Secondaries

I think my secondaries may be clogged. After about 5500 rpm the car still goes but doesnt seem to pull nearly as hard. Do you think putting some injector cleaner in the car would help any?

Actually I would be more looking at a stuck VDI.

And "pour in the tank" fuel injection cleaners are useless. the only one that is worth half its price is the Chevron techron, but only when run at 3 or 4 times the recommended level. Even then it will only clean the most minor of deposits. If the injectors are really dirty or stuck only professional ultra-sonic and solvent cleaning will work.

To test the VDI, run a tube to the actuator, T in a pressure gauge and blow into the tube to check at what pressure it opens.
(A cheap boost gauge will do.)
Then reconnect the pressure tube & T in a long tube to inside the cabin, with the gage on the end, and do a test drive to see when it opens.
This also works for the Aux ports.
