Subject:      Techron solved my stumbling idle and stalling problems!

        Since my normal commute vehicle's (Mercury Villager) brakes
        wore out, I've been driving the 90/91 Westfalia on the drop-kids-
        at-school circuit in the mornings. Stumbling and stalling have been
        getting worse as well as general drivability (except after protracted
        freway speed runs) due to stumbling idle.


        I've been meaning to spend a weekend delving into these problems but
        haven't found the time...so I tried Techron additive on the last
        trip to the gas station, last Thursday. It worked! My Westfalia
        doesn't stall when cold nor stumble  anymore while idling.


        Better living through chemistry, indeed![*]
