I bought some oil and fuel injector cleaner, which prolly does more harm than good. I totally forgot to get carb cleaner (which would have been the better investment) to test for leaks and refurb the IAM.

I will be purchasing carb cleaner, and refurbing that motor. I may also reclick my throttle position sensor. I may break down and "invest" in new spark plug wires, the one with the little sensor on the first plug.

Also, I'm running 92 octane fuel... My knowledge is that higher octane fuel dosn't burn differently than any other fuel, it just dosn't knock as much, and thus the engine can operate to higher specifications. If I'm dead wrong and need to be sporting 87, as usually, correct me viciously.
