Deiseling problem....... - 6/9/2008 7:39:13 PM    Box Chev   Posts: 2 Joined: 5/16/2008 Status: offline Hello all...... I have an ''89 Caprice Wagon.  307, 5.0L My car deisels, but when i leave it in gear then turn it off its ok. I did a minor Tune Up (plugs and wires) and it still does it. I''ve lowered the idle. I got it smogged a few months back and it passed with no prob. With that said i was told to run some fuel injection cleaner through the manifold to clean up maybe some carb? but that would mean im burning dirty gas right? and if i passed smog than that wouldnt be a reason right? i dont know............ Also the engine is running kind of rough so everybodys telling me its the timing and to turn the distributor cap, but my cap is stationary with the 4 pins on the botton so i cant move it to fix the timing.......... any suggestions would be greatly appreciated..........
