im not exactly sure. but, it was having trouble and would hardly start at about a quarter tank. once i actually got it started at quarter tank, i went straight to the gas station and i topped her off and shes been starting well every time.

Well, it's possible the gauge is off or the sender's bad... or perhaps you just had some bad fuel in there.

Yellow can of HEAT.
put in tank. top off. Supreme.

Run it empty.

Here's where I would run it bone dry. Pull in.
Get a can of ATF. insert funnel. add ATF to tank.
fill up. Supreme.
Fill up. Supreme.

Then run that half dry. Top off with your choice of non-leadery.
That was my 1st ever online impression of Tenacious D.

WHY???? I bet you're asking. Every body always asks why.
That is quickley followed by did..., you escape from the local tardery???

The atf lubricates your entire fuel injection system from the inside out it acts as a detergent and a lubricant. It aids in the break down of carbon scoring.

You'll smoke, but never mind they'll all be seeing the smoke soon enough.

Seafoam. Same thing. ATF works better and is half price.

You will notice rather quickley an improved throttle responce and a smoothness to your engine that you have probably never had otherwise known existed.

I promise. I stand by it. It is the mad truth.
Try it once and you can Thank me at your discretion.

No autographs. Hold you applause.
Yes...., I'm in rare form tonight.

ATF, yeah it cleans well and lubricates, but Techron does the same just as well (yes, just as well) and doesn't smoke like a mofo. It does cost more, but I'd rather spare my cat of the extra abuse. ;)

Don't even get me started on seafoam!!! UGH!!! GAHHHHHH!!!!!! EVIL!

I would add marvel mystery oil to my tank before I ever add seafoam again.

That product is hyped up and designed by hacks for niche market tuning geeks.

thanks for the help guys. my car seems to be running well now. its been starting everytime. and i fill up at chevron so i have techron. i look into that HEAT you were talking about. thanks.

If it's running alright now you can skip the Heat... I really don't know much about it... never even looked at a bottle. Like I said though, if it's an octane booster, forget it... not what you need right now.

Heat is one of those if'y looking products but I have used throughout my life and It has never failed me in anything I have used it in.

Looking around online (you wouldn't believe how difficult it was to find valid results when googling "heat fuel additive") what I found indicated that HEAT is really not much more than alcohol.

oh really? not much more than alcohol. thats interesting. now my problem is the alarm. does anyone know why the alarm just goes off sometimes. when the car is idling and the turbo timer is counting down, once its at 0 it shuts off normally and then the alarm goes off right away. but only sometimes. im not sure what to do. should i just rip out the alarm?
