- leave the car in gear when you shut her down.
- when you get home tonight leave your car idleing, open the hood and turn
- the idle screw up until she idles at around 1600rpm's. get the garden
- hose and turn it on to a slow but steady dribble. remove your air
- cleaner top and let the water from your hose dribble into the engine.
- If the engine starts to bog and die pull the hose away and turn the
- dribble down or set the idle up. then return the water to the engine for
- about 10 minutes.
- this will remove carbon build-up from the cylinders and probably remove
- the run-on problem also.
- NO this will not harm your engine. I have used this technique for 20
- yrs. and on every make of vehicle.
