I read the whole post about the car running off oxygen in the air, at idle. So try starting and revving a car with no gas in it by using the oxygen in the air. Let us know how that goes

But it only works if the muffler belt is tight...

when you rev you are obviously giving it "gas" but i wouldnt think it would actually use any gas from your tank...can someone clear this up for me and maybe explain as to why it is
well where else are you gonna get gas from?

My muffler belt is Chuck Norris and my car runs on rainbows and dreams.
