Default Can't figure it out....,

I have and 07 GT that has ran like a champ up till now , yesterday it started acting odd like it wasn't getting enough fuel when I put my foot on the gas then it warmed up and was fine now today it happened again but this time it never went away I got on the freeway doing about 70 and it started lightly throbbing here and there but the check engine light never came on? And it is getting horrid mileage , I wanna figure this out before it gets any worse, any ideas? Thanks Tye

We need more info. How many miles? Does it start ok? Is it idling smooth ? How does it idle when you come to a stop? Does it accelerate smoothly? Any mods? Last air filter change? Last fuel filter change? Do you run any fuel system cleaner thru the fuel system on any regular basis? Do you use any fuel additives?

Maybe let it warm up for 5-10 mintues before getting in and going.? Just a thought.

Tape a cheetah to it's back?


On a more serious note, do you have after market coil packs?

I love those commercials

Have you ever cleaned your throttle body? Changed your fuel filter? Clogged cats?
