Busy man.......Me too, going through the truck and removing some of the crap stuff. Then I need to focus on the Mustang. Somethings wrong. The car shutters and runs real bad under throttle and pops when I start it. Like a small back fire. The whole damn car shakes and sounds frick'n horrible. I took a quick look and doesn't seem like there is an exhaust leak. I was talking with Jason and it may be bad fuel. I went to the Shell station down the road, which I never do, because I was in a hurry. Out of nowhere this stuff started so it kind of make sense that it could be the fuel....Better the fuel than a #8 failure........

Does sound like it could be bad gas. Try putting some fuel treatment in there that's for water removal maybe?

Still waiting on my SYE, driveshaft and adjustable upper control arms to arrive for the Jeep. Then I'll be ready to get it dirty!

good possibility, i have seen them put gas in when its pouring rain. they open the hatch thingy and water goes in before they get the hose on.

I spent yesterday moving a bed and installing a new electric stove. Today I replaced the intake and pop-off valve filters on the Stang. Then slow cooking ribs for dinner.
