engine lag
he all im doin my friend a favor because hees an idiot... lol
he has a 01 3.8 stang with the 5spd and i after driving it think it has a problem...
in between shifts the engine dosent drop RPM like everything else i have driven, it hold the RPM so when i speed shift even in i lift completly off the throttle it lunges the car forward. also it seems a little gutless from what i drive and i dont think it should be
what could it be? he has a cracked exhaust manifold but ive had that problem b4 and never gotten this problem

RE: engine lag
sticky throttle plate. I find that happens in high dust areas. Take the intake hose off at the throttle body and take some carb cleaner or intake cleaner on a rag and manualy open the throttle plate (with the car off) and clean the area around the throttle plate. You'll probably find a bit of 'ring' around the plate that causes it to stick.
If that doesn't work, remove the TPS and clean it.
