Well they didn't mine, they just gave me a new one. All those guys are dead anyway it was so long ago.

I moved on to SnapOn.

It should get temporarily better.

Usually helps without doing much fuel pump damage [pump has it's own blow off high pressure valve]. After all the pressure rises to 43.4 psi under acceleration.
Is the fuel system (rubber fuel lines and injectors) designed for that amount of pressure?

Why would the problem temporally go away? I would think that if they were clogged and this unclogs the injectors=problem solved.

I will try this since my fuel pump is already on its way out and yes I have another well a couple other FPCU's.
