    The first hint that you are doing something wrong is you have a fuel injected car and your cleaning with carb cleaner.

    Use fuel injector cleaner to start with(or throttle body cleaner.) I used to clean my MAS with a toothbrush and some TB cleaner. Always worked good for me.

    well then the motomaster brand is clearly garbage lol

    but as long as it works good then that's all that matters!

    monkey your fine. a fuel additive for gas motors work on all gas motors.
    what youds can be potentialy dangerous to the motor but if it is used in moderation he'll be just fine.
