RE: mustang lagging on hard acceleration
I just had the same thing happen to my car last weekend. I changed the fuel filter, cleaned the air filter, cleaned the throttle plate.-I tw as still doin it though. I started to check my plugs and when I got to the secod plug, I realized a vacuum line from the intake pipe to the plenum was disconnected. It took me 6 days to figure it out. So you may want to double check all your hoses. Amazing how one hoe will cause that much of a nuisance

RE: mustang lagging on hard acceleration
could this problem be because of the intake a while back ago the intake stripped out where the spark plug screwes into it,supposidly they fixed it,im thinking about just changing the intake,but i want to go with a s/c later on,any advice and could this be a reason?
