Hello.. I have noticed lately that when im flooring the stang on 3rd then 4th it tends to hesitate and makes a rattle snake type of sound. It doesnt sound like something is broken just a rattly sound and also once its running hot say over the half mark on the normal temp.. it rattles snakes on 5th gear. But only when I floor it. I was wondering if its lack of fuel.. but I replace the fuel filter already and keeps doing it.. other than that if I keep it cool on the rpms it runs great. Could it be the timing? ohh and one more thing today When I fueled up I smelled fumes from the gasoline .. opened up the hood and you could smell the gas.. any suggestions ........ thank you ..

prolly a good idea to change the plugs, cap, rotor, and wires</P>

i think the "rattle snake" is the engine spark knocking

So what should I do about the engine spark knocking ??

Retard your timing perhaps.
