I tried fuel injector cleaners to no avail...I got the car with 53K miles, and I have only done oil changes and air filter maintenance, mainly because its been running so smooth and my mileage has been consistently good, so I didnt wanna start a cycle of mechanics messing with my car...The car idles very smooth... Any ideas if it could just be a need for tune-up ( i feel the fuel filter is the culprit), and if I buy all parts, who wants to give my tour a tuneup... He's chaaarging!!!...(add scottish accent)...

It kept throwing CELs until one day I couldn't handle it and brought it to ford. They automatically diagnoised it with a bad pump. Changed that and wow everything was good as game. 1997 T-Red Contour V-6 MTX It HaS BeGuN!!!!!!!!!!!

Changed mine last night BTW, didn't even have to jack the car up, even with SE sideskirts. 10 minute job, depending on how long it takes the car to die after removing the fuel pump fuse(#9 in the engine compartment fusebox on my 2000). I took her out last night, seemed to run a lot better(unless I was hallucinating from all the gas that came out of that thing) I change it every 15K. Good luck, hopefully that is it.
