If you have an AT then you should take it to the dealer............ and get a MT.

Really though I think the procedure is the same. And do you mean when starting at the end or when taking in the cleaner?

 

yea i don't get much wind on my side street opps!

next weekend ill do it again with a you tube DIY for those who want to use seafoam.

 

No need to hold the accelerator, cuz if you unplug the Eccentric Shaft Position Sensor connector like I said in the DIY, no fuel will go in.

 

alright thanks

 

Hey guys, even tho im getting a new engine in muh car :D, i know i wont need this but where could you get it? and i dont suppose theres a shelf life?

 

Dont know about shelf life but ... it should be good for a year or 2.

where to get it? You didnt read my first post did you ?

 

lol... i did, must of missed it...

 

I just cleaned mine today and all i can say is DDDDDDDAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!! this little sucker must of been full of it, my whole block went up in smoke , my neighbors came out and i had to explain everything .....the smell wasnt half bad though i was expecting worse but seriously it looked like a really foggy morning!!!!!!!!! AWESOME!!!

 

I just did mine while I was waiting on the hurricane. Threw a CEL but I had NO smoke. Zero, zilch, none.

My car does have 20K on it and I do drive it aggressively including autocross. Has this happened to anyone else?

 

So after you decarbed everything is hooked back up and now you have a CEL?

 

The CEL is normal, its from the sensors being unplugged. It should go away in a day or 2.

Everything is plugged back in. I double checked. The mazda zoom cleaner definitely came out the exhaust, I could smell it. Just no smoke.

Oh yeah that Eccentric Shaft Position Sensor is a pain to get to.

 

I did this today. Actually getting to and unplugging the ESPS wasn't that bad if it hadn't been for a stupid striped bolt on my RB intake.

I had to literally get down and dirty with the sawsall I don't fk around, didn't really want it to come down to it though. Some may want to try taking the battery off for a few while you work your way to unplug the ESPS by leaning from the passenger corner of the car.

There was definitely a good amount of smoke once I plugged everything back and started the car. So, I want to think I'm doing more good than bad. I kinda want to do it again after a few thousand more miles.

After doing everything as mention, I didn't really feel a punch after the rpm kicked up. I initially drove the car for a good 12 miles shifting at 3 to 4k rpms. I then hit the highway redlining in 2nd and 3rd.

 

So am I the only person who didn't get any smoke at all?

I wonder if no smoke is a good thing.

 

wow i just added a half can of seafoam into my gas tank with a full tank of 93 and i can already tell the difference. it runs a lot smoother. i wish i did this a long time ago

 

It sure helps the lungs.

 

I didn't get much smoke.

 

So are all you guys letting it suck up oil when running it after the cleaner has sat for 1-2 hours? One of those early posts detailing the TSB steps said the dealerships sets the OMP to higher flow for this procedure, so is everyone adding an oil feed to the nipples like is suggested, or do people usually skip that?

 

I didn't

 

I have premix, so I didnt.

 

And you don't use premix or anything like that? Just did it dry?

 

That just sounds wrong, I skipped that step as well.

 

^lol

well alright. Did anyone do this with a 50K+ miles engine, WITHOUT any additional oil or use of premix?

just being cautious about my engine thats all.

 

Just did this. Nice DIY. One beer job.

 

i have just over 50k miles on mine. and i just added a half can of seafoam into a full tank of gas (93) and it worked with no problems. It helped out

 

I had about 54k and did it dry right through the nipples
