I have not used that product in particular. However I have used their fuel system treatment, power steering fluid, and their engine oil additive with excellent results.

I would just run seafoam through the gas tank and change the spark plugs. You can get seafoam at Walmart or any autoparts store and just pour the bottle in with gas and since you have close to 100k miles you should go ahead and change the spark plugs if you haven't already.

I see you're from Atlanta, what part?

It's been really hot, haha, I go to Georgia Tech and live in Lawrenceville.

I did some research and it seems like it doesn't really do anything unless you actually have a loss of compression in your cylinder. Moreover, its not a permanent fix, you have to keep putting a bottle in at every oil change.

I have used Lucas injector cleaner from day one. Don't really know if it works,but I haven't had any injector problems. I have no idea what the valves or combustion chambers look like. It is cheaper if you buy it by the gallon and refill the five oz bottle to add it to the tank.
