Thanks nyc and shady. I will report back after this weekend about how it all went. I hope to get a video because I have a strange feeling this is going to cover the neighborhood.

well I did my decarb using seafoam this past weekend. EASY to do. I got a little bit of smoke, not nearly as much as I expected but enough to get a sense that it worked well. Thanks for the diy!

Question
I ran a 1/2 can of zoom zoom thru the engine and let it sit overnight Friday. It fired right up in the morning. Is there any detrimental reason to not let it sit overnight? It seemed to work better the longer it was in the engine.
To date, I have run 2 cans of Zoom Zoom thru the LIM, 2 cans of BG44K thru the gas tank, 1 quart of LC FP+ in 4oz doses thru the gas tank, and 1 quart of LC LC20 in 2oz doses thru the oil.

so if my enginesw experiencing a little lack of power, would you guys reccomend doing this first and seeing what happens before checking to see if its anything more serious?

As for your P2070 code, theres a couple good topics on it, done at the dealer its somewhat pricey, definitely could DIY if youre relatively good with a wrench and such.

I just recently bought my Mazda Rx8 Silver 04
My friend recommended that I buy this cleaner, and I ve ordered it and its on its way
There is one question I have..
There is a picture where you point out the two nipples, which is where you stick the tubes, and in your picture and in my friends car the nipples are closed. but in my 04 the nipples arent close and they have small hoses connecting to them which lead to the oil.. so is it still possible for me to use the cleaner?

not much smoke?
just seaformed my 8 through vacum tube today, not much smoke came out![Dunno](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/dunno.gif)
I guess my engine wasn't that dirty after all![Dunno](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/dunno.gif)
So, should I still add some seaform to my gas tank?
How do you add it into the gas tank btw?

those tubes are there to burn the oil fumes coming outa your oil pan.
after you spray the stuff in, Just put it back the way it was
or
your engine isnt dirty at all

okk so I bought the seafoam from finishlineperformance and I have some free time this wednesday so im thinking on doing it to my 8..
now i dont think my battery is strong enough, would it be a bad idea to have a friend jump my car while doing this??
