[T3] 1600 F/I has a cough
I think my mistake was pouring fuel injector cleaner in my gas tank, because
now my recently purchased 70' sqbk has indigestion. I just had a full
service tune-up 2 weeks ago and the fuel filter was replaced at that time,
but the car is acting like it has a clogged fuel filter (i.e. at low rpm's it
has a tendency to surge and flutter a little like it's not getting fuel). At
higher rpm's the problem seems to disappear and reappear from day to day.
When I give it gas, it seems to go away. I think I have clogged a fuel line
or an injector with carbon deposits that became loosened from the fuel
injector cleaner. Before I take her into the mechanic I thought I would
throw it into the list. Any thoughts?
