I pulled the tank b4 I started the car and emptied the old gas, about 6 gallons, and replaced the fuel filter as well. As far as a burnt valve or something internal, after the slight hasitation it pulls like crazy. Lots of power. And cjs pony parts is like heaven for a mustang owner. The show was great. There are pics on recent threads. I am in NE PA.

creekrat

lots of sweet cars! quite a few guys from the forum were there!

If it pulls hard after the fact most likely tune up related as loss of compression or burnt valves won't usually cure themselves

mrj...saw your 85. great car. creekrat...did you have your car there and was that your white convertible doing that fine burnout out on the hwy? And yes...tune up tomorrow.

Thanks!!! 8 years of hard work.like you, I too pulled mine out of some guys backyard.... it was completely over grown with weeds and bees nests. got it for 250.00 hate to add up the recipts now lol

Yeah, the car was in a field over grown with weeds growing into the car. Bees nests up the ***, and to top it off. Its a t-top and the drivers side top was stolen letting the weather in. The seats were stolen the radiator was stolen the wheels were stolen. I figured it would become a parts car after sitting out for so long, butonce I got it home and on the lift I found a car that was in really great condition. I've put a minimal amount of $ in it to this point and aside from the 3rd gear trouble its looking good.

I have the same exact problem with my 88 GT. I pull mine out of the woods too. I did everything mentioned in this post to fix the problem. No fix. However, recently I tested my TPS and found it bad. I havent got the chance to replace it yet, so I dont know if that'll fix my problem or not, but there's something you might want to look at.
