2003 GMC Sierra clogged fuel injector?

my mechanic says my fuel injectors are clogging, he recommended I run cleaner through a couple of tanks of gas, then he said GMC issued a Technical Service Bulletin stating that this has been a common issue and owners should use fuel injector cleaner (as my mechanic recommended) then start using High Octane on a permanent basis. My mechanic said it was because there is too much ethanol in gas these days and the engines have a hard time running on it. I think this is crazy, running a basic work truck on high octane. Also...........how do I use the cleaner, do I just dump it in and drive around? What kind should I use?

Usually the directions are on the container,Just dump it in and go to wherever. Drive it normally ,the stuff will do the job.

2003 GMC Sierra clogged fuel injector?

i dont know who your tech is...but i went to gm school and NO auto manufacturer recommends puttin ANYTHING in the fuel.there is alot of ethanol i nthe fuel these days,all the better reason not to add any cleaner..as it contains MORE.ive seen only 3 clogged injectors in my 16 yrs as a technician..i suspect its something else.Ive never seen the injector cleaner fix anything.try another shop.

It`s like Danie said, and you may just be experiencing spark tracking to ground at the spark plugs causing missfires.

2003 GMC Sierra clogged fuel injector?

Your mechanic is correct about the Bulletin, in fact the # is 03-06-04-030F. As for it saying to use high octane he misunderstood what it says, it states "customers should be encouraged to use Top Tier Detergent Gasoline" which all fuel from major oil companies is. Not to use Ma's Gas %26amp; Nails.

The cleaning that is to be done is with a tool that connects to the fuel rail, allowing the truck to run only on the cleaning solution. I know we charge $100 or so for an injector and throttle body cleaning.

If you need a copy of this TSB email me and I can get you a copy.

Seeking to rent a comfortable home in Santa Monica with two professional roommates?

I am a medical student, and I am not wealthy. But I believe that if a person is strong and resourceful, they can attain anything. I'm just looking for good leads. My parents own a house in Santa Monica where I grew up. I love it here. I see myself in a house where I can water the lawn, grow some flowers, study in peace, and cook in my own kitchen. I need two roommates who share my vision, and who are financially stable, to realize this dream. I don't think posting on bulletin boards will ever provide results. Any suggestions?

Seeking to rent a comfortable home in Santa Monica with two professional roommates?

There are VERY few affordable houses (if any) for rent in santa monica, but then again you already know that if you grew up here. You'd have better luck finding a small one bedroom house with a small yard, on occasion you can find one for under $1500 a little further inland. Good luck.

Go onto Craig's list and have potential roommates put together a hypothetical play list the two that are closest to your liking get them in for an interview. At the very least you'll find "somewhat" like minded people

Hey it's worth a shot right?

Replacing the Prius Auxiliary Battery with a Mazda Miata Battery .?

I have a 2002 Prius. The 12 volt Battery is dead. The dealer indicated that a replacement battery is $135.00 plus a $50.00 for a bracket kit. The parts person indicate that Toyota has a bulletin about the original OEM battery discharging on owners with short trip driving habits. The new battery is bigger and offer more storage capacity. As expected, non of the auto parts stores offer a replacement battery. I looked up replacements on the web and came across this site: http://www.elearnaid.com/12vobaforpr2.ht... which claims 200 successful replacements with a Mazda Miata Battery and home made upgrade kit.

Can anyone shed some light on this claim? Have you used such substitute? Are there any concerns or negative impacts on the vehicle electrical system? Are there any other feasible alternative?

Thanks,

KM

Replacing the Prius Auxiliary Battery with a Mazda Miata Battery .?

The Prius' 12v accessory battery is located in the trunk, and therefore special consideration should be given for outgassing/ventilation. Physical sizing is also an issue (hence why you need the new fitting kit), as is the oddly shaped/positioned Japanese battery posts. (OE battery is an AGM type and about the size of a motorcycle battery.)

