- No, this is not the way to go upone it! (-: What you do is go to
- your auto parts store and get a bottle of engine degreaser (costs about
- $3 for a couple of uses.) You're supposed to cover up your distributor,
- spark plugs, and air filter box. Then, you spray the stuff all over
- your engine and let it sit for 10-15minutes and spray off with water.
- After doing this, then you drive the car around for 15-30 minutes.
- If you don't want to do it yourself and get it even cleaner, bring it
- to a detailing place and they'll steam clean your engine. This costs
- between $30-50 depending on where you go and what kind of car you have.
