GM New maintenance Kit

[RyanbabZ71]

General Motors has introduced a new 3 Step Maintenance Fuel Induction Service Kit to the Vehicle Care product line. The GM part number is 12378546. In Canada, the AC Delco part number is 88901364. Each kit includes three containers: Fuel System Treatment, Induction Cleaner, and Throttle Body Cleaner (fig. 17). The kits are available from GMSPO and are sold by the case. One case contains enough cleaner to service 12 vehicles.

 

The three-step kit is designed to de-carbon engines and is intended for use with mileage-driven service menus. A typical customer comment may refer to rough idle.

Tool Kit

 

A tool kit (fig. 18) to apply the cleaning materials is also available from GMSPO, part number E-957-001.

 

Maintenance Kit

The maintenance kit includes three containers of cleaning solvents, each for a specific purpose.

 

The Fuel System Treatment is to be poured into the fuel tank. It cleans the fuel system and fuel injectors, intake valves and combustion chamber. Clean fuel system components contribute to lower emissions.

 

The Throttle Body Cleaner is packaged in a spray can and is used to clean the throttle body and lubricate the throttle plate. It also cleans the idle air control by-pass. This product is toluene-free and includes an ester oil lubricant.

 

The Induction Cleaner cleans the front and back of the throttle body butterfly. It also cleans the intake plenum and runner, intake valves and combustion chamber. This product is toluene-free, so it is safe for seals and gaskets and will not harm plenum, catalytic convertors or oxygen sensors.

 

Procedure

Procedures are described in detail in the manual that accompanies the kit. The exact steps required vary depending on the type of fuel injection system on the vehicle.

 

Generally, the procedure calls for three steps:

 

- First, pour a bottle of Fuel System Treatment in the fuel tank.

 

- Second, thoroughly clean the throttle body, using the Throttle Body Cleaner and a brush.

 

-Third, apply a container of Induction Cleaner. Because of the various induction systems used on GM engines, the kit includes TBI sprayer tips (fig. 19), multiport S-sprayer tips (fig. 20), vacuum delivery adapters, and EGR adapter (fig. 21). Follow the appropriate instructions. The engine must be running, and some of the tools require the use of compressed air.

 

*** The fuel cleaner comes in a bottle with gm labels but looks identical to that of the techron cleaner.  I am thinking it is the techron stuff

I used a kit similar to that on my 97 Dodge, the only difference was that instead of pouring anything in the tank you would hook up a pressurized bottle into the fuel rail.  It was the same type of stuff though and it worked really good.
