Title: lumpy running engine
Post by villatone on Aug 22^nd, 2007, 12:08pm

had a new head gasket fitted (and head planed) and
the engine was running sweet. Occasionaly when tank
half empty or less when I ease off the gas at a
junction then set off again the engine is lumpy and
struggles if going uphill after a while or if I stop for a
few minutes and restart its ok again.
Last time I filled the tank I put in some Redex injector
cleaner and the engine seemed to run a little sweeter,
but back to lumpy now....any suggestions??
Thanks guys.

Fuel filter?. Have a look at THIS page (http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/fuelsystem.htm) where you will find details of how to change it. Located adjacent to petrol tank.
