    Question 2 stroke oil in diesel fuel?

    I am hearing you can use 2 stroke oil in diesel fuel to get better lubrication? Does anyone know the mix ratio to a full tank, and which or does it matter what brand is better? Thank you

    Hard starting after injector change

    Yeah, you have to run it at or above 2000 rpm for about 30 min as soon as you get it in. Also remember you installed only 1 injector, that means that cylinder is in prime working condition and the other 7 are probably gummed up and not as efficient as the newer one. Did you remove the drain...

    Question IPR valve connection

    Okay everybody, I had a problem with my IPR harness connection and ended up having it fixed. The idiot that fixed it put two black wires on it instead of the red and yellow that were on it before. I think I have them backwards now. If someone could tell me what side the red wire goes to I would...

    Yeah I'm gonna need one also, so if you find out where to get them let me know. I believe it was a little longer than a regular sized one but not positive(it's been 11 years!)

    Question Ca smog!

I don't even think they have them for diesel products:dunno The CA BAR site says that the visual smoke test looks at the engine compartment for smoke, the crank case breather, and...
