leave the shifter in S, and go as fast as the injection pump will let you. there's a built-in fuel cutoff at the max engine speed, so don't be afraid.
2-3 miles at a time in this manner should do the job.

List,
I have a question on the "Italian tune-up". Not wanting to get a speeding ticket from our local law enforcement, would it damage the tranny to keep it in a lower gear? Keep a steady rpm load in a lower gear for a set amount of time or distance? I enjoy high speed driving, but not at the expense of
my driving privilege.  Comments please.
