Are you talking about cleaning the carbon out ofthe combustion chambers? If so, you're talking about Seafoam. I'm not sure what "if i put it in pcm were is it." means, this activity shouldn't involve the pcm.

It doesn't do anything if it needs to be cleaned out, but you'll notice a bit of difference when it's done.

Click that for help. It gets kind of old explaining things. If only someone would come up with a way to search prior posts...

Just going for a long drive -- say 150 miles should blow out a lot of the carbon build-up. If you do a lot of stop and go traffic driving, you need to do some long road trip to clear out the carbon...

Disconnect the brake booster vacuum line and pour roughly half a can in there SLOWLY with the engine running. Then turn it off, let it soak for bout 15 mins, then reconnect everything start it up let it idle for bout 10 more minutes then take it for a nice and fast drive. You'll see tons of smoke coming out, if you don't then your car was clean to begin with.
