Default Mustang takes crap from light.....

Whats up fellas......

i just tohughtid post here with a question i have,,,,this is what happens,,,,

sometimes when im at a light, waiting for it to turn green (some lights in this town take forever), then when it finally turns green, i start to go....im not trying to punch it or anything, just driving regular, but as soon as i push the accelerator from a stop, it will go for a split second then it will act like the fuel pump or line takes a crap and pretty much dial down to nothing for a split second then it will be normal and act like nothing happened.......what is this ****?

You could have a recalled fuel pump

would i be able to pull this off as a warranty issue or would it have to be out-of-pocket?

Maybe you should try the throttle reset. I just did it and it made a world of difference. My car feels like it first did when I added my C.A.I.

This is a issue with a good number of Mustangs and there is a FordTSB on it.
Does it happen after you having been driving at highways speeds? That is a usual sign.
The Dealer should fix this with no problem. They did mine after I showed them the TSB.

There is a long thread on anothet stang site about this.
