Carbon Cleaning

Direct-injection engines can develop heavy intake-valve deposits. Elledge Auto performs carbon-cleaning service to restore airflow and drivability where appropriate.

Heavy carbon buildup on intake valves

Carbon Buildup Can Affect How Your Engine Runs

On many gasoline direct-injection engines, fuel is sprayed directly into the combustion chamber instead of washing over the intake valves. Over time, deposits can accumulate on the intake side.

Rough or uneven idle
Loss of performance or throttle response
Misfires and drivability concerns
Reduced airflow from heavy deposits

Elledge Auto can inspect the condition, diagnose the cause of the complaint and recommend cleaning when it makes sense for the vehicle.
