i have recently found out by doing some research on an emmissions dyno that the fuel distributors on all these cars have out of calibration issues.when they reach 120-150kmls there is enough dirt in them to mess up the calibration.just because it runs ok does'nt mean it's good.no i don't own shares or have any connection with specialtauto.com.if i had to recommend a 2000 dlr repair to a client to fix a prob they would call me nuts but now a better product is available for less than 500.my own car would never start easily when warm and i did everything possible except replace the distributor.after replacement it starts easily every time cold or hot,increased mileage from 13 to 18,has a lot more torque and will now easily pass texas emmissions without my having to play with fuel mixture.incidently it still has original cats.
