Go for a long drive on the express way, it gets the engine hot which helps get rid of carbon. I drove four hours to visit a friend when I first got my rex and after that it was faster and felt a lot better.

The induction fuel system cleaning offered by service stations helped my car a lot when I first got it. Other than that I recommend pouring a few ounces of MMO thru the leading spark plug holes or any suitable vaccum port on the tb. Bump the motor a few times to distribute it and let it soak overnight. Then start it and watch it smoke up the neighborhood and go for a "spirited" drive.
