I have taken my car for Tune uo service twice last year thinking that the engine car sound will go away, unfortunately when i'm on the road the sound of the injectors when, I accelerate is like a ticking sound very fast, seems like the injectors have a problem, and the engine looses it power /
Please tell me what to do.

Everytime, I have sent my car for Complete Tune Up service, the filters that normally are changed ;

a) Air Filter
b) Fuel Filter

I do not know if you are referring to an additional filter I did not mentioned above.

Best Regards

No, the oil filter tho important to be sure, is not going to quiet the injectors. You are sure about the injectors? Could it be the lifters? As in one or two is collapsing? Power loss will occur in this case also! Run engine till the problem occurs, then do a compression test. This will reveal a lifter. Other than that, you will need to test the injectors with an oscilloscope.
