Wow...it's been a long time since I posted something. My 2002 TL-S is still running strong at 85K. But this morning when I start her up, it began hesitating and the engine light came on. So, I brought her in to the dealer thinking it might be a fuel filter acting up. Wrong! The service rep. found out that one of the 6 injectors is clogged. He proceeded to tap the dirty injector and the problem should be gone (we'll see since I'm still sitting in the waiting lounge). They are going to charge me about $60 to put some sort of injector cleaner directly into the engine manifold that should be able to fix the problem for now he claims. His advice long term is to replace all 6 injectors. What do you guys think? Has anyone came across the same problem? Is it an easy DIYer if I don't want to get shafted by the dealer's high labor cost?

I dont think its necessary to replace all 6. If they clean them good enough id say its fine. If it hapens again, id be inclined to pull the sock filter out of the tank and replace that. and id aslo possibly have the lines cleaned. (odds are you have contaminance in it if it happens again)

Let tehm clean them and then see if it happens again.
