How are carbon deposits in the intake system typically removed?
How are carbon deposits in the intake system typically removed?
Carbon and other contaminants in the injector nozzles, on the intake valves, in the combustion chamber, on the O2 sensor and in the catalytic converter are removed and exit through the exhaust system. Even this type of cleaning is typically only about 75% effective (or less) in cleaning fuel injectors.
Does injector cleaner remove carbon?
While gasoline can keep fuel injection systems clean, there is not much it can do about carbon buildup. “Cleaning injectors, that’s good,” said Warholic of the cleansing gasoline. “But it is nowhere near the intake valve, so it is addressing a problem but not the intake valve problem.”
What should I do if my fuel injector is clogged?

How does gasoline keep fuel injection systems clean?
While gasoline can keep fuel injection systems clean, there is not much it can do about carbon buildup. The gas never touches the intake valves because it gets injected into the combustion chamber downstream of the intake valve.
Why do I have carbon build up in my intake valve?
According to Warholic, “Some vehicles are more prone to intake valve carbon buildup than others.” “These deposits can form quickly, within 20,000 to 25,000 miles and can cause issues related to fuel economy and performance because the intake valve can’t close properly,” he said.

(10 or 12, cant remember).
