Ok, I've brought this up MANY times, but i still haven't fixed it. My car will just randomly stutter when i hit the gas, and buck back and forth. I feel like it's a bucking bronco. There are so many varibles to this problem, i will just make a list. Any input is apriciated.

Happens when engine is at running temp. (180*)

Happens more if engine has been idling for a decent time (like at a red light).

Engine feels like it is being cut of fuel.

If i hit the gas, it will go, then stop, then go, then stop.

The engine feels like it has NO torque. If i dump the clutch, it just bogs.

Engine revs fine in neutral (no load).

Scanned car, said system lean, MAF input voltage low, EGR voltage low.

Engine just lacks power (VERY SLOW).

I've already checked the timing (14*)

PLEASE HELP! THIS IS MY DAILY DRIVER!!!

 

back the timing to 10*, 180 is normal. you need to do something about the maf. is it stock?

 

the MAF is stock. but i swapped it out with one from another ford and it still did the problem. would timing be doin this?

 

it could, the more you advance the timing the leaner the motor gets

 

Have you checked your spark plugs?

How many miles on the car?

Have you replaced the distributor, pickup, coil or TFI Module?

What fuel pump are you using? Does it make alot of noise?

When was the last time you changed your fuel filter?

 

Have you checked the voltage on your battery? what about your alternator output? I'm w/ Tim, try backing your timing down some also.

 

The MAF you swapped in from another Ford...what vehicle did it come out of??

 

plugs are new, but the old ones were very light. 100xxx on the car. i havent touched the ignition. stock pump, whines just a little. just changed the fuel filter.

 

when you swapped your mass air meter, what did you swap? the housing or the black piece that bolts to the housing?

 

i swapped the housing. i dont know what vehical it was from, but my car just felt a bit more powerful after i put it on. that didnt cause my problem because the car did this before that.
