I know its not a ford but this is the best forum ive found..
I added some injector cleaner to the fuel of my car (83 mercedes 500sec v8) and let it idle for a bit it seemed okay, revved it up a bit seemed ok, took it for a drive and it was okay until i went to goa round a corner where it just had no balls at all. I nearly had to floor it to get it to go 15kmh around the corner.

Should this happen? Im a bit worried

and blocked the fuel filter
