When I add a carb cleaner it has more pep and my garage suggested I have a INDUCTION CLEANING done for $90.00 They state it cleans out alot of built up carbon all the way through by adding one of something and two of something else and is done under pressure. Does this sound reasoniable and is this something I can do msrlf or do you have special equipment ao can I buy this stuff a an auto parts place THANKS Peter

    Induction cleaning is more commonly known as a carbon flush. It won't hurt to have the service performed, but I would look elsewhere. How long has it been since your last tune up? Replace Air Filter, Fuel Filters, Spark Plugs and Ignition wires. Keep in mind that the fuel pump may also be failing. In any case, start with the lease expensive and basic tune up first. The Carbon flush will not correct clogged filters or worn ignition components.

    Thank you for your response. I had the carbon flush done and it made quite a differenc since I have 120,000 I had fuel filter changed about 5000 ago and also my spark plugs My mechanic says that it sounds that I have a miss fire so were going to try ignition wires this week and also change air filter. and fuel pump would be last. I try to do a little every 2wks when I get paid as you know $ is tighter these days Thak you Peter
