PS truck is down on power, seems to have a bad injector... it smoked alot of white smoke, ive been adding cetane and trans fluid to the fuel and the smoke is 1/10th it used to be and idles alot better now.... power is back up to where it should be...



[/ QUOTE ] You may want to put some of that transmission fluid your putting in your fuel tank in your transmission. Check your transmission fluid level. Low fluid level will cause stalling concerns like this. If the fluid level is ok drop the pan and see if the correct filter is installed and that it hasn't fallen out of the pump inlet.

Trans level is fine, but i guess i will have to drop the pan to see if it has the correct filter. i assume i can just purchase it from napa and use TYPE F FLUID??? Do you know of a part number i can cross it to?
Thank you for your help, i do appreciate it.
As for adding lube to the fuel, this truck has had a white smoke problem for awhile and always idled really really bad. Ford deamed it as a dead hole, ive been adding oil and trans fluid to it and the smoke will go away, and the power comes back.
I assume its a bad injector because it will idle good, then bad, then good, then bad and once it has more lube, it will idle fine and not blow any smoke at all..

Seems that the extra lube in the fuel will keep the smoke down...
any thoughts on my issues?
thanks

The Torque Converter can NOT make it shall going down the road. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif The only way a TC can make the engine stall is if it doesn't unlock when stopping and then it will feel like coming to a stop in a manual trans without pushing the clutch in.

You need to look at your CPS first. You should have a spare anyway so just buy a new one and try it. If that doesn't work you need to find some one to look at the DATA STREAM and pull any codes. If there are codes the test procedure that correlates to that code needs to be followed, not skipping any steps and in the order listed.

Thanks for the help, do you have a link to abbreviations?
Honestly i dont know what a cps is.

It would only die if i would be driving down the road at a steady pace and let out of the throttle going back to idle.. it would only do it once in awhile, put it into neutral and fires right back up and not have another issue...
