I put 20,000+ miles on my cars each year so this might become an annual maintenance thing. Now I've just got to get the stink out of my car...

I didnt clean it that day, I had to do something else.
But Im planning to do the cleaning again after my bumper is fixed. (I got another bottle, btw hahaha)
so tomorrow morning I am gonna bring my car to the body shop to fix up the bumper. Damn freaking NYC roads. Thanks to them I have to repaint the whole bumper. grrRRRRRRrrrrr ...

Maybe u just clean some carbon up and you're now having low compressions ? j/k
yes the Vacuum cap, especially the one near the firewall, is a BITCCCCH to reach/get it off. My hands are probably too big & fat. meh

*nice* DIY *I* really *liked* it, it should *really* help some people *out* there with doing *this* stuff (lol)
One of the possible side effects is if your engine is really carbon'ed up, a big piece can possibly break off and do some damage. But if that happens your motor was a time bomb anyways.
