Yes, it's really a thing. I don't troll.
Used this product several times and it's work, again it can usually clean out the carbon buildup in the throttle body.
OTOH, this emission's test is a total bunch of crap, especially with the CEL failing people. You can drive a car for years with a CEL on with not one issue.
The dealers and repair shops along with the state of Virginia have made a fortune off these tests. What a crock of crap!
So many other car issues are more important such as brakes, idle control arms, oil burning cars.
