Hey Guys,
Do any of you have any older T444E buses that have a hard time getting up to speed? We have two 2002 Internationals here for spares, and both of them hardly have enough power to pull themselves along the road. When you get up to highway speeds you are alright, but it's just that initial pulling away from a stop power. Even with the pedal mashed to the floor it takes a long time to build speed.
One bus has a new turbo, and the other has a turbo from a few years back. Wastegates sticking??
I'm just curious if anyone else out there has suffered this?

| Yes, it almost always ends up being bad injectors |

| Thanks for the advice. Would it be too late for an injector cleaner treatment? |

| Injector cleaner never hurts to try, it's a cheap start. Its just never worked for me, I've always had to replace the injectors. It's worth a shot, I would drain the fuel filter and put strait injector cleaner in the the filter and run it. |
