Also I got some smoke coming out of my engine bay. I think one of the plugs from the nipple was not in all the way. I mean it was in but not super in. Can that why I had white smoke coming from engine bay?

lol so I had a worst hot start ever today. Any ideas? I went for a drive, hit 8k 2x. Then drove to my parents house, parked it for about 5 minutes and when I went to turn it on it would not turn on. I had to try it 4 times. It never did that.

never had problem till now...

I wanna do this but im in a built up area so I thought I could go to work early but is there a linit to how long it should be left as I though I could get it in the system then leave it till I go home (8 hours) is this to long.

Is it absolutely necessary to do this with 2 people. Thinking of doing this tomorrow. I know someone is supposed to crank the engine while the other person holds the bottle or something (havent read the full DIY yet). Possible to do this alone ?

foo77

^ i just do it by myself just make sure the can/bottle sit firmly and not to spill it out.. anyway doing it with 2 person might helps alot

8 hours is definitely too long.
Using the siphon method with seafoam can be done solo, but I don't think zoom cleaner can be used solo (it's a spray can.)

wait foo .. how did you do it by yourself ?? Arent you supposed to press the nozzle on the bottle with cranking the engine ??

Also im using seafoam and it doesnt have a nozzle or hose to connect the liquid to the nozzle. Do i just put any random hose in the bottle then connect that to the nipple and just crank the engine ??

foo77

the seafoam i bought don't have any nozzle to press, so i just put the tube in the can and it suck by itself when cranking the engine.. thats what i do..

Sorry which tube do you put in. THe black ones you remove or one that you put in the bottle then connect that to the nipple ??

Sorry i just dont wanna mess anything up

foo77

i just put the tube in the can and connect it to the front nipple first like 10 seconds as per D.I.Y, but if you not sure do it alone, as i said do it with your buddy might help alot i don't want anyone here blaming me if they do it by them self and find it doesn't work for them

Its a pain in the *&^ to get the eccentric shaft thing out omg !!!

Rotary-RX8

iTrader: (1)

Gave up. I put everything back together. the eccentric shaft is impossible to remove !!

And i have the aem cai so i have perfect access to it. Its just hard to remove it. I press so damn hard but the damn thing doesnt come off.

took me 20 secs to remove it e shaft sensor.

foo77

i just used plier to remove the e shaft, no worry it'll not brake the connector

I unbolted the Eshaft sensor, way easier than unplugging in place.

Whoa, how u got the e shaft off with a plier while the engine is still in the car

nycgps

Of course it's impossible, u can't remove the eccentric while the engine is in the car ... U gotta take the engine out, take the engine apart to remove it

Joke aside, If it gets stuck, spray some electrical cleaner will clear it up.

It took me maybe 10 or 20 seconds to get mine off

foo77

so funny we mean remove the eccentric connector lol

Nadrealista

did anyone do a test to see which is better for carbon removal zoom cleaner or seafoam?

foo77

i think both did for same purpose..
