Northland Dodge in its day was the best(leading) turbo Dodge dealer and repair service location ('86-'95). I am sure by now and since it is now Caldwell it may not have that great honor.
That was a waste of 30 minutes of my life. So many problems with that show. They talk Street Racing then it became a ET race. They should just run it as heads up and use the Tree. No reason to look under the hood of each persons car since the guy said the other was talking crap then just race and take the ride. They could have done 2 different races instead of 1. HOW MANY CAR LENGTHS...thats stupid.
It sounds like a injector(s) are leaking down. To test this theory hold the gas pedal to the floor while starting which shuts off the injectors to clear the fuel out of the Intake.
