I tried a fuel filter and cleaner in the tank... I should try another bottle of cleaner in the tank because it's been a while, and if that doesn't do it, see if I can pull out the fuel rail and get a look at those injectors. Is it possible for the average mechanically minded person to remove and clean the fuel injectors to a satisfactory ( read like they do at a garage) level that would make a difference in the vehicles performance such as Sasmaster6000 writes? Do tell, I'd love to do it myself as prices I've been quoted are in the high (compared to a bottle of STP!) Thanks, DavidBC Mercury Mystique David BC White '96 Mystique GS ATX - A work in progress!

I'll find out when I get them out and take a look. It is, of course, possible that I might end up ruining the injectors and have to buy new ones... 96 GL Zetec ATX, white with pinstripe, nickname " Sam Smooth " mods so far: CTA intake with homemade heat shield, KVR drilled front rotors & carbon pads w/ 500� fluid planned mods: exhaust (want to keep it quiet), e-ram (awaiting installation), diablo chip involuntary mods: compression increased after head gasket failure

It helped my '96 with 90k soooo much. Yank the intake tubing/box, unbolt the fuel rail, and pop them out. They are easy to change! 96 Contour GL (2.0L Zetec, ATX) Sony CDX-C780 HU, Sony CDX-805 10 disc Changer, Sony XDP-210EQ, RF Punch 100.2 Amp, RF Punch 240.4 Amp, Dual 12'' Punch subs, Four Infinity Kappa 693.3i 6x9's, Optima Yellow Top CTA Intake, Hood Struts, EL Ford Logo, Hi Beam/Low Beam Mod, Blue LEDs in door handles and footwells
