This request is not for me. I use Techron prior to every oil change. A young one here at work is having hesitation issues with her 2008 Scion tc (40K miles). Someone on a Scion forum recommended using BK44K for this problem.
Mr. Boyd recomends Techron. Mr. Boyd is wise.
08 w/ 40k I recommend warranty service.
She says she is outside her warranty
plugs and wires......
Trade it.

Tell here to wait a week or so I'm sure Toyota will recall it for something. ;-)

She is thinking of trading it in. I think she likes making $500 per month car payments. She is $3,000 upside down now.
motorollow have you driven it how bad is the hesitation??

She put some fuel injector cleaner in the car last night, but she can't remember which brand she bought. She said it seems to run better. She had originally bought the $2,500 extended warranty, but then she cancelled it. Is the hesitation issue usually covered under the power train warranty?
I would guess 3/36, but it could depend on how much noise you make.Quote:

Is it kicking a CEL or is she just looking for a reason to replace it. ;-)
She is not feeling comfortable driving it to her parent's house in W. Texas (6 hour drive). She will probably trade it. She said she has owned 3 new cars in her young life (she's only 23!!).
Is her last name Orgeron?Quote:
