Tipping fuel down the carb is probably not the best method becouse it is easy to put in to much fuel and flood the engine. Try to use some aero start/ wd40 / rp7 3-4 second squirt , should fire every time. If not then you have bigger issues than just evaporated fuel from the carb.

Many times I have drained the oil only to discover that I have not bought a new washer. Reused the old one and never had a problem

Dyno fee and parts $80 plus 2.5 hours labour to do all repairs $190 total of $280 .
so very happy with result

The love affair with upper engine cleaner is back on. picked up the car from the mechanics, running like a dream again. The problem turned out to be that the cam angle senser bolt had started to come loose some time ago, when the bolt finally came out and the sensor moved the car would not start. Bu...

Have used a 12v led test light to test for signal to the fuel injectors and all injectors have signal. have tested all coils and plugs and coils by removing one by one and grounding them on the head while the wife turns the key and all the plugs are firing. I have even squirted some fuel down a vacu...

The upper engine cleaner and the car not starting could be unrelated as I had been having problems with the plugs fouling on the two rear cylinders after the wife drives the car to work for a couple of days ( aprox 1km each way, finishes after 11pm and feels more secure driving than walking at that ...

All colis are plugged in. nothing had been touched between the car coming home after work running like a dream and the next morning when it would not start.

Ok here is where I am at the moment . Ran the upper engine cleaner and the car ran the best it had for about 7 to 8 years then after three days the wife went to go to work but the engine would crank over but would not fire. Fuel pump is working ,injectors are firing, spark plugs are firing but the c...

On the can it says if the engine is extremely dirty it may require a second treatment . guess where I am going tommorow . If i get only 25% the improvement that I got with the first can I will be stoked

Been having problems with my 92 RSturbo running badly. So with nothing to lose I ran a can of upper engine cleaner through for the first time in about 100,000 kms and 7 or 8 years. Anyone that doubts that it does anything at all as part of regular maintenance. I am here to tell you that the differen...

Can someone that has done this conversion post some photos so I have some idea of where to mount the coils and anything else that could be a trap for young players . thanks heaps

They look nothing like the ones I have on my car . My car was Australian delivered so it has the ones that go straight on to the plug with no plug lead .

Been tracing an intermitent problem where the engine drops a cylinder after fouling a spark plug . Think it might be bad coils so I rang the local Subaru stealership and was quoted $268 per coil . Ok time to get off the floor . Now I want to know if any one knows where I can get a set of after marke...
