What type of cleaner did he use? If it was the type that you put in the gas tank he could have used to much,since your car only holds about 8 gallons.I was trying to be smart one day and put a bottle of carb cleaner in my truck before I left the house and drive about 5 miles to a gas station to fill up.The truck started smoking and missing and I had to be towed to the gas station the last 1/2 mile or so.
Didb't know what to do since the truck was running perfectly when I started it .Ended up filling the tank and after a few minutes of cranking the truck it started,ran rough for a couple minutes (while the fuel lines cleared) then ran perfect again.
