Just get a fuel injection service. I use the BG kit, one for the engine and one for the fuel tank. Works pretty well.

the best thing i would say would be to use seafoam. it can be applied via the vacuum in the brake booster line. directly to the manifold and added into the gasoline. "seafoam" check into it.

seafoam is the ****, you can put it in your oil, gas and motor, it cleans everything, and when you put it in your motor its funny to see peoples faces when they see mass white smoke coming out of your exhaust

Do they sell Seafoam in SoCal California? I haven't seen Seafoam for sale around here before. Most places dont even know what it is.

I have a 92 ex, If i use seafoam, can it do more harm than good? ie, breaking out all the carbon and opening up some leaks. Has anyone used the Seafoam transmission stuff?

I use Freedom Fuel additive in my Suburban and '59 Studebaker and I get 2-3 MPG better. That's a TON when your daily driver is a 350 V8.
