Subject: Re: DML: Back from Houston...Arghhh!!
I would change the fuel filter if it has not been done in a while, I
have had several vehicles do what you are describing. Usually this
was
right after I put in a bottle of injector cleaner for the first time
in
a while (guess it gets all that crap loose from the gas tank too). In
my
f-150 I had to do this THREE times before it completely stopped. I
like
to try the simple things first.Hope this helps
