'87 shakes
My friend's 87 fox 5speed shakes and jerks around whenever you let off the gas or get back in the gas easily. but when you floor it its normal, no shakes or anything. We've put new plugs, wires, cap and rotor, ujoints, retimed it and it still does it. do you think its fuel related? We were going to put my old fuel pump, injectors, and coil on the car tonight but he got caught doing a burnout and they impounded the car. so we'll have to wait until tomorrow to do anything but what do you guys think it could be?

he has a horrible record, just got his license back like 3 months ago after it getting restricted for too many tickets. well we put my old coil on it, and cleaned out a few plugs with electric cleaner and it fixed it so not sure what fixed it but its fixed now. but yes now that he got it impounded and got yet another reckless driving ticket he's selling the car because it gets him in too much trouble lol.

my 87 gt was shaking wen i in engaged it into gear and when i tried to gas it it would do nothing or just jump around the only way i got it to go was by reving the gas b e for i engaged the clutch then 10-15 minutes later it died anyone think they know what the problem is ....
