I just bought a bottle of honda engine cleaner that I wanna use this weekend, Honda says to use a Top Engine Cleaner tool to attach to the power brake hose. Does anyone know how I can use this cleaner without that tool. ( if this is a dumb question humor me I wanna know)

 

It sounds like how "SeaFoam"'s used. It's siphoned out of the bottle using engine vacuum. Make sure you don't do it too fast or you'll hydrolock your engine.

I'd look up the instructions for using "SeaFoam".

 

hmm i'll look that up

 

Basically, just remove one of your vacuum hoses and allow the cleaner to suck into the intake thru that vacuum hose...keep the hose pinched so you don't suck too fast and stall out. If you do stall (and you probably will), it will take a little while to fire it back up, but it'll be fine. I stalled about 3 times doing mine. You can also put the stuff in a spray bottle and spray it directly onto the throttle body (remove the intake plumbing).

 

thanks for th info guys. It is probably best to change the oil after running this stuff right?

 

Yea, that's when I did it.

 

And do you know why this must be added to the vacuum line instead somewhere else like the fuel?

 

you want to draw it through the intake so it cleans all the deposits out of the intake manifold...putting it in the fuel is not recommended...seafoam you can do that with, not this stuff from what I remember.

 

i just seafoamed my car about a week ago, do you think it would be a good idea to use this stuff as well?

 

I used both, diluted together. Poured 1/3 can of seafoam into gas, poured 1/3 can into oil, then poured the honda stuff into the rest of the seafoam can and sucked about half that into the intake thru the PCV hose (some prefer the power brake hose, it doesn't matter). I then took the rest, put it in a crappy spray bottle, and started spraying it into the throttle body. Do the intake side with the car running, you don't want to form a puddle of this in your intake.
