[AT] oil change

[Ralph Goff]

Ok, ok, trick question and I fell right into that one. I suppose we need to 
get specific here and refer to the situation as "Intake icing". A fuel 
injected engine still takes in air, the same air as a carbureted engine so 
it might be possible for the moisture in the air to freeze in the air intake 
and create ice?
And wasn't the early GM throttle body fuel injection system not that far 
removed from a carburetor in design? I've never owned one like that and my 
4.3 Blazer does have the injectors hidden deep inside the intake manifold 
somewhere.
And yes, it ran fine today  with not a hint of icing or hesitation at an 
observed outdoor temp of -4F.
