@@toad3048 Symptoms are much different - dirty air filter means all cylinders low on power, which is not what was said to be the problem - but perhaps you're hard of hearing? On the other hand, clogged/leaky injector only affects one cylinder - but since he said the problem was getting better, it seems like dirty fuel is the culprit and draining the water separator and replacing fuel filters seems the most likely culprit. Engine wont get better with a clogged air filter - it only gets worse until it's changed/cleaned, so symptoms point to a fuel issue.

They are the all knowing all seeing belligerent fools that keep the rest of us frustrated all day.

Chris is perhaps 200 miles from the Outer Banks, closer to Wilmington. Not a lot of roads out here so my one option from Asheboro to OBX is route 64. NC's shoreline is very weird as is the length of the State. Going NE to SW, Moyock NC to Cherokee NC is 500 miles due to the shape of NC. One would think the ocean would be dead East from Nags Head but it is almost NE so the sun rises where one would perceive as SE.
