Well the other day I was goin down the road to grab some shopping from Tescos, on the way back the car begins to splutter, of course stupid me ran the tank dry. "whoops"
I managed to make it to the garage to whack some fuel in, but after that the injector light came on, and the injectors are running VERY rough from the sound they began to make when I drove off.
Too start off with, there was a loss of power, the car would misfire, total power loss followed by a sudden surge of power, and continuous roughness sound.
So I gathered I'd dragged some dirt into the injectors (quite a bit to cause that kinda thing) and bought some fuel injector cleaner, whacked a load in and began to rev the car nice and hard in my driveway, to get it flowing through.
Overtime, about 5/6hrs it began to clear up, the injector light came on and off, it sounded better, it began to clear up, eventually the light went off completely, the engine sounded like it was before!! Great I thought.
For a few days it ran fine, occasionally spluttering, which I put down to the last of any dirt clearing.
Then today, its started all over again, the injectors sound rough, although no loss of power.
It begins to clear when revving it in the driveway after a while, but when taking it out onto the road the injector light comes back on and the injectors sound rough again?!?!?
Have the injectors gone or is it simply a case of excessive amounts of dirt pulled into the injectors and its just a matter of time to clear it?
I'd rather its the latter of course.
Thanks for any help.
