Peter Olliviere replied to Jon's discussion Fuel lean/rich"If it has not been done in the past I would have my injectors rebuilt. I had this done on my last Cab and it not only cured the slight popping but the engine ran stronger overall. Rebuilding and flowing ran $100 us.

Jon replied to Jon's discussion Fuel lean/rich"I know what the MAF is or at least know what it means but runnite has me stumped. Good idea, someone else mentioned MAF as being a bit fickle. Appreciate for your thoughts."

damian deblis replied to Jon's discussion Fuel lean/rich"I'd say posting on .net that there are other 968 websites that are far more robust is disrespectful to Ray. As far as 'revolting' and 'idiotic' I've always found that when people make personal attacks it means they…"
94SilverCab replied to Jon's discussion Fuel lean/rich"How revolting! You haven't even been a member for one hour and you're already pooping all over Ray's new site.
How long before we have to be subjected to your idiotic "CUP 1" Thread???"

- Tauranga is not USA, it is New Zealand so please ignore the State AK comment. There didn't seem to be an option of saying no to a USA state here.
