Carbon deposits on pistons and valves.

What causes this? Lean or rich mixtures? Car feels slughish, feather the pedal and car runs great and picks up speed fine, smash on it and car stumbles and feels slughish! BOGS! WTF? Happened a year ago hitting 8K plus RPM's on L.A. freeway, 2000 Civic Si stock B16, input is highly appreciated! Clogged injectors, fuel filter or fuel rail?

Re: Carbon deposits on pistons and valves. (Evilparadize)

carbon deposit is a result of burning air and fuel. Not much of a way to get rid of it.

this isnt allmotor related so im moving it to the civic forum.
