Default Hmmm, definitely didn't see them in VA when I was there. Probably not in the area I was in.

Shell does a pretty good job I hear with their additives and detergents they put in, like Techron. Did you know that Shell sells their own bottles of FI cleaners like Techron?

Didn't know that. They sell it at their gas stations?

Default I've never seen it at stations...yet. The only place I've seen it is Advance Auto Parts.

Default Re: strange engine hesitation

Hey wussup guys...i really appreciate all the feedback...well this is the thing...the only mod i've had done is the apr chip upgrade...but even before i had the chip put in...it would act up like this...i have no codes or anything....i did notice when i got the car and changed the spark plugs that there was oil around the spark plug tips???normal???i took the car to a local place where i live and i thought maybe they just were messy when doing the oil change...they told me i have a minor oil leak...and its my valve cover gasket....do you think that might have anything to do with this...also i did the chevron techron thing like twice since i've had the car...and i also did the seafoam treatment...only the crack case and gas tank....thank you again guys for your feedback...
