i always used wynnes fuel injection cleaner in mine and never had any problems

also get some carb cleaner- clean the icv, throttle assembly, and inlet out with it, is real good to do

diff oil change, pas fluid flush and change, brake fluid change, a full coolant flush and change, are all good to do, particularly if you dont know when last done

use quality diesel oil for 3k miles instead of engine flush,

anything Wynnes is all in the mind !
