I have a that I'm sure is caused by running too rich. The car idles good, but spits out carbon deposits out of the exhaust and smells like gas. Also ALL 6 of my new plugs (Bosch Platinums) were carbon fouled in less than a month of installing them. At the same time I replaced the wires with Magnecore 8.5mm wires. A few month after installing the plugs and wires, I read that supras shouldn't be running Bosch plugs. I still don't think that this caused the problem since the plugs I replaced were all fouled with carbon as well. Any help would be great.

You should look into a product called Seafoam. It will clear your carbon woes, and make your engine nice again.

Any for deatil on cleaning them with water injection. I might try the seafoam stuff first and if it cmes down to it then I'll use the water injection process.

Better check your O2 sensor before cleaning.

If you're running rich on a stock setup a faulty sensor may very well cause the problem. When you don't fix it first, you will get more and more carbon no mattter how may times you clean the engine. :)
