I buy the aerosol. About 6 cans for a full good cleaning. About $3-4 a can. -'96 SE MTX 3L -'98 SVT 1,173 of 6,535 -'05 Mazda 6s, loaded, g/f's ride -Need a 96-00 manual on CD? PM or email me

I buy a can or two of Beryyman's for the UIM and then a can or two of Valvoline TB cleaner for the LIM and valves.

Getting ready to jump into this now. Wish me like, I just might be back here needing help later tonight (I hope not)

Seafoam is an alternative to the Berrymans if you can't find it. Just don't let too much of it run down inside the engine. Otherwise you will be pulling the plugs to get the engine to turn over.

I have done it about three times myself and after the first time its really easy. I had NO LUCK with the Berryman's (just my experience) and the only thing that would TOUCH the gunk on the LIM and UIM was oven cleaner from Food Lion Grocery Store. After spraying it in the UIM and LIM heavily, I took them to the coin-pressure wash place and the gunk came out without much effort. I never got a chance to try the SeaFoam. Oh, a word on the fuel injectors - be sure they are secure in the fuel rail when reassembling - one of mine wasnt and DANGEROUSLY was leaking fuel on top of the engine. I had to tear everything apart again and reseat it. I hope this helps: Hal's How To This site will eventually change hosts (sometime this coming summer) but for now it will be a good link. Good luck! 1998 SVT + Goodies Hal's How To's

Yep 10 year old car and the UIM had never been clean. 6 cans of Berrymans did the trick. Just keept spraying it on the carbon. Almost everyone on the site uses Berrymans and never heard of a complaint. Oven Cleaner?! You have to be kidding me. Don't know what you were doing. Spraying a little on isn't going to eat it off. You might have to use some vinyl bristle brushes too. -'96 SE MTX 3L -'98 SVT 1,173 of 6,535 -'05 Mazda 6s, loaded, g/f's ride -Need a 96-00 manual on CD? PM or email me
