As far as the HHO, I wonder what long term effects it will have on the engine? I know that starting fluid can seriously damage a diesel and considering the explosive nature of hydrogen, you'd be changing the combustibility characteristics (heat, pressure, etc.). I wonder if it is similar to using ether?

I am not familiar with what ether does to an ICE. The was trying to explain to a group of Highschool students of the affect of HHO, why is combust majority of the fuel during combustion process. The only thing I can easily explain is; It's like having thousands of igniter plugs during combustion to ignite all the fuel, instead of just having one with HHO you have thousands.
I will ask my group on the affect of ether so I can learn about something new, it's not something I've toyed with.
The door vacuum I will check and check vacuum system as well. The car shutdown normal this morning will see after work.
