Looking | Quick-Job RX8 De-Carb

I need someone in the Houston Area near zip : 77037
20$ - We have the DeCarb and Tools.
We just need someone who' knows how to do it correctly, tried it on the truck and we messed up.
Don't need to mess up the RX8.

Don't bother, it's a waste of time.

So it's been started every once in a while with dirty oil, and now it needs to be de-carbbed

Then change the oil. Drive the car correctly and don't worry about carbon build up.

So change the oil. Decarbing is pointless, any miniscule amount of carbon removed will be right back after 1000 miles of driving. 95% of carbon build up is from gasoline and there is little you can do about it. So just make sure you warmed it up when you drive and and drive it like it is meant to be driven and change the oil, oil filter, and air filter regularly.

The cars at 170k Miles on the first engine, so I think De-Carbbing will help it.

You don't know how to do it but you think it will help? I suggest you start new threads less, and search more.
