Yes do this whilst holding revs at 2000rpm!

Only a few squirts in the inlet, no where near enough to hydro-lock. Got the rest of the can to use when I have a helper to keep the engine revving


As per the instructions basically. Don't worry, I'm not daft enough to empty a can into the inlet ready for the pistons to try to compress it   :laugh:

Once you put a can full through it, then take her for an Italian style tune up for a good 10 miles and see if your misfires have significantly reduced   :happy2:

Just been round to my mates in it and the idle is much better, less burbling out of the exhaust and more of a flat note. Got some injector cleaner to run through as well. A bit of buildup is expected with 68k miles I guess  :sad1:
