Is it the same fuel and cleaner that was in there or did you dilute it and run as much out of the lines and pump when you did the filter change? I'm still thinking you're trying to run the engine on bad fuel.

well no didnt do any of that. i guess i could push it up next to the pump it is at a gas station parking lot, but why would it run fine for 160miles and then crap out if it was bad gas to begin with?

Either you didn't read what I posted in #3 and 5 above or I was misled that you put injector cleaner into a less than 1/2 tank of fuel and it died a few miles down the road.

From what you stated in your original post, it sounded like you had too high a concentration of cleaner in the fuel. Your car can probably run 5-10 minutes under light load before what you put in the tank makes it to the combustion chamber.

ok well i put new gas in it, just got it home but on the way there it wanted to fight and it shut off, then when i turned it back on it wouldnt stay on but for a second, had to rev it to keep it up, so then got it in the driveway and it pretty much felt like it was missing, kept wanting to turn off then it would catch itself and stay on but would be constant

Are you saying it's running, although still "sputtering"? I suspect that once you get whatever was in the fuel system from the pump to the engine flushed with "better" fuel from the fuel tank, she'll run better.

you should be throwing a code, or engine light should be on. good to replace that fuel filter every 30k, it will look like mud coming out. maybe its not fuel related. sounds like its in need of a good tune up. its about time to replace the wires, plugs, clean the throttle body and the maf sensor, hows the air filter look? its possible your coil is crapping out. i`ll look in the book tonight.

we had a fuel pump go bad on the 06 at 24k miles, so its possible.

Well the fuel filter was in need of a change it was brown coming out, but that wasnt the problem lol. i had issues with my belt friday morning somehow the belt kept coming off the pulleys (belt was 1 1/2months old) so went to autozone well my belt somehow stretched like an inch the new belt could fit in my old belt. so put that on it ran fine, then friday night came about with all that stupid ****. Well took it a mechanic and something is wrong with the harmonic balancer so somehow the belt tore into the crank sensor sooo yeah

amustangrocks

ya, the crank pulleys coming apart is real common. happened to mine too.

Well, brown fuel coming out of the filter IS a possible problem, depending which end it came out! If you have 'brown fuel' going into the filter, the fuel in the tank is really dirty and needs to be cleaned out. Otherwise a new filter will clog very quickly.
