Yer take wot ya think is a good recommendation of a ripper product and have it bite you , your L actually , on the ass .
Rocks up to the local Sube/Mitsy spares dept and walks out with 4 cans of this Grrr Brrr wana set that joint on fire gunge .
Thinks self we're gonna try this mirracle product here and now since we are out in the open .
Whips vacuum line off and sprays 1/2 can in and waits the specified 5 minutes . Fires the 82 up and sprays the second 1/2 in whilst keeping the revs up a bit . Then again as per directions shuts down and waits a further 10 minutes . Fires up again and won't idle so off I goes on what sounds like 3 alternating cylinders thinking it'll ckear itself up in a few kays , the L gods smile in glee . I turns uphill into a busy street heading towards a busy intersection and its getting difficult to keep the the unruly beast running . Lights go green and I'm about 10 back and somehow get this rapidly asphixiating chaff cutter moving when it cuts out . Then the burk in the V8 ute punts us from behind - well my towbar/ball anyway . Cracket his plastic and rust off my towball - tough .
Back to repeated cranking but the she dog is refusing to fire . Looks back to see cops and walks back to see if they can help guide the rapidly building peak traffic around me . They calls towie as well and lighting up the disco lights . Waiting waiting waiting hour and half goes past with two disinterested tilt trays . Then on come the disco music and off rhe cops go on more interesting duties . More waiting waiting and I thinks bugger this should pull the plugs out and see if they are fouled while there's enough daylight . No2 is covered in carbon so I clean it as best I can and remove 3 and 4 which are a bastard on my engine - they're not too bad as is 1 . I manage to fire it up but it won't idle and the tilt tray has finally arrived . So for the second time in 5 yrs we are on a truck , last time was a broken cam belt , and back home to the cave . $70 thank you very much , bout same as four cans of car killer .
Turns out I have 3 new plugs on hand though they are one heat range cooler NGK7s . They go into the four most difficult holes and I manage to get it firing but it stll won't idle . Manages to chock open TB and it runs long enough to check exhaust for smoke or non std smells which it doesn't have . Then it dies and refuses to start again . Skyline out and lame duck in so I can hook the trusty Ctek up to the battery .
Locks it away in disgust and goes to have a whinge to Coxy on batphone .
Seems that everyone has a set of new plugs handy and revs their engine at 2500-3500 as gunge goes through and then goes for a drive on open roads with the revs kept up .
This is not mentioned on the back of the can .
Message is people beware of this Subaru Upper Engine Cleaner because it seems it can foul you engine up and leave you stranded .
Plan B is to buy a set of new NGK 6 heat range plugs and with the battery fully charged , meaning full voltage to the ignition system , get it going and rev piss and pick handles out of it and then go fang the ass off it to burn this crud out .
If anyone has had unfortunate experiences with this stuff pray tell what you did to resurrect your car . I'm also looking for anyone who wants to buy three cans of not too cheap grief .
