Are you automatic or manual?

 

[dmcastillo86]

Automatic sir. Is there anything I can do to clean out my fuel system good besides running fuel cleaner in my gas tank when I fill up and I once heard something about cleaning EAC valve or something? Not to sure on that one lol

Pour transmission fluid in the tube the dipstick is in. That goes straight to the pan.

I'm a really big fan of Seafoam. You can use it to clean your fuel system (do that before fuel filter as you will probably clog it if you have used dirty gas). You can also clean intake and valves with it, and even the crank case. Make sure you study up though before using it.

I figured but I didn't want to with being sure about it thanks. Seafoam that's the stuff I've heard about. Do you know how I'd go about cleaning all the these things with it? Or where I can research it at?
