Hi Phil,

I share your question about the diagnosis.
It's odd that Techron seemed to solve his problem for a while.

Tom you might try getting your gas at a different station. Years ago my dad
had all kids of hassle with his car and it turned out it was crap fuel. Some
scandal with the gas merchant. Where are you? Does your state allow more than 10% ethanol? I'd like those Ethanol mobsters to take a long hike offa short pier.

If it is the cold start injector, then they should be able to get an injector kit and replace bad O-rings. But they jump to buying a pricey new injector.
This sounds a lot like aggressive dealer Bravo Sierra.

My 93 945T has what looks like an extra injector connector below the rail,
but no cold start injector. I see the Regina engines have that cold start along with some special OBD codes, and I found the info to test them electrically.
Are there Regina 900's?
Unless you live in Siberia you could just take it out, plug the fuel ports, and see if that solves the alleged problem.

First try a different gas station.

Cheers, Bill
