Re: stumble after seafoam

If it were due to a fuel filter, the problem would get worse as engine load rises. He only indicated the problem was within a narrow rpm band.

In that range, it is due to EGR problems. Do you still have an EGR? If so disconnect it and plug the vac line and try it again.

If it still persists, pull up the fuel rail and have someone crank it over while you observe each injector spray pattern. Chances are good if you haven't been cleaning the fuel system regularly, the seafoam washed the gunk to the end of the line. The fuel rails.

Re: stumble after seafoam

I forgot to mention i did change the fuel filter it ran better after but still the stumble

thats good info about the egr i still have it connected but its all tuned out i guess it could still be a vac leak though?

thats a good idea bout the fuel rails that old fuel filter was real nasty ive only had the car a couple months so i dont know how much maintinance was done i think im gunna try some fuel injecter cleaner whats a good brand to use anyone?
