Either way. Carbon build up on these new fangal motors isn't like it used to be on them old carburated motors. I dont think carbon build up is even a issue. Your cats would help let you know if it was. Run some top engine clean and drive the hell out of it for a day to see if help, couldn't hurt, but I doubt carbon build up is a problem.
