do the lights dim? I don't really think MMO creates carbon buildup, its supposed to clean that stuff up. Make sure your battery terminals are clean and you have good grounds.

someone recommended: dump a whole bunch of ATF or MMO into the spark plug wholes. put the car in 5th gear and push it backwards.... i mah try that tmorrow

yea but could MMO combine with Octane Booster create carbon build up?

Piranha

I would use ATF, I dunno how well MMO works. I run premix, and I use TWC-3 (I think thats what it is) rated 2 cycle oil. I don't trust MMO for a premix role... Since it isn't rated to do that job (I don't see people putting it in their lawnmowers and snowmobiles) I'd go with real premix.

Piranha

I'm no chemist, but I don't see how combining a cleaner and octane booster would do that. Hopefully your seals are ok. Do you have a voltimeter? My starter is starting to go, and I have to click the key a few times. Usually it sits there buzzing when I go to start, and if I hit it again it will turn over.

btw- I meant to post this yesterday but did you use 3.5quarts of oil with 1 quart of MMO. MMO has a pretty low viscosity, I used about a half quart or 1/4th.

uhmm... hmm... well, if your STARTER is stuck, then ATF is gonna do jack ****...

if your ENGINE is stuck, then ur fuct... but ATF might help...

and well.... maybe someone else should work on your car, eh? rather than dumping 3 random fluids in....

I don't understand it sometimes.... "gee, that didn't work, so lets put MORE **** in at random until we fix the problem...."

It's called DIAGNOSIS... look it up sometime...

uhmm I didnt put in random fluids for trying to fix something. I thought my OMP was out, so I use premix to lubricate the Apex, i wasnt trying to fix anything there. Also I forgot that I had put Octane booster the day before, which doesnt fix anything either. The starter was lock up. I put a (+) jumper from battery directly to starter terminal, then put ATF, then push start, and she work fine now.
