some of that may be placebo. when you first got it, you were coming from old beater car. it felt like riding on seks compared to the old one. Now that you're used to it, it doesn't feel as special.
But if you insist, shocks first, then springs if you feel like spending, then bushings if you REALLY want to spend moneys.

So two days ago I went to my mechanic to ask why KCV still has slow starts in the morning. It was hesitating on startup
I tried everything: New battery New brass battery terminal New spark plugs Guy says its probably my fuel injectors I told I had already run redline fuel system cleaner twice. Put it in an empty tank once, filled it up, and repeated the process once the tank was empty again. Still no luck. The guys says use SIX...that's right SIX bottles of fuel INJECTION cleaner. i've done that before on KCV but was wary cuz the redline shit wasnt doing a damn thing I asked him a good brand to use and he said go to dollar tree and get 6 bottles of their shit ass brand. I was liek but tried it anyway. His explanation of why redline and others dont work is because of the wording on the bottle. They all say their product "treats" up to 20 gallons or whatever. They dont say shit about cleaning. One bottle of FIC is good for preventative maintenance. It doesn't do jack shit if you have clogged to hell injectors. Anyway, I go to dollar tree and get six bottles: When I come out and start KCV the sucker is rough idling, shaking and shit before I even put the shit brand FIC in. About halfway home KCV throws a CEL code so I went and got that checked. There were multiple codes but the main two were. Fuel mix too lean(i think) and bad injector ouput...go figure. I go to the gas station and dump all the bottles in and just drive the car to hell and back. I was in teh fucking backwoods of GA I could feel the car getting better. The rough idle had calmed down to a little vibration but the problem never fully went away. I take the car to another mechanic and he just takes the bad injector out and puts it back in Damn car rides liek a dream now. Quiet as shit even with duals anyway, long ass story just to let you guys know to keep an eye on simple shit like that. Last edited by BillyJeanKing; 08-19-2015 at 09:06 PM. |

Change the fuel filter after all that "cleaner" has been through the system.

Told you diluting a single bottle into fuel isn't gonna do shit, and I think I said that most of them are all the same crap.
Lots of cranking before it starts, I would guess fuel pressure is the main problem.

Even if the symptom is improved I would check fuel pressure. You should be able to get a fuel pressure tester loaner tool from vatozone; look up correct pressure, then look for steady pressure with key off and during starting. Can also do half-assed test with some partial results just by turning key to On for a few seconds before turning it to Start; listen for fuel pump to run and change tone before turning to Start, or turn Off and try again until sound changes tone (or up to 3 times before you give up).

A poorly seated injector will cause what you were experiencing. The spider injection systems on s10 4.3s were a pain in the ass to seat injectors in, and it would run like it had a misfire if you did it wrong.

remember...the solution to pollution is dilution, especially when Korkah decides to go use 6 bottles of fuel injector cleaner in car.
random, but i saw dilution mentioned in this thread and had to say that.

just changed the fuel filter on KCV
used a WIX brand filter and I have a K&N filter coming in as a backup watched this video to figure out how to do Video page Full screen can't wait to see if this helps hesitation issue when starting probably will because the old filter was at least 4 years old it was hesitating to start because gas wasn't flowing through the clogged ass filter. also, KCV used to have some bad misfires when climbing a steep hill. Read an article that said that is definitely a sign of a shitty fuel filter. nobody ever thinks about fuel filters. Just oil and air filters pero fuel filter are prolly the most important anyway, I bought the sucker and changed it in the dark and just after it stopped raining very uncomfortable wasn't too hard. when I unhooked the connectors gas poured out like a son of a bitch. got a little on my face and clothes. smells like gas out the ass now got scared when I tried to start the car after I installed it cuz KCV wouldn't turn over then i realized there was no gas in teh line after a few seconds the gas flowed where it needed to be and car was fine that was fun. probably gonna get a whole new set of fuel injectors since there has been dirty shit running through them for years. CEl says the #8 is bad pero fuck that. might as well do all. Saw a couple sets for under $100 Last edited by BillyJeanKing; 08-23-2015 at 03:05 AM. Reason: ` |
