Both do the samething, remove carbon buildup, which is more effective???

Fuel system treatment $90
ATF $3

I'd lean towards the atf... just keep in mind that it clogs cats and kills spark plugs and o2 sensors. I'm assuming the fuel system cleaner you're referring to is the kind thats under pressure that they feed into the intake... I just don't like the sound of it, seems to hard on the motor. Just my thoughts though

yes that is the fuel system cleaner i am refering to it worked wonders for my old 93 blazer and has been offered by my Mazda mech., he is not to keen on the ATF treatmenet but EVERYBODY has positive things to say about it so I'll go for it!!

The ATF trick is for the rotor tip seals.
Fuel cleaner will work primarily on injectors and intake manifold system

On my piston engine Jimmy the fuel system cleaner removes carbon buildup in the cylinders and lifters, I was wondering if this would or would not have the same effect on a rotory, thank for the info 'Vert in Vegas will stick to the ATF then.

Ide hafta agree here and say the atf treatment should do it. Last time i used a fuel system or injector cleaner(lucas f.i. cleaner),my car ran great. But now I think it got 'em so clean,that theyre leaking and flooding my engine

Yeah me to hondah8, Anyway, is it REALLY good? to do the atf trick or is it something that isn't all that good for the car. Well besides clogging the cats, which mine are already probably clogged along with the o2 sensor which is also **** and the plugs which are the only thing new on my whole damn car.

DO THE ATF!!!

It is damn sweet. Just be sure that you get the fluid on every rotor face and let it sit for ALAP (as long as possible). A week would be optimal, a few days is great, 24 hours is better than nothing. Use old plugs if you have em (on the initial startup afterward) or save the ones you use for next time.

ATF (and rain-x) is like crack for your car, once it gets it once, it's gotta have it again

So clean they're leaking?! Properly cleaned injectors don't leak. Crap stopping the pintle from sealing causes leaks. Pull them out and have them professionaly cleaned, those in-tank cleaners aren't nearly as good.

THANX NZ,I'll give it a whirl when i get her runnin' again!!
