with the last few weeks being in the 70's and tickling the 80's I decided to run some WMO...and I ran it THICK!...50%..
I had noticed before that my high idle kickes off just as I get on the road and will surge...but I wondered if my fuel filter was startin to plug up..but it didnt do it any other time other than first thing in the mornin...
wed mornin...****** plugged up....so I get back to the house (1/2 mile away..gotta love a vehicle that breaks down within walkin distance of home)...and go get 2 filters (so I dont have to get another one next time..)...and a quart of ATF to fill the filter...
rest of the week its just finnicky startin...so I let the plugs cycle twice and usually fires...
get home from havin 4 fillings and 2hrs in the dentist chair (did I mention that nitrous is a wonderfull drug?)...and after a few hours I can feel my face and hands..so its time for me and kiddo to go get the fixins for mothers day breakfast.....
and the van wont start...nothin...and its cold...50*...and I didnt plug her in (normaly dont need to untill its 30* and thats just so I dont wait for heat and double cyclin the plugs...)...
so I roll it down the driveway...get the wrangler out and get the extension cord rolled out and van plugged in...
off to the store!..
got our goodies...5gal of fresh diesel and a can of ether....
with help of the wife I got her to fire by spraying the cone filter and once she was runnin dumped 5gal of fresh in to circulate..
today the pyro said the block was a toasty 90* (did ya know the digital ones will tell ya engine block temp?)....and she fired right up...
its supposed to be close to freezing tonight...and again tommorow....its FREAKIN MAY!!!...I wanna get the pool filled soon.....gimme some warmer days baby!
