am a little confused as to how a lean burn engine is prone to cokeing up,i would of thought if you use the car hard now and then and use fuel with a cleaning aditive you should be ok

that because it injects the fuel stright in to the cylinder so you get no wash on the valves from the fuel. putting fuel cleaner does nothing but maybe cleans the injectors as does driving it hard. the problem is it cokes up the valves with carbon deposits so much so it cant breath resulting in uneven running and stalling
