Re: Engine Hesitation 900 1993

I would start with a couple treatments of "Chevron Techron", usually availble at KMart, WalMart etc. Folow the directions on the bottle. It worked wonders on my wife's BMW in cleaning injectors and deposits on intake valves to get rid of some rough running spots. I'm guessing you have some minor injector "gunk". Another trick refered to around here is an "Abe Crombie" tune up. Put the transmission in a gear low enough so you can hold the engine above 4000 RPM for 5 minutes or so. (Somewhat similar to an "Italion Tune Up".)

I use Mobil gas, Mobil 1 synthetic oil and have a chance to do a wide open throttle run up to about 80 every morning when I get onto the interstate. This seems to be keeping my engine nice and clean.

I'm curious, why did the belt break? Had it gone past the recommended change interval? On that car I think it is every 30K.
