All cosumer level products I know of are a waste of time and money.

Ok,

So I just finished the induction service (Using BG valve cleaner) and GOD is the car much much smoother. Idle problem that I have been hunting is completely gone!!!! I wish I had known this before I spend almost 2k trying trouble shooting this problem.

My advice? Stop listening to those that say BG products don't work. Think about it this way. If you don't benefit it won't hurt it. I am not, in any way, affiliated with BG company nor I am trying to advertise for them. Simply stating my experience with their products. BG 44k and BG air induction cleaner.

I will attach the video

I had the dealer do the BG service 4000 miles ago. The intake valves still have deposits.

And if I remember, your engine was not having a funny idle condition-actually no performance issues at all.

you need the BG GDI intake cleaner. It is sprayed into a vaccum line or throttle body not something you pour into a tank. As advised by more experienced members gasoline stuff does not reach intake valves because the injectors are downstream

Louisville, KY is where a lot of my friends and family live, I am actually in WV and this is where the video was taken. Glad to know you are from the State with most beautiful sky.
