Use the search button....!!

Ahhhhh, nevermind:

ATF Trick:

Proper procedure from A to Z:

1) Buy ATF
2) Buy 4 BUR9EQ (all colder, just for a minor "upgrade")
3) Let engine cool down completely
4) Remove EGI fuse and/or Main
5) Remove lower plugs and wires
6) Using a squirter, squirt ATF 2-3 times into each hole
7) Bump starter for 1 sec
8) Repeat squirting for 3 or 4 times (dont put in more than 100cc ATF)
9) Put plugs and wires back in (to keep ATF in)
10) Leave car alone for 7-8 hours
11) Bump starter for 2-3 secs
12) Repeat "Leave car alone" 2 times (totally for 24 hours)
13) Remove plugs, and bump starter to let as much ATF as possible pour out
14) Put plugs/wires/fuses back in
15) Start car (it may take some tries) OUTSIDE OF YOUR GARAGE
16) Let it idle for 10 minutes
17) If the smoke has cleared, stop engine, replace plugs
18) Take car on a highway and redline it for a minute or so

PS: this great write-up is not mine. so credit goes to whoever wrote it.
