All the guys that have used this stuff recommend Chevron Techron or the Redline stuff...All the other crap may make matters WORSE...Been there, done that...

ignition problem symptoms:
the car takes about 3 seconds of continual cranking if gas is not pressed while turning the key, sometimes will not start at all without gas being pressed. starts pretty easy is gas is being pressed. i just had a tune up done (new ngk spark plugs, fuel filter, and tps adjustment) hoping that would fix the problem but it continues.

In tank injector cleaner doesn't work. All you are doing is adding a few ounces of chemicals that are already in the gas...The only way to clean injectors is to remove them and have them properly serviced by an injection shop. Only costs about $25 per injector.
