This guy wasn't a mechanic, he was Satan trying to tempt you. Looks like he did real good job of it too. Now you need to figure out how to get that gunk out before your engine turns into scambled eggs.

Techron concentrate added to gasoline will clean fuel injectors - just pour a bottle in, no measuring or even thinking is necessary. You can buy this at Chevron or elsewhere.

Tell the list where you live and ask for a referal for a real mechanic. Who knows what else this evil spirit has done to muck up your engine. He may have molested it.
