I used Valvoline's SynPower Carb and TB Cleaner last week.
Initial results were kind of strange...for the first 100 miles, my gas peddle seemed stiff and the engine sounded like it was straining. I disconnected the battery when I cleaned the MAF & TB as suggested.
Could this be from the computer resetting itself after ~100 miles?
After the first 100 miles, everything has shown a noticeable improvement. Smoother idle, a bit smoother on strong acceleration, and gas mileage has increased! I never did better than 18 mpg before. I just finished my first tankful and I eeked out 20 mpg. It wasn't even all highway driving. Well worth the $1.50 for the cleaner (Pep Boys) and the 1/2 hour investment of my time. Tx for the tips guys!
