Re: 98 Windstar 3.8L-rough running at 1500 rpm

Spring lock couplings are used on a windstar to connect the fuel filter, the transmission lines to the radiator, etc. It's cheap, less than 5 bucks, well worth buying. Look for the scissor type. Basically you use it by closing it around a tube, and jamming it into the coupling. These things are way faster than the old gates clamps, or the compression fitting/nut method. My question is: Where does it say you have to use it? On my 95 3.8, once I got the rail loose from the intake manifold, I didn't need it, and I managed to pull all the injectors by hand, and a pair of needle nosed pliers.
