If a product like a catch can can clean the air going into the intake void of any sensors, why cant their be a similar recirculating product after the catch can that holds a cleaning agent that slowly pulls air in mixed with something that keeps the valves clean? Maybe even incorporate it as a second stage in your Catch can? A "Seafoam" Can?
Just a thought... so be kind.

Do you have a V8 or V6? If V8, the port injectors constantly shower your valves and keeps them clean even to 200 k plus miles. If a DI engine, then you do need to stop it.Adding piggy back port injectors will cause detonation with the 11.5:1 CR as fuel is then present during the entire intake and compression stroke and that is where detonation occurs. DI that fuel is only present for milliseconds as it is not until the final 10% or so of the compression stroke before the fuel is introduced, so it is already nearly complete through the burn before it can even make contact with the piston top (the reason these engine can run 11.3-11.5 CR on 87 octane).
As far as the seafoam idea, you would have to have to constantly be refilling. Not good as these solvents are not good to use other than sporadically. Same with adding meth injection. It can help reduce build-up. but you would also have to spray all the time to accomplish what a good truly effective catchan system would do, and with the thread on catchcan R&D going on, it is an eye opener on how poorly most cans actually function.
