hard to start in the morning.95 LS
I put in lucas treatment 4 days ago with only about 9 gallons of fuel in the tank.3 days later, it started acting up.On the 3 rd day ,it would not start unless I spray the air cleaner with a little carb cleaner.I have researched a lot and just don't know.I went ahead and filled up my tank.I have only driven 20 miles since the fill up.It still did it this morning.The car is currently idling outside.I went under and found the culprits for these things.I found where the crank,cam sensors,fuel filter and the most likely the fuel pump.I have ruled out the efi and the fuel pump relay in the engine bay.Any ideas before I finish this full tank and see what happens?.Another SC memeber had this same issue with that concerntrated LUCAS oil on a half tank.

I suggest you to check the fuel pump resistor bypassing relay. Is it properly working? The fuel pump resistor is bypassed when engine starts to get higher fuel pressure. When the relay fails, the engine needs longer time to start.
Another thing I worry about is that the density was so high that the build-up varnish at the fuel line was coming to fuel injectors and some minor clogging was occurred there. If so, it would be better to clean injectors professionally but before that empty the tank and fill the new gas with some proper amount of good solvent to clean injectors.

lucas treatment supposed to be added to a full tank of gas correct?! i agree the high amount of solution may have been too much for the injectors, or may have ruined your fuel pump.

Unlike many others on here, I am telling you guys how I fixed it.I ran a scan and ordered the CRANK SENSOR from ebay.10 minutes under the car and not needing anymore ether/starting fluid,.....................it's now all fixed.
