I was driving yesterday and suddenly it sputtered and cut off. Would not restart. I thought maybe I was out of gas since my gauge was bouncing around. I wasn't far from home and got a gas can and added 2 gallons. Still would not start.
I drained the tank this morning and it had about 4 gallons in the tank. The gas from the tank looked ok. When I went to the filter at the engine and drained it, I got a nice shade of rusty brown and there was a lot of grit about the texture of sand. I drained all of the lines and will replace the filter. How far should I go? Do I need to clean the injectors as well? Take off the fuel rails? What about the fuel pump? BTW, It is a 3.2 |
