face=Arial>Hi everyone. My car is still spitting, sputtering, doesn't like
accelerating. I had my mechanic put the kit on from Jim and asked him to clean
out my gas tank, fuel lines and filter. I got it back and it ran like a dream
for three days. Towed it back in and my mechanic said the filter was full of
trash. He replaced it and it ran better, but not perfect, I couldn't get it
home. I U-turned and took it back. I asked him to please clean the lines again
when he got to it. He did blow them out and said the fuel pump was all gunky
and trashy. I got it back, he hasn't made up a bill yet, so I'm not sure what
he did to the fuel pump. I do know he adjusted the valves. It's still spitting
and sputtering on acceleration. I put the sea foam stuff in the gas tank and
filled it up and drove it just a little bit. Around the block a few times. No
hills on my block. It cruises pretty well. If I accelerate at all it's cuts
out like crazy. If I let off the gas and let it<BR>coast, it's perfect. Any
ideas? I'm at my wits end and my husband is tired of writing checks for all
the work with no results.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Did either you or your mechanic put in fresh fuel once the tank was
cleaned? Just asking, as this sounds more like crappy fuel (watered down?).
But, it's possible that some of the trash that got by the filter ended up at
the injectors (since some of it was found in the pump). Also, you could take a
look at the hoses in the engine bay, and see if any are loose/falling off or
are split/cracked (the hose to the MPS is kind of known for this
problem). The FI system does not like any "air leaks", and that can cause
problems if you have a leak. This is something you could do at home
(inspecting the hoses). You can use WD40 to check for air leaks (the 4 big
hoses at the IAD, and where they attach to the heads), as it'll bring the idle
speed up when it finds a spot that's leaking.
