Wow! This one did all of that perfectly...I was really worried about throttle angle, being a 4spd. The owner just wanted it to cold start and idle well. 30 degree mornings were no problem, and he drives it all the time now. Like I said though, mild to wimpy motor. Fun, but no rocket. If one came up real cheap, I'd try it.It worked, but the driveability was for shit...
Cold starts were awful, and tip in was wrong at any speed. And yeah, the idle sucked too.
I told everyone...
Putting a computer on top of a hot engine really isn't the best idea! Their money, their problem.
I had real good luck with FAST.
No problems at all...not a cough, stumble or attitude of any type. Parked and idled for another half hour, occasionally rapping it up, not a hiccup. Manifold surface temp at 190ish, coolant temp at 180. Well hell...I'll get back to it this week, time permitting.
I run into that all the time now. I think pulling Holley float bowls it gets dumped in the rags. Edelbrock and early carbs with tops, you can find some of that sediment in the bottoms. It looks like a darker version of Glamis sand. I'm thinking it somehow combines, and makes it through the filters as a much finer solid in suspension?
“A Prius with a bed. We can build it. We have the technology,”It's a 1500 Silverado long bed. The color is a custom "Krylon Blue" with "Appliance White" wheels and roof
If the Prius had an 8ft bed, it would have been in service today! It's a pile, but a pile with AC
The ethanol in the fuel collects water out of the air into the fuel which reacts with the aluminum in the tank and/or carburetor creating aluminum oxide (the sand) and is sometimes darkened by the residues that create varnish. (or even rust in steel tanks)
This. Seafoam is also a great additive that helps remove water. Seafoam also has alcohol in it but it's isopropyl rather than methanol which has much larger molecules and wont permeate the aluminum causing the oxidation, It will however bond with the methanol and help to keep it from doing as much damage.
