    You don't have to. It just cleans carbon build up off the upper parts of the intake and what not. I do it about every 10K or so.

    It makes a difference in my truck. I suggest do this, and pick up some MAF sensor cleaner. These are two of the easiest things to do and they make a big difference. The MAF Sensor cleaner is like 8 bucks, but a can last forever.

    When I first got my 01 Screw I did it and I didn't get any smoke at all. Truck had 130xxx miles.

    The only time mine will hiccup or anything is if I pour it in too fast, but other then that it runs normal while I'm pouring. There will be a slight shake from the vacuum line being loose, but other then that it's idling around the normal RPM.

    That's it, you were doing it right then. Like I said, I've never seen one NOT smoke, but that's just me. I've done 5 different cars and they all smoked like crazy for the first 5 minutes or so after firing them back up. I'm stumped... :shrug:
