Car Runs (and Shifts) Better Now, After Using Carb Cleaner

Alright, I took the suggestion of some of the articles on this board and went ahead and sprayed some carb cleaner (and whole can full by the way) into the intake manifold by way of the vacuum tubes attached to it. I first removed a cap at the front of the manifold and sprayed a lot into that hole. I then sprayed some into both the pvc inlet and the one above the throttle body (near the tps). The car seems to have jumped to life. Throttle is more responsive, shifting is now smoother (especially into 3rd gear as it was jerking into that gear before sometimes). Just thought I'd let y'all know. Next, recover leather seats (after christmas). Maybe new tranny after that just to ease my mind. I don't trust this one with 212000 miles.
