Years ago my girlfriend had a Tercel with a funky feedback carburetor that no one could seem to tune right.

At one time there was a Toyota service tip to shoot the valves with crushed walnut shells. Anyway, a mechanic at Toyota told us to add two bucks worth of diesel to every full tank (again, long time ago!). We did, and that little car ran great for the rest of it's life.
