Pure gas in my metal van engine
Having LOTS of trouble starting my 1995 Chevrolet
van with the metal 350 engine. Switched from 87 octane 10% ethanol to 91 octane pure gas. Now, it starts like it's supposed to. .. Christopher A. Young Learn about Jesus www.lds.org .. |

Pure gas in my metal van engine
Then I'd say you have a problem with the engine that will probably only get
worse. I have a 1993 Chevy pickup with an ancient 350 that starts great on the 87 octane gas w/ethanol. I also have over 20 other engines around here that work well on the same stuff. Even the old push type rotary mower started on the first pull after sitting for 2 years! "Stormin Mormon" wrote in message ...

And it runs very poorly. -- .. Christopher A. Young Learn about Jesus www.lds.org .. |

And it runs very poorly. Tuesday Oct 22. Engine still runs poorly. Call my mechanic who says "sounds like vacuum leak". After some looking around, find the EGR valve is defective. After some repairs, the van runs properly at idle, again. Thank you, Pete S. .. Christopher A. Young Learn about Jesus www.lds.org .. |