The bulletin you mention is US TSB EL014-03. If you are a member of the toyota-prius-sat1 yahoogroup (free membership), you can view it at:

Toyota Technical Service Bulletin EL014-03, dated Oct. 2, 2003, titled "Battery Capacity Improvement" for 2001-2003 Prius. Lists part numbers and installation instructions for a newer, larger capacity 12v accessory battery.

More info on the Classic NHW11 Prius' battery (US model years 2001-2003), as well as alternative replacement information, is at:

http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/toyo...

(Personally, I've already done the Toyota upgrade route last year, after I let my 2001 Prius sit undriven for 2 months which killed the then 6 year old 12v accessory battery... (Your dealer's pricing is cheaper than mine was!) Unfortunately for me, having someone starting the car for 30min every 1-2 weeks wasn't enough to keep the new battery happy, and I'm again looking for a replacement 12v already a year later, as I'm back to the portable jumpstart to get it going again... %26lt;sigh%26gt; the price I pay for moving somewhere where I don't need a car... I may go the elearnaid route, and get a smart battery minder and plug into the garage outlet, but haven't decided yet.)

Good luck!

Replacing the Prius Auxiliary Battery with a Mazda Miata Battery .?

A 12 v. battery is a 12 v. battery. You cannot damage the electrical system by putting one in that has more CCA's. I have always put bigger batteries in every car I have owned. The more you have to work with the better off you are. The only obstacle is the dimensions of the battery compartment.

Replacing the Prius Auxiliary Battery with a Mazda Miata Battery .?

"This sealed battery is designed to go in a trunk and utilizes absorbed glass mat technology. This advanced battery has no free liquid because it is absorbed into the glass mat. Consequently, there is no acid that can spill into the trunk. It also has attachments for a vent hose so any gases are vented outside of the car. The battery does not normally emit gases but can do so with heavy over charging with pressure building up and the valves in the batteries releasing." Normally a battery doesn't go in the trunk and I wouldn't recommend it. Putting one in the trunk usually means putting it near the gas tank and even though it sounds like a good idea to say freshen the air in the trunk it isn't because the battery might explode. It also makes the battery no-good before it explodes.

How do you post a caution alert?

I want to post an online company's scam and fraud practices, and hopefully help some consumers avoid the headache.

Is there a bulletin or some forum, I was able to blog it on myspace...Thankz

How do you post a caution alert?

I suggest you to notify the local police so they can close the web site for sure after a investigation is done. You can also look for some related community at Orkut, post a warning here and also notify the local press so they make a report and look for some responsible to close the company.

Does this mean...?

that Ron "The Truth" Killings is coming back to WWE....

Ron "The Truth" Killings posted the following bulletin on MySpace this afternoon:

Ron "The Truth" Killings and TNA Wrestling have come to a mutual agreement on his release. Killings wishes TNA Wrestling the best. Killings is looking forward to continue his wrestling career and looking to go back to his original stomping grounds."

Does this mean...?

More than likely but don't expect him to be the "truth". WWE will repackage him like they did to Marcus Cor Von

Does this mean...?

Perhaps

"wheezed the juice"?

what does this mean? i read it in a bulletin on myspace and i've been wracking my brain trying to figure out possible meanings. got any ideas guys?

"wheezed the juice"?

It is from the movie "Encino Man". When Paulie Shore is introducing the recently thawed caveman (Brenden Fraser) to the 20th century. They're at a convience store and Paulie Shore shows him how to "wheez the juice" where he puts his mouth under the Slurpee machine and fills his mouth up. The Indian clerk then shouts, "Hey! No wheezing the juice!"

"wheezed the juice"?

Hahaha... it's an old Pauly Shore reference. In the movie "Encino Man", he "wheezes the juice"- drinks straight from the soda fountain at the convenience store. No cup, just mouth right below the nozzle of the soda fountain- or maybe it was a slurpee fountain... either way, you get the idea! ;)

"wheezed the juice"?

weezin the ju-uice!

Yeah, Koosher is right! I think it was a slushee fountain.

"wheezed the juice"?

Can't help. I s something related to breathing. But it does not make sense.
