I took off MSD SCI ignition around a week ago and clean my throttle body using card cleaner. So far the car runs better but once a while the car is kind of bogging a little bit at idle and also during accelaration.But it's much better then before only still something not quite right yet. About the ignitor can I just change the ignitor only or the whole dizzy? Thanks.

keep that msd crap off. You MUST NOT use carb cleaner, it's diferent. You need to use intake manifold cleaner. You should replace the cap dizzy and plugs. Check your timing as well, and pull off the idle air control cylinoid off and clean that out too.

Nothing, it's the same thing.
Both clean, both are combustable, and both can be sprayed into an engine carburated or fuel injected.

I've used it for years, i've never heard of intake manifold cleaner..

I was always told their was a difference, and there are both types, they sit next to each other on the shelf at every auto store. The carb cleaner is much stronger than the intake manifold cleaner and can strip away the factory coating from the trottle body. If the bottle says it's good for both, then it is. I also know people who have used carb cleaner on their honda's, but i wouldnt risk it.
