    Using SeaFoam, STP Injector Cleaner, and a MAF cleaner, I did get rid of a “too rich at idle” CEL recently. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    But as to the science behind it, I defer to this guy.

    I have not used it, but have heard many, many people swear by it. Including my mechanic neighbor. I’m seriously considering giving it a go.

    I've seen many folks who swear that this can of snake oil works, but I have yet to see any before & after pictures that show any proof.

    Does anyone have some they can share?

    Agreed - I used it a long time ago on a (should I say.. BMW E34?).. did run better. But no proof. Would be good to scope engine. Run this through. Then see difference. I have a scope if someone wants to run the test. :)

    If anything it's an easy regular maint. type procedure that could assist in a common issue.
