How do I clean the carbon buildup in my Engine?
Hey guys...
so here comes a question that I have been meaning to ask for a long time......
As my 04 G35couple is reaching 6000miles soon.. i'd assume that there will be lotta carbon buildup in the engine....
does anybody know how do i clean it?? Do I need to bring it to a mechanic or all I need to do is to buy some additives from CanadianTire??
if buying additives is the option.. then is there a favorite brand for Infiniti ?!?!
any suggestion is much appreciated....

so is there any other ways to clean up the carbon left in the engine other than revving it up??.... i have been revving my engine all the time whenever i am on hwy 401....
but still.. i realized a proper cleanning method woudl be more effective than simply zoom-zoom it...

For easy DIY apparently this is the best stuff out there-BG44K. I don't know about the best source but EBay or web search can probably come up with some.

The injectors inject fuel into each intake just above the intake valve (in our engines) and can be seen perched under a fuel rail just above each cylinder.
These injectors will get gummed up over time and not spray effeciently affecting performance and gas mileage.
The MAF sensor sits in a housing just after of the intake manifold and ahead of the large, black rubber inlet tube and meters air used in the engine.
This also will gum up over time usually with a black sludgey coating that will also affect performance and driveabiltiy.
It should be noted that the injectors and the MAF sensor are delicate instruments and should be cleaned by the pros...
