[QUOTE="mountainranch, post: 367539, member: 5747"] Tom is probably right. I had the same prob. with my truck. Carbon builds up in the combustion chambers, and can get hot enough to glow cherry red. The hot carbon can act like a spark plug, igniting the fuel in the combustion chamber prematurely. This will cause clatter and eventually damage an engine. Get some seafoam, or similar engine cleaner, and squirt it into the throttle body intake ,with the engine revved to about 1500 rpm. Don't squirt in too much at once or you could hydrolock your engine. When you do this there will be lots of smoke out the exhaust. Take your time, rev the engine ,and use the whole bottle. It should get most of the carbon out. It worked for my truck. [/QUOTE]
