I'll have to double check on the exact name at work tomorrow (I work at a
Honda dealership) and will post it on the list. I added it into the engine the
same way that the directions indicate for a Honda using the power brake
booster  line just a little at a time while opening the throttle. It will put out
some  oil looking smoke that will soon burn off in a matter of seconds. Another
product that I have found to be worthwhile is from a company called "BG".
They  sell  auto dealerships and repair facilities in my area (Virginia) a
variety of different flush products and machines. They have an two induction
cleaning products that I have used. One is added to the fuel tank-K44 and cleans
the injectors. The other is added to the intake as an aerosol with compressed
air. I can't remember the name of this particular product but you would  have
to go to a shop that uses the BG products unless you have some similar tool
that connects to compressed air and put the liquid chemical into an aerosol
form. If you also clean the throttle body with a brush and some good throttle
plate cleaner the results are quite remarkable. On the rodent subject; never
park your car in or near a barn. I've seen wiring issues caused by rodents go
into the thousands of dollars. Mostly due to extensive diagnostic time to find
 one wire somewhere that caused bizarre symptoms not covered by any technical
 service bulletins. The craziest thing that I saw was a customer that came
into  the service department complaining that his new Accord was getting
terrible gas  mileage and that he had to fill up the tank twice to get to the
dealership (30  mile trip). We opened the hood and found a gas guzzling ground hog in
the engine  compartment that had chewed through the fuel lines and didn't
want to leave.  Nothing really amazes me working in a dealership's service
department  anymore.
