What does “blow the carbon out” really do?
Occasionally, I will see a car in front of me, floor it (gas pedal), and when they do puffs of black smoke, come out the back of the car as the car hits full throttle. What gives?

I recently had this done because my check engine light came on. The dealer said come back in 2 weeks and for $199 we’ll tell you what the light means.
I went to Midas, it was my catalytic converter sensors. They did a fuel injection cleaner, told me to put higher octane gas in the car and put in some STP and drive it 100 miles. For $99, they fixed the problem in 2 hours instead of making me wait 2 weeks to find out what the problem was.
It actually took 140 miles, the check engine light went off, I passed my inspection, and I am good to go for another year. FO Ford dealer.
