Ok my car was spuddering and all this BS so i took it to the dealership from cutting out ect ect. So anyway i just got a call from the ford dealership for my 2000 ford mustang GT and they are charging me 520 dollars. They said the problem was a dirty MAF, throttle body, fuel filter needs replacing, and fuel injectors. I got the price worked out with autozone and i can afford the parts myself. Only thing i want to know is how hard is it to do all that?

maf is nothing,all you need is a flathead screwdriver, fuel filter you need a special tool for and as for the others i wouldnt imagine theyd be too incredibly difficult as they're right on top so u dont have to rip half the engine apart but having never done either i cant really say for sure

i think fuel filter would be the problem. How hard are they to fix yourself?

Something I forgot to mention, get a quality repair manual like the one from Haynes.

Get your car back IMMEDIATELY.

That is utter BS.

All of those things are easily done yourself and the cost would be around $35.

don't buy anything from a Ford dealer unless its Randy Stinchcomb or Steve at Tousley Ford. Otherwise you will get raped.

I will search the fourms for the MAF cleaning. Do i clean the throttle body out like with a wet rag and get all the BS crap and dirt out of their? Also for cleaning the fuel injectors, can i just buy some fuel pump/fuel injector cleaner and pour it into my gastank and run it through the car to clean it up?
