Torco and long starts?

MarioKart · 09-02-2008, 12:12 PM

My car just had a new HPFP installed a couple months ago because I was having the "long crank" syndrome Everything has been perfect and even when I use 100octane race gas, no problems. I do have a problem every once in a while when I use Torco, the next morning after the car has sat it sometimes takes longer to start. Could this be a coincidence or is the Torco leaving some kind of residue?

Torco has been known to foul plugs and O2 sensors. Leaves an orangish residue on stuff IIRC.

I noticed my tail pipes have that rust/orange look, what is IIRC?

"If I remember correctly"

May be better in the long run if you can just fill with higher octane gas (if available).
