Throttle pedal lag

[WonderBlue]

Along these same lines, and maybe it doesn’t belong in this thread, but I just tried a fuel injector cleaner on my stock 25ITS and about halfway through the tank now noticing throttle lag. It could be my imagination, because I never really paid real close attention until after I put the fuel additive in, and started monitoring it for any performance difference. Any thoughts on “do’s or don’ts” with fuel system additives with this engine?

If you’re using top tier certified fuel. An injector cleaner in the tank shouldn’t be done any more frequently than maybe every 10k miles

if you’re using shit gas tho. Maybe do one after each oil change.

as far as the throttle lag goes. I dunno.

Like he said above... Almost all gasoline already contains detergents. Adding other stuff to it does nothing at best and dilutes your fuel a bit at worst.

On the note of gasoline, you should avoid ethanol free fuels at all costs. Cars today are designed to run with it and ethanol free fuels can definitely make the car feel more lethargic ime.
