Badiceman Posted January 9, 2008 Author Share Posted January 9, 2008 They are saying the fuel injectors are full of crap and need to be replaced. But I still dont get how the F they got all clogged up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittamaru Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 (edited) Do you use Injector Cleaners at all? Some of them are pure @!*% and shouldn't even be on the market... but the good ones do you a LOT of good. Bad quality fuel can do it to... and letting your tank go near-empty allows a lot of the sludge and @!*% in the bottom of the tank to get into the injector system... my truck had this problem a while... ran injector cleaner thru it 4 times in a row and it very quickly solved itself Also - tell them you WANT the old injectors...

exploited789 Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 hmmm makes me think because my truck was sitting in the desert with fuel in the tank for about a year before i rebuilt it but i checked the injectors and one was spraying fine and the other seemed to as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badiceman Posted January 9, 2008 Author Share Posted January 9, 2008 Why do I want the injectors? Make sure they really replaced them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 And to see how clogged they really are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badiceman Posted January 10, 2008 Author Share Posted January 10, 2008 Oh ok I will be sure to do that. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittamaru Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Yes... tell them you want ALL the parts they said they replaced... tell them that, should they be "unable" to give them to you for ANY reason, that they can collect the cost of the labor and parts for whatever parts they cannot produce to give to you from you in court, or they can forget about it. A lot of places try to rip people off like that... it's a damn shame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87WD21 Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 My truck does this thing where as you accelerate it sort of lurches and you loose all power. -Badiceman same thing is happening to me ... also has trouble starting it will start but idle low or jump -exploited789 Had these exact problems on my 87. All it needed was a forty dollar ignition coil and it's running again like a champ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badiceman Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share Posted January 23, 2008 (edited) The new injectors seemed to fix it untill this morning! Its doing it agian! So annoying! I just want it fixed! Its time for injector cleaner. Edited January 23, 2008 by Badiceman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badiceman Posted January 27, 2008 Author Share Posted January 27, 2008 This problem is really starting to bug me and cost me a lot of money! The car lurches=lack of fuel. Lack of fuel=clogged injectors. Replaced injectors and they clog again. Injector cleaner fixes temporally. Car sat for a long time. Crap in fuel tank from sitting is re-clogging injectors? Take to shop have fuel tank flushed? Maybe that will fix? Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittamaru Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Aight, stop driving it for the moment: Possible causes I can think of : Sludgy oil / Fuel - remedy - drop oil pan and gas tank, clean em out, flush the lines. Removes injectors and have them blown out, clean spark plugs, and inside of cylinders. That should remove any and all residue. Hit up a new oil and fuel filter. This is just from reading over my tech manual for my auto mechanics class... tis a possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
