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.

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.

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.
