If you dont have a DX then you can unplug one of the injectors.... I herd peeps do that. About a half an hour of revin can clean out carbon deposits. Make sure that you have a 02 that can help as well. Never herd of the rubbing alcohol. Anyone care to post?

then unplug one of your injectors. He meant any car with multi-point fuel injections. Un plug one injector and make it look like its still plugged in. Good luck.

so, go to emission center, and unplug one injector in the parking lot, and it should be looked like plugged on?
correct?
i think blaze meant that unplug one injector, 1 2/1 hour revin, then it will remove the carbon deposit..
confused.. anyway rubbing alcohol doesnt work on honda?
