Way to go, dude! But wait, you didn't tell us how much fun it was to change the FPR!

PS - Stick a new EGR Valve on and I bet it will run ever betta! Like butta!

EDIT: How was your old FPR? Mine had several small holes in it when I changed it out.

I didn't think it was all that bad... I downloaded the PDF file from this site... cutting the allen wrench with my dremel was a breeze... for the replacement bolt I just switched with a bolt from on top of the intake that was holding down a bracket... same size length and thread and used that to replace the rear allen head bolt. The circlip was easy getting off a lil more difficult getting back on the new FPR as it seemed to sit a lil higher than the old one... prolly the newness of the new o-ring. Whole thing took 20-25mins.

Overall, changing MAF, fuel filter, and FPR took hour and a half, tops.


Old FPR?: it just looked ooold n worn out, no visible damage or deformity

But the acetone run in this motor has NOTHING to do with this or the quart a week plus oil usage does it....?:wtfg::wtfg::wtfg::wtfg:

I would venture to say no, cause mine has only ever burnt the same amount of oil, acetone or not. And I haven't had this problem... yet... **crosses fingers**knocks on wood**puts rabbits foot on rearview mirror**

I'm not superstitious or anything ......

Tone,

The motor was replaced first week of august (I told you that on sunday)... its burned oil like that from the begining (I told you that also on sunday)(something I told you in confidence, hmmm... you likewise told me "stuff" in confidence)
I used acetone in four tanks in oct (I also told you on sunday and you said nothing about it then)
This problem "NEW" I described in starting this thread (except the carbon on tailpipe, that has been happening since the gitgo also) happened the preceding 2-3 days before I posted...
I'm not tryin to start a fight, I just wanted to get a solution to this "NEW" problem, and I did. Thanks for EVERYONES input. Even yours Tone

REPLACING THE FPR SOLVED this problem so I don't think acetone had anything to do with the "idle surging" And acetone would have nothing to do with the MAF
