2001 lincoln town car: hesitation, low power, rough idle
I try to be brief while including all pertinent information.
I get only a p0306 code. One time only, a few months ago
after putting in fuel cleaner, in the saved log there was a
fuel injector code (idk which).
The symptoms only happen after warm up, or when the ac
is on. The car runs top for about 15 min during cold start.
No trouble starting.
I've changed all sparkplugs, #6 coil (no bad signs on #6 but
others had oil on them), fuel filter (twice because of how
dirty). Checked all fuses. I can hear a vacuum leak in the
center of the engine, but using various methods including
smoke, have been unable to find. I have had a problem with
low power for ever since purchase, but now the car is
almost undrivable upon warmup. And if I run too lo ng it will
loose almost all power and run horribly.
One thing to note is if I'm on the highway it seems to
running pretty good even after warmup, but upon exiting it
promptly reminds me there's a problem.
I have listened to injector 6 with a stethoscope and it
sounds weaker than all the rest, but I hear it opening and
closing. I'm not very handy, but I'm willing to learn. Point
being that doing even small things is a big deal with a hurt
back and it's not simple for me too play manhunt changing
parts.
Any help is greatly appreciated
