    Injectors getting louder. Is one on the way out?

    I've had a slightly uneven idle intermittently for a long time, even after Ford changed the CPS. When that did nothing I unplugged the harness from as many sensors as I could get to check for moisture, cleaned them and reassembled them with a little plug grease to repel future moisture. This...
