Hi,

I came back from my usually trustworthy mechanic who recommended I get
a motorvac done on my 1999 honda civic for $150 (Canadian).

Nothing?s particularly wrong with the car, but I do notice some
hesitation when switching gears.

I just wanted to know if anyone?s heard of motorvac and if it is a
worthwhile procedure.

thanks for your help,
--andrew

I don't know personally, but Tom and Ray Magliozzi--the Car Talk guys on
NPR--think it's a good idea.

There are a couple versions, one for oil and one for combustion chambers.

They also recommend the "Wallet-Vac."

Honda suggests not using this service.

Is there a TSB on it?

Here's what I found on GOOGLE where YOU should have looked;
http://www.motorvac.com/

It's some sort of fuel or oil system cleaning using their detergents.

Or at least asked if anyone has had any bad luck or something like that with
motorvac.

If it's got tits, tires, tubes, or transistors, it's trouble.
