95 sluggish/lost some power
I recently bought a 1995 F-150, 5-spd 300-six. The guy who owned it before me didn't drive it much. He mostly drove it in on the snowy days.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com

<o></o>
I drive it daily and noticed every once in a while it misses at idle. At slower speeds (35mpg) I noticed it hesitates a bit. It also doesn't have as much power as my 89-300-six has. Same drive train, but different acceleration.<o></o>
<o></o>
I did a tune up on the 95, cap, rotor and wires. I also replaced two broken vacuumed lines on the top of the motor that looks to be for the smog pump.<o></o>
<o></o>
Any other idea's for me to try? Do my injectors need cleaned? Since I bought it I've emptied the gas tank four times and ran the lucas fuel treatment, so it isn't old gas.<o></o>
Thank you
Joe

The previous owner said he’d replaced the fuel filter last fall.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
I'll never thought to check the timing!
Thanks
