YES AND NO. Yes, for a while. No, not for long. At the very minimum it needs to be diluted with D2 or K1 to lower viscosity. THere is not alot of info on running a mix, so nobody knows the long term effects. You are FAR better off buying a VO kit. I would not do it any other way. Chris

    Its not the case with 201s. The gas-filled hood stay provides the  first stop and one latch at the left hinge releases it from the full  vertical position. And on the 202, it's a little spring release on the left. The 203 uses a red button on the left strut which requires a strong thumb to

Replace the idle control valve hoses and clean the idle control valve -- it's dirty and doesn't open back up fast enough as the car comes to a stop. This will also cure the throttle lag. You should also check all the small vacuum lines, the rubber is surely long dead and leaking. Peter
