3M Do-It-Yourself Fuel System Tune-Up Kit, 08963 Reviews
I suspected that my 96 crown vic formerly owned by a enderly couple since it was new in 1996 was probably all carboned up from only in town and out to the farm driving. I put dual police exhausts on it, superchips power tuner and a kn filter, but never felt I was getting full performance.br /I ran the kit with the 15 minutes of ideling with the cleaner going into the engine, the 16 oz bottle of fuel injector cleaner and cleaned the dirty throttle body and now I have a car that keeps up with our local 2007 crown vic police car. 0-60 is now in the 7 second bracket and fuel mileage is unreal. If I drive without ethanol, pure 100% 91 octane gasoline it can get 31 mpg at 55 mph. I have the digital speedometer that has the instant gas mileage meter on it. Crusing on the freeway at 75 mph I average 26 to 27 mpg and all this is happening in a 4000 pound car that rides like none else. Also a little 4.6 (281 cubice inch) motor.br /Of course if I play with the car gas mileage is less than 10 mpg but you have to expect that of a car that can now go more than an honest 120 mph.br /Local police officer is a great friend and he wanted to see what it would do as his police intercepter is limited to a 120. I chickened out at 120 as at 65 years of age I thought about reaction time and slowed down.

Much Improved Throttle Response - Nicolasj - St. Louis, MO
The 3M DIY Tune-up kit worked as described. I just used it on my wife's 96' Saturn SL1 because I was suspecting misfires when climbing hills. My scanner didn't turn up any codes, but something was definitely wrong. The last few mechanics have all recommended a fuel system service so I wanted to give this a try first. I was quoted 9 from a mechanic to do a similar type service and 0 to perform the chemical injector cleaning that feeds directly into the fuel rail. Don't believe I will be needing that service now because the hesitation is gone. br /br /You may notice that the car won't start after spraying the throttle plate cleaner. I suppose I should have tried harder to clean up the pool of dirty fluid off the the bottom of the throttle body. Next time I will park half the car on the curb to help it drain out on its own. Easy to use - I only needed pliers to take off the intake and some scissors to trim the intake system cleaner tube oh and a brick to keep the accelerator steady.
Works great! - Thick Vik - Bay Aera
It cleaned out both of my vehicles and noticed more power in both as well.
