- '01 Sport Trac
Hey all, I have an 01 sport Trac with 220K that's still going strong (or as strong as can be hoped for at 220k, perhaps). So I was hoping to get some tips on cleaning my injectors. I was going to buy the tools to do it myself. Not just the bottles that you put in the gas tank, but the regulated hopper that you plug straight into the fuel line. I want to do this because the truck has idled a little roughly for the last few months and in the last few weeks I have heard a strange whistle that sounded like a radio frequency. I finally noticed that when I barely push the gas pedal that the frequency changes pitch. So, I was trying to figure out what it could be, and I googled something like "strange gas pedal whistle". Anyway, someone suggested a clogged fuel injector, so, here I am.
Anybody have a preferred brand of tools? Or is it worth the effort at all? I saw an otc for about 150 but I'm going to call a mechanic to see if it's just going to be cheaper to go to him instead..
Thanks
