Alldata sucks
Ok while I was replacing my rock hard injector o-rings and installing a couple new vacuum lines I noticed the vent hoses on the oil injectors had oil in them I was wondering if this is normal or if I have a problem. Alldata has almost no info on the oil injection system.
I just want to say wow what a difference in idle quality with no more vauum leaks!

Alldata definitely does lack in some areas of information and not only with the rx. However it's not entirely their fault, some manufacturers just refuse to release information on their cars, take for instance bmw and mercedes, from about 2000 up have almost no information whereas toyota and honda 2000 up has loads of information. It's all about the manufacturers wanting the general public knowing how their cars work in specific or rather the lack thereof in this case.
But all in all Alldata has saved my butt loads of times at the work place, it's a great tool if used in conjuction with your own knowledge.

LUBRICATION section of the online FSM.
Also, the FSM has problems. An example is the online wiring diagrams for the series five and especially the page that shows the Combination Meter and the output of the number two milage sensor for turbo cars.
Then there's the page in the series five FSM that shown vacuum going to the Relief solenoid, which is patently wrong.
And no, you should NOT see oil in the air nipple on top of the oil injector. It's broken.
