    Hi,

    I came back from my usually trustworthy mechanic who recommended I get
    a motorvac done on my 1999 honda civic for $150 (Canadian).

    Nothing’s particularly wrong with the car, but I do notice some
    hesitation when switching gears.

    I just wanted to know if anyone’s heard of motorvac and if it is a
    worthwhile procedure.



    thanks for your help,
    --andrew

    I don't know personally, but Tom and Ray Magliozzi--the Car Talk guys on
    NPR--think it's a good idea.

    There are a couple versions, one for oil and one for combustion chambers.

    Honda suggests not using this service.

    They also recommend the "Wallet-Vac."

    Is there a TSB on it?

    Here's what I found on GOOGLE where YOU should have looked;
    http://www.motorvac.com/

    It's some sort of fuel or oil system cleaning using their detergents.

    Or at least asked if anyone has had any bad luck or something like that with
    motorvac.
