just spray the god damn stuff in there and leave it alone! its probably not driving smooth because you cant actualy drive! you said it jumps about at 30mph? do you ever leave first gear and hmmm use 2nd 3rd 4th or 5th? try that

anyway.
However if your car does 60 miles a day,5 days a week then it probably wouldnt need a catch tank would it?As its my car,its just dirty.Oh and did i say its done 130k?Not bad for that type of mileage really!

i do 100 miles a day in my c16xe stripped out nova, 6 days a week!
I was refering to all the oil sludge build up in your throttle body not your dirty engine!

spraying the carb cleaner in the inlet with the air filter off will lead to the 4 holes your referring too.

Yes, but it won't do anything.
If you spray it in the inlet pipe on the drivers side of the engine bay, with the engine running, it will do more.
