Re: Blue Smoke
I just love happy endings....well except for the u-joints! I'm sure that the Texas ZR-1 owners organization will get 'er dunn!
I forgot this fact and it could be important. Luis, you have RC's right? I just remembered that they have a different tip design than the ACDelco/OEM-GM injectors...they are not self-cleaning. Slime in the gas can clog the RC's because they don't use the disc design like the OE injector tips. I use that Techron / Techrolene cleaner every other month on my car. Sorry I plead senility on forgetting this! Tom

Re: Blue Smoke
Hey Luis, I'm blushing! Besides, I missed telling you to test the secondary solenoid, didn't I?
You are welcome, man. I try to help if I am able to do so because I was helped. Pay it forward, right? Our Brotherhood is tight! Oh, the Techrolene stuff or Techron is a product of Chevron as an additive in their gas. They bottle it as fuel treatment and I buy it at Costco in four packs...because it's cheaper than at the parts store. I do remember Gordon saying that it is okay to use that as a fuel additive for mild cleaning and as a preventative measure. I can't find any Chervron stations where I live so I use BP or Shell 93 in my car and add the Techron stuff just to be sure. I'm a belt & suspenders type! Now get'er dunn! Tom
