CRC Intake Valve Cleaner, where to spray

Exactly as it says. Which hose near the throttle body? Also how to rev the engine from the engine bay to get the cleaner in there? Figure start doing it when I do an oil change. I have a catch can and that has been working great. Highly recommended!

Have you found which hose to remove?
I'm in the process of doing this on my Fit as well.

thanks in advance

I have done this before, allow me to help.
Remove the PCV hose, the one literally on top of the intake manifold.
Make sure to block off the rest of the hose opening with something when sticking your straw through.
I used a small piece of 3/8" hose and two clamps to pinch it off and seal the vacuum.

Good luck.

Okay perfect. Next oil change will do this with the wife as she holds the rpm at 2k while spraying. I haven't done the spray and im at 36k, but catch can installed since 16k. Want to keep up with the maintenance of the intake valves before I eventually need to walnut blast them.

I use a torque wrench to keep the revs at 2k.

I push up the drivers seat and use the scissor jack from the trunk to keep the gas pedal depressed at 2k rpm.

I've been watching Youtube about CRC intake valve cleaner. Some of them are PRO and CON. Are they really working? Should we do it every 15k Miles? Thank you for advices.
