Default Petunia's back to normal!

Hi guys,

My 'skate (named "Petunia" by a girlfriend of mine) is back to normal, thanks to the fuel injector cleaning done by RC Engineering in Torrance, CA. The pre-cleaning tests on the injectors showed 135cc/min, 130cc/min, and 117cc/min & *dripping*, on the three injectors. Post-test, they were all at 140cc/min.

On my drive into work today, fuel economy was back to "normal" (for my driving and my commute), and most importantly, all the bucking, jerking, and hesitation issues have been remedied!

Thanks for all the help! Pulling the injectors and re-installing them was a snap. I highly recommend it for cars that have over 100k if you're seeing a decline in gas mileage.

Best,
fly
