Just wondering what does the Trans fluid does in your tank??

is it safe??

"Other things that will help are cleaning the injectors (one of the best things is to put a bout 250mls of Auto-Trans fluid in the tank next time you fill it up), between doing this and replacing the fuel filter it will make a big diference. "

Jimbo, 1000rpm idle is too high unless your engine stalls at a lower rpm (a/m cams for example maybe). Try setting it to around 700 or so and see if it gives you any issues. The lower the idle speed you can get, the better.

Teka, I have nfi what transmission fluid will do in your fuel, but whatever the alleged benefits, don't you think you would be better off buying some proper injector cleaner?

auto trans fluid in tank???

never heard of this...

The ATF trick comes from a qualified mechanic, he says its as good as injection cleaner and works even better if they are real dirty. Ive done it on my car with no problems. If you want just use injection cleaner, ive done both.

All ATF does other then cleaning all the shit is lubricate everything

I dont know why you would be getting a flatspot, maybe ignition? have you checked the timing?

i fixed my bad consumption issue!!!

Fix: mad big thrash fest on friday night on the galston cruise!!! fuel economy back to normal 450km a tank

[JimX]

How'd you fix it?

[Craved]

it seems to have fixed itself after the cruise, the engine got a good workout!!! only got about 300km from that tank but filled up on the way home and it lasted 448km... see what happens next fill, then go onto oil change that is due soon, then the gaps after that!!!!

bit of a spin out

will keep posted
