Showing a single fuel-up

Aug 21 2009

Changed plugs, diff oil, tranny oil, shifter turret oil, flushed the coolant, and used fuel system cleaner (both in-tank and direct to fuel rail via compressed air) halfway through this tank. Noticed that after idling with the fuel system cleaner in the rail for about twenty minutes, the fan did not turn on and the car slowly started to overheat (shut it off quickly though). Will need to address this, though even in 110F stop-and-go commuting it has not yet shown any signs of overheating in practice. Car will still make a very slight backfire when shifting while driving it hard at high RPMs, not sure why yet.
