Last week I gelled up, Put PS 911 in the tank and replaced the the filter filling with 50/50 diesel/ 911. Got it started, now for the questions (1) I have to crank on it for a while before it starts up (2) when it gets warmed up and is idling it kind of lopes a little bit. Any one have any Ideas.

Could it have been a bad tank of fuel also? Maybe that is why it's running like crap?

Not sure what to tell ya Nate without having efi live to do some scanning. Sounds fuel related. Injector maybe from the gelling??

Go run the Sh!t out of it, sometimes that fixes my probs:D

I had a half of tank of this crap fuel, I wen and topped it off hoping that would help, I double treated it with stanadyne performance Formula, still runs like crap. I hate winter, this sucks.


I am not getting any DTC codes, wish I had EFI, but I am waiting on the switchable tuning and the money before I buy it.

you still earned a de-merit though ;)


From what? Toe-nails? The referee would not stand for toes like that!! I think Chris was in the Green stuff lastnight and was seeing things..



Nate, I don't know the symptom's of bad fuel.. We don't get that crap down south.
