Is there any fuel additive that will help a sticky valve? If so, where can I get some? tia

Sticky valve? the only thing that i can think of is valve float.. but you probably aren't expieriencing that. What is the problem your having? bad compression? maybe the valve seats are bad. anyone else.

Yeah, I had a compression test done by mitsu and they said that cylinder two only went up to 75 the first time they did the test. But the second time they did the test, they got it to go up to 180 like the rest of the cylinders. They said that it might have been a sticky valve or that the valve spring was getting ready to go. And then the other day my boss said that he might have heard my car misfiring(?). I think that's what he said...but anyways, he told me that it might be from a sticky valve. So I wanted to see if there was anything that might be a quick fix. Thanks for the info so far though!
