Hi I have direction injection . I've had (past weeks) rough idling and flat spots etc no knocking noises or tapping .t Would you say this is likely carbon issue ? It's had 1 Injector replaced new rad coolant sensor and therm. I've just replaced oil and filter . No rough idling yet but other night I had lots of flat spots in 2nd then picking up . On getting to b from a. Engine light came on steady . Next day it was off cheers

Speaking of using water to de-carbon your engine, I think it would be worthwhile investigating. When I was a young bloke back in the late 60's early 70's there were a heap of aftermarket water injection kits on the market (of course everything was carbies back in those days). It was supposed to increase power but as with all these magic things the results were subjective. However, it is common knowledge that if you have a blown head gasket that's letting coolant (water based liquid) into the combustion chamber, when you take the head off it's easy to identify the cylinder that is affected because it is often quite clean compared to the rest especially if it had been leaking for a while. The water injection systems on the market 'back in the day' were simple and used a water container attached to an adjustable valve that fed a small venturi. The amount of water could be adjusted, and there was never enough to create a compression lock. So if you have a car that has serious carbon buildup it may be worth looking into.

@@Dudeman9339 I guess you are not familiar with manifold Injection cleaning. I've performed this service for over 20 years with no issues. You can either use the Seafoam spray with the long straw via the Throttle body or use the regular Seafoam bottle via a vacuum hose. Find a vacuum hose that goes to the manifold. Start engine and hold RPM near 2.5K with your helper. Now with the disconnected vacuum hose, S-L-O-W-L-Y pour the Seafoam. If you stalled the engine, you poured too fast. Re start the engine if you stalled it before adding any more. During this 10 or so minute process, you will see plenty of white smoke coming out of the tail pipe. Use the entire can and let the car idle for a minute or two and shut off for 15 minutes. Start car and let run for 5 minutes to burn any possible residual solvent. Now take the car for a safe "Spirited Drive" to again burn any more residual solvent. Don't be surprised of possible engine coughing during the drive. There are plenty examples on YT showing this entire process.

Guys, pouring a little water down the carb slowly worked a treat back in the day, but to be fair, my engine was a 425 cu in V8 which wasn't likely to hydro-lock short of dumping in the whole can at once. I've got to think if you have a much smaller engine your margin for error is a whole lot slimmer. Plus with a cast iron intake manifold, I've got to think that a lot of the water was turned to steam before it got into the cylinders. I'm thinking with a plastic intake manifold you aren't making much steam before you hit the intake valves.

A piston soak is another great way to remove carbon, but again you have to be careful to get all the solvent and crud out before you fire up the engine to avoid hydro-lock (RIP engine) I just did a soak on my Matrix and literally removed a handful of carbon. My fuel trims went back to almost zero, my idle is perfect, and it cut my oil consumption by at least half :-)

The other problem with using water to clean an engine not mentioned here is this: blow-by. You will end up with water in your crank case as if you had a blown head gasket, and probably more than you might expect too.

I’ve always had success with Marvel Mystery Oil. I dump two bottles into my gas tank; it provides additional lubrication for the fuel pump, cleans the fuel injections, and it cleans up the pistons and combustion chambers. If I want a deep cleaning; I warm up the engine first and spray water mist directly into the intake. The steam from the water will also clean up the pistons; but you have to be careful not to dump too much water because it will hydrolock your engine and blow it up.

Yep, I use the CRC cleaner as part of every oil change (about every 8000 miles) in my 2017 Honda Fit with the 1.5L direct injection engine. I also had a '91 chev cavalier that would regularly develop a knock due to combustion chamber buildup so I would drip about a pint of water into the intake of the running engine to create steam to blow out the carbon. Knock disappeared for about 3000-4000 miles until carbon built up again and I would repeat the process.

I have a easier ,better tried tested and proven solution for this problem. Turbofield Nano Treatment it is called . It treats the metal and not the liquids . It cleans ,polishes and fills the micro pores of the metal surface and repairs the surface inside of engine. No more new carbon deposits. More power more mileage and long long engine life extended to hundreds of thousands of miles. Less friction heat noise vibration harshness wear and tear and low emissions as well . Immediate results. Simple to use and cost very reasonable. I have used it on my Nissan Altima 2004 and it is at 3,85,000 kilometers and running like brand new. Never did any de carbonara used any such chemicals.

Any direct injection engine should have an oil separating catch can inline for the vent. It traps water, fuel, and oil from being vacuumed.

My subie forester xt has had this issue since I bought it. I do the crc turbo cleaner every other oil change, oil separator on the pcv to intake and regular oil changes. I still get some stumbles here and there with the check engine light coming on for fuel trim too rich, nothing a little maf cleaner on the map sensor couldn't fix. Probably change the upstream o2 sensor as well.

Use my Turbofield Nano Treatment and you will be happy. 2 months ago treated a Subaru Tribeca which had 2,91,900 kilometers on it . During the dosing itself all the noise silenced out and engine got great power and pick up and within a a week or so showed a mileage improvement of 1.2liters per 100 kilometers and the owner came back with another Subaru of his .

I just pulled the Head on my 1993 Accord with 290K miles on it. I took me 6 hours to get all the carbon off the top of the pistons. I bought the car used with 160k to use for a work car. The first owner did not use quality Gas or oil. I am going to finish putting it back together tomorrow and am very curious about the results of my efforts.

@@BeeBoi456 I tried everything, nothing worked fast, I think I needed to use parts cleaner, let it soak then scrape it off. Very time consuming. you need to use something thick that will not evaporate quickly, cover with a plastic bag. The best way is to grind it off with a dremel, but that is hard with the pistons installed.

I use to add about a 1/4 cup water to carburetor rev it a few times than add 1/4 cup marvel mystery oil to carb to relubricate. It worked. On older cars long ago.

Hey man, I just bought a 2011 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor with 107k miles and 6,400 idle hours. The car runs and drives great. It idles a teeny bit rough in park or neutral. It doesn't leak/burn any fluids. The only issues I've had was replacing the thermostat which was cheap and easy. Unlike most used cop cars this car's paint is still shines like new with a few expected chips and scratches. I paid nearly $5,000 for this car. Do you think I got screwed?

I use a catch can on the PVC side to separate the oil from vacuum air into the intake system.

A quality synthetic oil with a low volatility # NOACK of 7% or less will help a lot to keep oil from passing through the PCV system and into the intake system. It's the oil vapor that gets burned onto the intake valves causing the carbon build up. OCC helps too.

Take out spark plugs and add carbs cleaner in cylinder. Add carbs cleaner in hose pcv and start engine. This method clearly everything carbon.

You've mentioned additives. Why do they mention, that one should put a bit of two stroke oil into the diesel to lubricate the parts like HP pump. Obviously even that brand diesel seems to be not good.

If you want to help a group of people, create a video on cleaning the intake ports/valves of any turbocharged, GDI Honda engine, such as the Civic Type R, the Accord turbo, the Civic Si, etc. I have an FK8 Type R and it sucks for doing this. There is zero realistic access for the injection of the cleaner. Thank you!
