This is an 03 6.0.

Any ideas...? About 40 miles prior to these symptoms I stopped for fuel. There was snow on the end of the fuel nozzle and I wiped most of it off. The pump was pumping REALLY slow, so I stopped and went to another place for fuel. Is it possible that the snow(water) plugged the fuel filter OR the limited fuel (97 cents worth at $2.77 a gallon) I did put in at the first station was contaminated, again plugging the filters?

My only other idea was a restricted air filter.

Thanks for your assistance....

Possible but doubtful. When was the last time you changed the fuel filters?

 

[Bobus]

Any Dash lights? CEL? Water In Fuel Light?

 

[rambo5561]

Havent changed the filters since last winter. Going to change them today. No CEL or water in fuel lights...

Since last winter? Do you drive 800-1000 miles a month?

Fixed..... for now.

#8 injector was bad. $688.70 to replace one injector and the "diagnostic" charge. What a deal.

Change those fuel filters every 10-12K mies or plan to spend more money getting injectors changed out.
