Ford Falcon 1997: Surging under acceleration

Asked by Brad Carlon

Our 1997 EL Falcon has a surge problem under acceleration. We thought it was a blocked injector and put several bottles of cleaner through it, which helped, but it seems to reoccur whenever the fuel level in the tank drops. What do you think the problem might be?

Have the injectors cleaned to make sure it isn't a partly blocked injector, if that doesn't fix the problem replace the injectors.
