Just started the tc-w3 treatment on my 98 max se. Hope it cleans the $&@k out of my injectors. Been getting a sporadic bucking almost like a miss in drive/ reverse at stop. Swapped all coils and changed plugs to no avail. Cleaned tb/ iac etc. fingers crossed with the treatment
fyi did some sea foam then a couple tanks with chevron Techron and the bucking happens much less frequent so I think problem is fuel related. Also changed fuel filter recently.

Is there a shelf life to TCW-3? I haven't put it in my car for a few years now and recently the P0400 code started coming up, so I am going to do two things:
- replace the gas cap
- refill with premium and add TCW-3
Can I use the TCW-3 that has been sitting in my garage for 2+ years?
- replace the gas cap
- refill with premium and add TCW-3

After the new fuel and fuel cap replacement, letting it run 30 min and driving around the past couple days, the EGR code hasn't come back but I'll post if it does.
Thanks for the ideas, guys.
