Car Forum / Mitsubishi Cars / May 2004STP Gas Treatment ok for turbos?
Ive got a 99 eclipse GST that I have only 1 payment left on (woohoo!). It starts hard on cold mornings, and a friend suggested I use STP gas treatment. I got a bottle of the concentrated stuff, is it safe to use for my turbo? will it hurt the engine? While cleaning the injectors may help, I'd suggest you also replace the fuel filter. If that doesn't remedy the situation, clean the throttle body.  Signature"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

Judging by your totally unrelated "crank walk" statement, I assume you are a 2k+ Eclipse owner. The symptoms aren't even similar.

"Crank walk is very rare." tell that to the guys in the 1gina2g yahoo group. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DSM1gina2g/ there are 600 guys on that list who might wish to argue. my buddy ted, who owns a japanese import repair shop is doing two eclipse motors a week. he might also disagree with the notion that crank thrust failures are rare (mitsu is making him wealthy). it's really google that tells the tale though, with 1,410 hits for "crankwalk". most everything is regarding the 2G eclipse. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=crankwalk you must be new, no i don't drive a 3G. i've been driving awd dsm's for 11 years. the present car is a '97 gsx 6 bolt stroker that's supposed to be 400whp. my post stands as written. if you own a 2G you need to be aware of the issue and it's symptoms. i have seen a lot of posts from people who have spent a ton of money trying to get their "clutch" fixed only to find that they've wasted their money and that their motor is shot. my end play was .015" what's yours? > Crank walk is very rare.

Yet another person that sees a broken harmonic balancer and calls it crank walk. Out of dozens of CW cases, only 1 was real..and that was on a poorly maintained engine. The rest had busted crank wheel pulleys and didn't under stand how to really measure crank play.

Dear god...how many idiots quote this sh.t like it's common. You are wrong. CW, which is a DSM term, happens to every vehicle ever made. Most spin a bearing before they notice it. It's the same thing, although some see oil out their rear or main seal first. Give me the names of 5 people you know, personally, with CW. You can't do it.
