THANKS GUYS! ........ Seriously, does this stuff work well?

I purchased a bottle of Valvoline Complete Fuel System Treatment a month ago, I was told only Chevron and Shell products work. Anyone know if this Valvoline stuff is any good? Thanks all. Link to the product: http://www.valvoline.com/pages/products/product_detail.asp?product=54

Sorry, been stressing out about school.. i printed out what you said and i'm gonna check on it soon, so far the problem hasnt come up yet.. seems to come up if i had the car running too long..

I don't see a difference in performance with the CEL on/off. I use either Sunoco 89oct or Shell 89oct. Car has 130k miles... funny thing is I did all the tune up, dis rotor/cap, spark plugs, fuel filter, air filter.. and with all that done.. my last fill up for 7.5 gallons only netted me 73...

It is a WEIRD WEIRD situation, this is what happens... CEL comes on, I go to autozone to get it checked. Lights for knock sensor and 4th gear ratio error comes on.. I tell autozone to not clear the code.. code goes away after a few days... and no CEL would come up... then MONTHS AND MONTHS...

Knock sensor been bad for like 9-10 months already i believe.. (still not fixed) and motor mount was bad for months.. like 4+? fixed yeah i regret not taking care of the problems sooner.. could a knock sensor cause this? btw when i had CEL, it was brought up knock sensor, and 4th gear ratio...

Hey, thanks for not giving up on me, I'll try to answer the best I can. 1. Still no codes 2. Not sure how big the tear was because I taped over the duct tape, but I made sure to wrap it real tight and secure. 3. The problem occurs less often now that i've taped up the hose and even when the...

Wouldn't a torque converter throw off a CEL? Oh yeah, just to mention, I have a bad knock sensor, but I don't think that should cause this problem..

Ah, so the problem persists, when it happens, it is not as rough as usual. People tell me to take it to the shop and get it diagnose but I feel this car is a soldier and I don't have the extra money to spend at the shop.. Maybe I should try new spark plugs, I don't know anymore at this point.

Your posts are really imformative, I appreciate you taking your time to help me out. So far so good! I will drive this car all week to see if it comes up again. I will keep this updated if anything occurs.. Also I do plan on regrounding the MAF today, as that helps with smoothness and I doubt...

alright, well i made sure to tape up the intake tube tightly and alot! The reason why I try one thing at a time is to try to figure out what the problem is, now I just need to drive a lot and see if the sympton shows up again because again, it is completely random, and I do not know how to...

thanks for really taking the time and trying to help me out i'll give it a whirl on Sunday! thanks!

and g20ooh.. No lights, no codes, this seems to happen more frequently since i've gotten my car back from the shop fixing the motor mount, the thing is I did not remember whether i have ducktaped the intake hose or not.. and if i didn't then that means maybe the shop did it.. so I will double...

Wow, so many replies Quest: I have replaced the PCV Valve a year ago, the TPS sensor was cleaned with Gank's Carb Cleaner and I have cleaned the MAF sensor with the one you've listed a while back... I will try the grounding points. thanks rat: i'll ask my friend about this, i'm not too sure on...

Hello all, I hope you guys can enlighten me on this problem. I'll try to be as specific as I can.. I have a 1994 AUTOMATIC Infiniti G20. This sympton occurs RANDOMLY, no specific condition can make it appear, it is RANDOM. The car hesistates to accelerate during 1.5k-2k RPM, not the...

lol rich i was kidding relax

ok rich no need to correct me 2 times in my own thread > lol jk thanks for the insightful responses.. assuming you know what you're talking about

i guess we will all have to see... it'll take a few months to get 1500 miles lol... since i dont drive alot... cause of 12mpg.. so when i go out with friends they drive

you know dr. T, im not sure of this, the point of doing the test was to see what Auto-RX does to the compression #'s. in the other thread someones compression #'s were too low but it was brought back up after auto-rx treatments.. which should mean auto-rx has an effect on the engine.. i can also...

yeah of course dummy, i'm not a dummy (no pun intended) the vadility of the test isnt too reliable if it isn't under the same condition
