Transmission fluid 'was' the common go-to for cleaning an engine. Inexpensive.

Add a little bit.
Rev without load. The detergent sinks behind the piston oil ring gap and eventually flushes carbon.
And then with load. A short trip.
Change oil.

But band-aids don't help. Long term.
If an injector or spark plug or O2 sensor is gumming up the system, the problem will come back.
