- I use a mix of 50-50 Techron and gasoline in my cleaner. I also heard
- at the 5th annual National Z-car convention that the cleaning chemical
- system sold by Nissan and used internally is very good.
-
- Be sure to cycle the injectors while cleaning. The motion and the vibration
- helps the solvent action. I have some PC software I wrote that will
- do this and a bunch of other stuff in conjuction with a darlington
- transistor hooked to one bit on the parallel port. Contact me if you're
- interested. There is a detailed article on how to use this software
- in the free sample issue of my new magazine, Performance Engineering.
- See my sig for how to get one.
