I work at a Firestone, and we have a injector cleaner that works okay.
It will run a bit funny for about a week or so after the cleaning, but after that Ive notice a huge difference in smoothness.
It revs beautifully now.

Check all of your OMP lines make sure they aren't brittle and that oil is flowing through them. I like to mix in 2 stroke oil in my gas just for added protection.

I hear that the S4 OMP never fails so 2 stroke probably isn't necessary but it makes me feel better when I'm into the gas.
