Default Another Rough Idling Fix

Been chasing a rough idling for about three months and after replacing filters, rotten vacuum hoses, spark plugs, wires, etc., found out that it was a carbon build-up issue. Ran some Seaform through and the car is running 90% better. Still has a little carbon, but the rough idling is practically gone. Car is a 02 Vert with 94K miles. I do a lot of city driving which I'm sure contributed to the build-up.

How much of a smoke show did you get?

I had it done at LEP in Vegas and did not actually see it. I drove the car on the Interstate for about an hour and a half to clear out any residuals, and there was almost zero smoke visible. It took him about 20 minutes to do the Seaform treatment.
