Hi, Dan, and thanks for your purchase. No two high-mileage engines are going to behave exactly the same, especially across different manufacturers. Berryman Intake Valve & Combustion Chamber Cleaner (part #2611) burns extremely cleanly, so any smoking you see is the direct result of cleaning. The Olds clearly had a lot of deposits, which isn’t surprising given its age and mileage. Perhaps the Hyundai just didn’t.
As far as what you could/should have done differently on the Genesis, we always recommend applying the chemical AFTER the MAF sensor because it’s sensitive and expensive, and the 2611 chemistry is relatively aggressive and more than capable of damaging the wires and housing. If getting into the air-intake system at the throttle body doesn’t work well, we recommend looking for a suitable vacuum line—PCV valve, brake booster, etc.—and using the blue step adapter rather than the yellow straw.
Hope that helps. Feel free to give me a call or shoot me a text if you want to chat more about this. Cell number is below.
Best regards,
