    Break in Procedure for a rebuild...

    I just had my 2000 225 Opti rebuilt for a failed #2 cyl...Is there a break in mode for the computer that can be set, if not, what is the proper procedure?

    Secondly, can the computer be set to run richer if I am still using the old style fuel injectors?

    Is it recommended to run the Stabil ethanol additive in the tank, or what would you recommend for counteracting the ethanol in the gasoline?

    Any suggestions or comments are appreciated.....

    Thanks...gene

    "Break-In Mode" can be reset via the Computer Diagnostic System, a DDT, or as a last resort, via a "field service" technique. Recommend utilizing the CDS or DDT method if possible.

    For break-in information, see:
