No more hesitation

I was always upset by the fact that my car often hesitated when I step on the gas - like when I wonted to pass somebody I floor gas pedal and sometimes it took 1-2 seconds for the car to react. I now it wasn't tranny and did clean throttle body last summer with no improvement in that mater but last week I had my car in Nissan for oil change and reg. maintenance service and the gay sad that it's a good idea to do "fuel injection system service" to which I sad yes because it included throttle body cleaning. Since then I tried many times but every time I floor it is responds instantly

I was suspecting all the time that it's fuel related but I was convinced that I will have to clean the fuel filer but apparently my problem was closer to the engine - fuel injection system.

theres this stuff at autozone, i think its called Comet, or fireball or something along those lines. Suppose to be one of the best fuel injector cleaners out there. Just dump in your gas tank.

I've worked at Autozone for couple years now but I've never seen something like that. Can you please make sure what it exactly is? Because I want to clean my injectors also. BTW, what makes it very good? Thanks.

P.S. Is this it?

Redline SI-1 Complete Fuel Injector cleaner...every autozone I been to has it in stock...iirc, it's $6.99 or $7.99 a bottle....this is the most strongest and best fuel injection cleaner short of BG44k...

just browse on Bob Is the oil guy forums...and find out for yourself...they seem to rave over this stuff even over Chevron Techron...and Gumout Regane which is other good cleaners...
