My minivan is a 2002 Montana Pontiac with 220,000 miles. Tune up 2 to 3 years ago. Runs great. Just beginning to "chug" and hesitate in acceleration around 40mph and beyond. Consistent hesitation and slight but noticeable "chugging". MPG appears to be fine/average. Possible gas flow problems? I can change the gas filter....but WHAT do you recommend for cleaning the injectors/gas line?....."IF"...that's the problem. ??? Any other suggestions of what it could be?
