Jesus, I didn't mention taking the plugs out?

Yes, take 'em out before commencing with the torching!

I was kidding! I envisioned someone with the plugs out, sitting on the ground facing the open wheel well, and torching towards the car..............screwing up the paint because they were so transfixed on getting the plugs dry.

It just takes getting used to the technique.
. . . i used the right amount... I just didn't push my starter like you wanted me to. Don't call me out like that. ha!

I'm also interested to see how you got this started, and using a torch to clean the plugs... I want to see how this turned out.

My bad... I thought after I did the "couple mist squirts" you said something like, "I put a lot more than that in there when I tried it."
Maybe I misunderstood you.
You also didn't give it slight gas when it started going (to keep it from wanted to stall).

^+1000........what was the trick? Inquring minds want to know.
We all know there are different ways to do it, guess we are just building up the database.....even if there is a new twist.

Silent8,

Doesn't really apply in this instance, but...............
Put this in your glovebox and bring it out to display proudly whenever you may be dropping your car off for some work, or you have an occasion where someone else may be moving it.
