Cleaning carbon out of engine? F22A
Ok so I have heard multiple times that you can use a cleaner that removes ALOT of carbon deposits from the engine. Once you apply (spray in the TB or on injectors?), you let it sit for a while and then start the vehicle. Usually it smokes a TON, but it cleans the engine. Anyone know what I am talking about?
Is it called PB B'laster?
Would I just take off the cai and spray it right into the TB?
EDIT: its a 4th gen accord, F22a6

Like Jake said, Seafoam, NOT PB Blaster.
And I used the PCV tube to the intake manifold. The idle gets wonky with the PCV valve disconnected, but it works. Any vacuum line will do really.

Re: Cleaning carbon out of engine? F22A (Phire)
i have an f23 and had to take apart the intake man. which isnt too hard since its two pieces. dont have to unbolt it from the head. once the top half was off, just clean all of the holes in both parts of IM with whatever works. doubt u can actually clean all or even most of the IM without taking the IM apart-----not sure if the f22 has a two piece IM.

Re: Cleaning carbon out of engine? F22A (Phire)
all you need to do is pull the fuel rail off, then take the five bolts out of the EGR "passage'',its right below the fuel rail don't exactly know what its called,and clean that out, but i would not let a lot of that carbon just fall in the head if you decide not to take the IM off. Use a vaccum to pull it out of the holes in the IM.

Re: Cleaning carbon out of engine? F22A (pyrojeff)
Yea I can totally vouch for seafoam! Just helped my buddy swap out the motor on his '96 Maxima with like 165k miles. New motor had around 60k I think. He swapped out his intake and EGR stuff since there were some minor differences between the two years. The older one was a million times cleaner. Might warn your neighbors though, my honda was making so much smoke someone called the fire department!
You can also run the remaining half can of it through your oil (recommend before an oil change). I have a manual transmission and there was a noticeable improvement in the way it coast and how much I had to be on the gas to maintain speed.

why don't you do some research before you start talking out of your *** next time. water is an excellent engine decarbonizer. just take the filter off your intake and spray a light mist into it [being careful not to hydrolock] and the steam cleans your combustion chamber like magic.

Re: Cleaning carbon out of engine? F22A (Schmitey)
He's right about the water. Cold water hits hot carbon and basically causes the carbon to break up and out of the engine. Instant steam clean.
But I've used both water and Seafoam on my vehicles, and Seafoam gets my vote.
Plus, you get this huge cloud of smoke billowing out of your exhaust, so it must be better, right?

the smoke is my favorite part! I just sit there, running through all the gears, imagining that I'm roasting my tires and smoking the guy behind me...

Water cleaning isn't that strange... One of the classic symptoms of a leaking headgasket is when coolant leaks into one cylinder, that sparkplug gets REALLY clean.

Dude.. PB Blaster is an alternative to WD-40. ROFLMAO.
That does not belong in your combustion chamber.

Hmmmm. I always pretend I'm James Bond in an Aston Martin DB5 blowing a smoke screen....dunnnnhhhhh dunnnnhhhhh duhnnnnnn duhnnnnnn..........
Yeah, keep the PB Blaster for loosening stuck nuts and bolts.
Throw that SNAP crap in the trash. It's little more than paint thinner
Deep Creep is aerosol SeaFoam
B12 good cleaner too
