A while back after sitting all winter my truck was showing signs of fuel delivery problems to the injectors etc. I had the classic " starts and then stalls never to start again syndrome " I replaced the fuel filter and all the injector return lines, caps and O rings ran the truck for a day or two and then parked the truck for 18 days. This morning I jumped into the cab and she started right up and drove all day flawlessly.The last time I did this service was almost five years ago. MAINTENANCE does help in keeping my IDI running like new

Oddly enough, I had just the same experience with my old 350-powered C10 Chevy (double-pumper Holley, the works), only mine sat for over a month and I had to literally dig it out the snow in temperatures well below zero - proper fuel system maintenance goes a looong way, in any vehicle.
