Did you know? Just because it says 100% synthetic, dont mean that it is, Highly refined petroleum products are allowed to be classified synthetic. It never ends. ed

Have you ever seen them grooves in a crank where the seals have been riding? Well things dont get bigger as they wear, the seals were kept soft and to a small degree swollen against the crank by the additives in dino oil. Synthetics either didnt have any or enough of this additive to keep the seals swollen. Therefore after so many miles they started to leak. Theory and real life are not related. This forum could not hold the complaints of leaking oil. If you own a Nissan look in your owners manual before changing to synthetic, i have been told that some models they recommend not to use synthetics. [ Have not read this myself]. ed

You my friend will have to put up or shut up, No syn has had these additives until now, why is valvoline making great claims if it is not true. ed

If your car has very many miles on it syn oil is really not a good idea, these oils have nothing to help keep your seals pliable, they WILL leak. I have heard Valvoline has a new syn out that has an additive that will work like the conventional oils. ed

Heres whats happening, at idle no 1 is dead, slowly increase rpms, at about 1700rpms engine smooths out jumps to about 2100 rpms , unhook no.1 injector and engine will not smooth out at any safe rpm. If you unplug iac, idle go's up to 1000rpms, wont stall but idles fast, pluged in idle is normal. HELP. Thanks. ed

Working on this now, using a digital ohm meter, on the injector it read 1724 not sure if the period made it 1.7 or not, will try here shortly some other readings from other cyclinders. Thanks. ed

I went across the leads with an ohm meter, engine off, switch off, no reading what so ever. ed

Seems the injector is ok, I cant get any readings at all coming from the injector plug [connector]. Any ideas what to check next? ed

Pull your fuse cover off, should be listed there. ed

Think i could just use a 60 watt light bulb? Just kidding, Not really expensive for what it will tell, Thanks for the link. ed

You jumped over my head a little with the noid light, is this something to go buy, something i can make? If so what type of bulb? Will an ohm meter work? Thanks. ed

I dont know if this will help in finding the problem, when it would miss at startup, if i just drove off, it would clear up almost at the time of accleration, almost instantly. ed

Very interesting, but not looking forward to that!!!!!! Thanks. ed

AVK, Thanks. ed

Any idea what kind of readings i should be looking for? Thanks. ed
