Anytime, friend.

 

I too, wanted to say thanks for all the help I get in here. It has helped me tremendously in a few of the problems I have had. I never realized the power of forums like this till I started useing them quite often. I wanted to say thanks too. Tom

 

No sweat, Buck. Did you get the issues worked out?

 

No Matt, I'm still having idle problems but to a somewhat lesser scale. I have replaced the dist cap, rotor, plug wires, spark plugs and my next step is changing the idle air motor when I get the money. I tend to think the injectors are dirty because at 45 or 50 under a load, it does what I call "Fishbiting". Can they be cleaned or just have to be replaced? Thanks again. Tom

 

It is a little expensive but the Techron you buy in a black bottle works very good to clean the injectors.

I always use it strong.They say to use a full tank of gas.I use a 1/4 tank and it works great.I notice a difference within 2 miles.

 

I agree with that. I've used it before, it seems to work well. Something else I used, but can't remember the name of, worked great. You put it directly into the intake by way of the throttle body. I think it was Sea-something.

 

That would be SeaFoam, a marine strength cleaner. Here's the cleaning procedure (also on the can, but this is the internet and the instructions are more detailed and colorful!)
Intake Cleaning

Friends that work in the petrochemical field assert that Chevron's Techron is an excellent injector cleaner. The bottled "additive" is potent. Many brands of gasoline include Techron.
