Vehicle description further down in signature.
Last spring I added a can of BG-44K to a near empty gas tank and refilled with 93 octane fuel. Car ran ok for about 1/2 a tank then starting intermittently missing on the road. I suspected the BG-44K was breaking things loose and clogging the injectors. A few tanks full later, the problem cleared itself up. I never believed this single can of BG-44K got the system cleaned up. A few nights ago I added a 16z. can of Berryman's B-12 Chemtool to a near empty tank, then refilled with 93 octane Shell. Car ran OK for the first 60 miles. I stopped off to run an errand on the way home last night. Started car 15 mins. later - there was heat soak of course and about 2-3 miles later, car started missing intermittently on the highway. This happened just a few times, then cleared up for the remaining 15 mi. journey home. Parked in driveway, ran a few errands, came back and started car. It died. Restarted OK and got it in the garage. Shut it off, then tried to restart without success - engine just cranked rapidly. I let it cool off for 5-10 min and got it to start, but the idle was erratic, bouncing up and down, then finally stalling. After a 2 hr. cool off, the car started w/o stalling and idle was fairly stable, though certainly not smooth. This morning I started the car and it idled up to around 1000-1200 rpm like it always does and eventually settled down to around 600-700 rpm. Last year when I used the BG-44K, I experienced most of my problems with a WARM motor as I did last night. I'm fairly convinced that both the 44K and B-12 caused this problem as no other work had/has been done and the car was running failry well before hand in both cases prior to adding the snake oil to the gas tank. I'll likely have to run a couple of tanks of fuel through before this clears up and once that's happened, I'll go ahead and change fuel filter and any tank screens that may be installed. I promised myself last night that I am finally once and for all DONE with fuel system products and will eventually pull the injectors and have them professionally cleaned. I have had little success with garages in my area that supposedly specialize in an sort of MB work. Could anyone point me at a repair facility that I could ship my injectors to for professional cleaning?. I believe it's going to take a measure this serious to reinstate the correct spray pattern/pressure. Thanks for your time.
