Injector Questions

I have a 2007 Ford F-350 with 220,000 miles. I think I have an injector going bad, because when the truck is cold, it feels like it has a miss in it. When it gets warm, for the most part it goes away and runs fine. You guys on this site have never let me down, so does anybody have any ideas?

Thanks,

John in Mobile, AL

Get an obd2 wireless adapter and the Forscan app. Look for codes check for misfires.
Use Ford injectors. Autonation in White Bear Lake has them around $180.

Check the ficm volts? From what I hear, anything 46 and below is a troubled ficm.

Fuel pressure shouldn't be below 45 psi.

I bought the ArchOil Fuel System cleaner and the oil additive. I'll be damned it worked. I am just thrilled!!

ArchOil makes some great products. !

For me a new FICM at 160k fixed my stiction. The additives just band aid the problem but don't fix it. Good luck!

Sounds to me like a classic case of stiction that was cured with Archoil.
You are one of many happy customers, myself included.

As HP mentioned, it's not permanent but may very well last for years if you keep running it.
