thanks

I did change the oil following the purge, and the car did sit for awhile before I drove it. I notice some black crap on the fuel pre-filter after the purge, not much stuff, but since this went well.. I may go to once a year. I am putting on 18,000 miles + per year.

I drove it today to work, and notice it has "smoothed out" acceleration, very smooth at highway speeds, no smoke on hard accelerating, and I believe it is even quieter overall....

I believe.....
