Crown Victoria Injection Problems

Having a weird issue with my 2009 Ford Crown Victoria with a gasoline engine. It's got 223691 kilometers on it, and the injection system seems to be acting up. Fuel consumption is way up, power is down, it stalls at idle sometimes, and smokes when I accelerate. I checked under the hood and think it might be a bad cable or plug. Anyone seen this before?

Crown Vic, eh? Sounds familiar. I had almost the same symptoms on mine. Power was down, and it felt like I was constantly at the gas station. Have you checked the fuel injectors themselves? Could be a bad batch of fuel gumming things up.

When you had the reduced power and fuel consumption, did your engine also stall at idle or smoke when you accelerated? How did you figure out it was the fuel injectors? Did you do any tests or see anything?

Yeah, the stalling was intermittent, and I did see some smoke on hard acceleration a couple of times. I didn't have the tools to properly diagnose it myself, so I just took it to a workshop. They ran some tests and confirmed it was the injectors.

Thanks! I'll take it to a workshop. Hopefully, it won't cost more than 95€.
