Stictation

I think I have stictation, truck misses and is low on power on cold starts until the teuck warms up. My ficm volts never drop below 48. I am running rotella t6. I've been looking at rev x and arch oil 9100. Question is, how often do you need to use these products? Revx is $65 per 8 oz.. I couldn't afford to use it every oil change.

Does sound like a classic case of stiction. While I haven't use RevX I have used Archoil with some success. These additives are really just a bandaid. I had similar issues with my injectors and unfortunately the ultimate fix was a new ser of Ford Remans.

I used Archoil as a bandaid for maybe 4 oil changes until it would not help anymore. I identified the injector with IDS changed the injector, and it had been fine afterwards.

How do you diagnose a bad injector? Is it recommended to change out just the bad one or all 8?

Post # 3. Ids...... That is the best way. If you have Forscan or Torque and one goes totally wonky you will get a contribution/balance code. But to diagnose a weak injector, it would be best to find someone with Ids.
