I think this explanation is for situations that lack a proper answer based upon combustion theory.

I'm leaning toward possible air that gets trapped in the hard lines. Maybe it takes a few miles to get rid of it all. I don't see how it's possible to damage the injector and, within 600 miles, have it repair itself via the use of a small amount of Power Service conditioner.

I did crack the hard line and attempt to bleed any and all air, so, this theory can be quickly shot down...........
