FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT CARBON CLEANING AN ENGINE

Here are some of the questions we usually get regarding carbon cleaning an engine.

Why  carbon clean an engine?

There are several problems that a car will encounter when it has a carbon buildup and need a carbon cleaning of the engine. One issue is the car is unable to pickup speed due to a loss of power and has very poor acceleration. This is especially noticeable in high performance cars.

Secondly, an engine that misfires, stalls, has a very rough engine idle, or has a knocking or pinging may also be experiencing a carbon buildup in the engine.

There are many reasons for the illumination of the check engine light while driving, and one of those reasons may be carbon buildup in the engine. Another symptom is reduced fuel efficiency.

Why is carbon cleaning your engine important?

Improved Engine Performance: Carbon deposits can accumulate on the intake valves, combustion chambers, and fuel injectors, causing reduced airflow, decreased fuel efficiency, and compromised engine performance. Carbon cleaning helps to restore proper airflow and fuel atomization, leading to better engine efficiency and power output.

Prevent Engine Problems: Carbon deposits can lead to issues such as knocking or pinging (pre-ignition), which can damage the engine over time. By removing carbon buildup, the risk of these problems is reduced, potentially prolonging the life of the engine.

Restore Fuel Economy: A car’s fuel economy can decline as carbon deposits accumulate in the engine. Carbon cleaning can help improve fuel efficiency, saving the car owner money on fuel costs.

Smoother Idle and Driving Experience: Carbon deposits can affect the engine’s idle stability and cause rough or uneven engine operation. After carbon cleaning, the engine is likely to run more smoothly and provide a better driving experience.

What Are The Carbon Cleaning Methods?

There are several methods for carbon cleaning an engine including:

• Chemical additives: Adding specific cleaning agents to the fuel or intake system to dissolve carbon deposits gradually.
• Manual cleaning: Physically removing carbon deposits from the engine components.
• Walnut blasting: Using crushed walnut shells to blast away carbon deposits from intake valves and ports.
• Hydrogen/oxygen cleaning: Introducing hydrogen and oxygen into the intake system to help break down carbon deposits.

How often should carbon cleaning be performed?

The frequency of carbon cleaning depends on the car’s make and model, driving habits, and the quality of fuel used. Our  team of auto mechanics in Astoria can advise on when and how often to perform carbon cleaning.
