Seriously, I found out that the closed Lowe's parking lot was completely unplowed. The snow was so deep that I didn't just fill the wheel wells, I filled the wheels with snow. I like to think that I did my civic duty by nearly clearing the lot down to bare asphalt. That's me, Mr. Civic Minded.

@Pris ... I think if you follow the advice in the linked duplicate thread, you'll probably solve your issue.

@BobCross ... We're not worthy! We're not worthy! We're not worthy!

@Pris ... What I'm talking about, it seems that your engine is dieseling after shutdown. This is usually caused from carbon buildup in the combustion chamber. A Seafoam treatment should clean this out and give your engine some relief. If it doesn't, then we can go from there.

@Pris ... This thread on another forum gives the exact method I'd follow to give your vehicle the Seafoam treatment I'm talking about.

I'm weary about seafoaming because I've heard everything from its just snake oil to it can cause damage. It might be a solution to a problem that doesn't exist (though I understand its a way to diagnose the problem as well). I wanted to try and verify what the problem is in a more... observational way. If it is dieseling caused by carbon deposits or what have you, then I can try seaform or another engine cleaner.

@Pris ... neither is true. Seafoaming will eliminate the possibility of carbon in the intake tract and combustion chambers, which is the main cause of dieseling. If it is still dieseling after the Seafoam, assuming it is done correctly, there is a much more serious issue. Start with the easy stuff and move to the more complicated (expensive) things.
