that's awful. What did you spend like multiple hours idling in traffic?

cleaned that intake after I did the glow plugs. restored a lot of power. maybe the injectors do leak or something. I put used ones in it. I bought it with misfiring cylinders from lazy injectors. wheel bearings feel tight and wheel slides nice and easy.

keen? that stuff worries me putting in your oil. I'd be afraid it washes stuff away it isn't supposed to. if your car came out gooey and tarry that tells me your car has missed a lot of oil changes
