    Check the Wipers and the Ashtray.The ashtray should be empty of any wackee tobacheee.:biggrin_2556:This may be the issue..If not the wipers may trigger an issue with the idle time and the circumpass of the injectors and the Blo By emptied filters.This will cause soot to get clogged in the machanics head that put the thing back together..If the soot is present while he worked on it,you may want to send him for a Drug Test..That could be the answer to the dilema.

    If that does not fix the issue then you must check the tire pressure in the machanics head too.If it is over 100 PSI,we have a real problem.If it reads over 100 PSI you have to snatch him by his neck and dangle him off the 20th floor from his feet,like Michael Jackson did to his baby.This will shake out the soot and release the air in the machanics head.

    I hope i was able to help out...:biggrin_25523::biggrin_2556::biggrin_2558:

    The fuel line T-fittings are ABOVE the transmission, not actually hooked into the transmission.

    If it,s sucking both primary and secondary filters dry -why did,nt they check for a restriction between the tanks / pickup and pump before they pulled the injectors out , I hope they,re paying for the labour

    Yip , I hate it when a post leaves you in suspense never to relieve the nagging of an unanswered question.

    Sorry about that. I quit working for the guy, but the mechanic said that the injectors were bad. All I do know is that it didn't have that problem when it was driven to the garage.

    The injectors are down stream from the fuel pump and filters, so he is full of brown stuff.
    Just a thought!
