a hydrolocked motor isn't that hard to "free". All you do is remove the plugs and let the fluid out! I did that when my Accel AFPR crapped out on me a few years back.

It isn't "hydrolocked". He has been driving it.

I had an injector failure back in December that washed down and bound the #6 cylinder and loaded up the oil pan with gas.

Now, It starts fine, it runs fine under a load but stumbles at idle and at coasting speeds. You can see the voltmeter drop from 2/3 to 1/2, 2/3 to 1/2 as it sits at idle or coasting. It's as if cylinder 6 is running tight.[/QUOTE]
How do your think a cylinder binding (seizing?) up and maybe still running tight, relates to a stumble at idle and alternator output? I don't get the connection. Does the engine seem to suffer any symptoms related to cylinder wall or piston ring damage? Is it using a lot more oil since the event?
