OK so after the first tank of gas, fuel gauge took 250 miles to get to E. before treatment it was 100 miles (usually 280 for the light to come on). It seems ive picked up 2mpg (keeping in mind my car had 184K on it and probably never got an injector cleaning) and the idle has smothed out. :banana: nipper

It keeps tires cooler. Unless your pullin a load, or if they are giving it away for free, anything will do. http://www.tommcmahon.net/2004/11/fill_your_tires.html nipper -
Fan not operating

are we talking about the climate control fan? Check the fuse, check the relay, check the switch. my guess is the fuse or the relay nipper -
GM is also facing a lot of lawsuits on piston slap, so i really wouldnt trust GM on this explination. Carbon buildup after 15,000 miles is prettymuch BS. GM's pisotn slap is rather loud and doesnt always go away. Subarus has been explained and most the time can be lived with (everyone with over 150K on thier enigens and with slap raise your hand). Subaru if you stand your ground will fix it, where as GM seems to be telling its customers to take a hike. the only thing i can think of is that the thread here is that he truly has ping, not slap, then the water method woprks well to get rid of carbon nipper

yes the temp sessor can make weird things happe. If tou are positive the transmission is over filed, what color is the fluid. there are two ways for it to be over filled. the first is, well, somone over filled it. The second is that the coller inside the radiator is leaking. Usually the fluid gets pumped into the radiator since the tranny pressure is higher then the radiator pressure. My bet is that it was overfilled, and all the fluid you see under the car is the excess fluid being puished out. Have the tranny oil changed and the temp sensor replaced and we will see what happens. Soobys dont usually leak fluuid by the seals. It is also possible you have a pan leak. nipper
