    My problem is its so diluted it barely works.

    Actual EFI cleans make way more sense (if done correctly)

    When I was in school my buddy had an altima with a leaking EGR, the compression was 150-120-110-150, so the deposits were accumulating on the 2 middle valves. We did a hot injector purge and restored the compression, I remember it was 150-140-135-150 it was massive. We blocked off the EGR after that.

    Its basically raw acetone, so it would detonate underload, but at idle and reving no issues. We always do 1500-2500rpm hot hot hot at my work.

    Finding a place that does proper cleans? Hard to find. With D4S you need to connect the purge system to the port injectors and set the system to run on port. Some hook it up to the direct injection but it doesnt clean the deposits on the intake valves.

    I've used Techron additive in my 07 since new. Does it work? Who the hell knows... just trying to get through the 12 cases my Dad left me lol.
    Have never heard the "taco tic" people speak of... any chance the Techron has something to do with that? :notsure:
