Some scary stuff huh? I tried it and said "f" it when my car started throwing codes.

Anyone man enough to continue this method of cleaning the manifold and valves???

Outside or inside of the engine?

Steam outside: dangerous as the moisture can get into the electrical connectors
Inside. ie.. feeding water via vaccum hoses. Works great(so I've heard) IF you do it properly.

Those guys on the Miata site do it. I might try this as well. Must be careful about how much feed into the engine or "clunk".
