Decarbonize a series 1 renesis

I am goin to carbon clean my 04 series ll renesis engine and I have an idea where to apply the solution, but would like confirmation. I plan on using the vacuum line that is 12 o' clock directly on top of the air intake leading into the throttle body? Any information is appreciated either with this method or any others

Mod Edit: Changed the title to reflect the member's 2004 model has a Series 1 engine.

You use the same exact spot as on series 1 engines, except there are 2 tubes going to it on series 2 instead of the caps on the series 1. Look around the forum there are many links to the azda TSB on how to decarbon, its also in the TSB for deflooding.

You did say you have an 04 though, so are you sure you have a series 2 engine..?

Well its the same procedure like I said, except the s2 engine has hoses connected to the ports you need to put the seafoam into.

I have a 07 with series 1 engine, and I have two hoses joined by a T-junction to a main hose that goes back to the oil filler neck...

So I think this setup is already in use even on S1 engines.

I think I have a S2 because I have n S2 otherwise why would I have hoses running to my intake manifold and not nipple plugs, the original S1 engine required replacement n it got replaced with a S2
In the TSB it states to increase your OMP pressure to insert more oil to add extra lube but this isn't possible for me so I am seeking another method by add 2 stroke into the same ports I apply the
I think you need to read OP's original post..

The OP is not sure or does not know what Renesis engine he has in his 04...or the fact that he may have a later S1 intake manifold installed..

So Who exactly should "try" again...

This is the wrong place for this thread or any other discussion you want to have and people posting non-DIY threads here in the DIY area is rampant, and I might point probably more rampant than people posting S1 or S2 series threads in the wrong area - your opus so to speak. If you want to be helpful then locking or towing it out of here (it obviously did not get "moved") and educating them about what makes a suitable DIY thread in the process might be a good idea ...

Just so YOU are aware...I do not and can not Mod S1 once a Thread is moved into S1.
For YOUR information the OP put this thread in the DIY section in S2.

IF you have any further criticism of what I do here, smart ***, please continue.

Any one know a simple method of removing the hose from the throttle boot I just don't wanna mess around with it too much, just use a pliers I'm kinda clueless after I looked at the connection
YOUR Helpful REPLY...to a new member...

Today, some 6 weeks later you are explaining yourself as to why you are not helpful, and then offering advise.
