how do I use the GM top engine cleaner?

Take the brake booster vacuum line, the big one on the left, and suck it through that. Probably the easiest, IMO. I usually stick a funnel in there and pour it through the funnel.

Yup. Exactly the way I do it. I don't dump it in too fast though or it will kill the engine. Just keep the throttle open a bit and start pouring.

If you use the brake booster line, squeeze it a bit so it's not wide open. It won't hardly do shit if it sucks it all in at once and there's a slight chance of hydrolock. You want to let it in slowly so it can do it's job.

wow that stuff is cool

 

 

in smoked at idle when i was done for like 2 minutes...

 

i then reved it up and blue smoke every where.....and it stunk.

 

then i went down the road and full throttle to 65 mph and then drove about 70 mph for 2-3 miles and a small blue cloud followed me...

 

 

 

Well, from this, i can feel a little more down-low power in OD....i doesn't kick out of OD up hills like it used to do..

 

 

It seems to rev easier through the gears.....all in all, i like it.

Did you shut it off after it sucked up the bottle?

 

Or did you just go out and drive it?

 

From my experience's it smokes more if you just drive and not let it shut off.

Driver's side, right against the firewall.

 

See the hose right behind the tranny dipstick? (yours should be right there too.):
