after the car warms up is when i begin to hear it more than ever but if i get on it pretty hard petal down or past about 3500rpms i hear a very loud winding noise or something like air blowing out alot and continues 2-3 seconds after i let off the gas. also this morning on my way to work in second gear i went to get on it and it like cut out and didnt supply any power and as soon as i let off and got back on it, it was just fine again...could this be related?

any ideas? thanks

intermitent prob is like looking for a needle in a hay stack...as for the air noise...check all your air injection components and tubes leading to air pump and to back of heads and down to the cats....and check power steering fluid level

alright yeah ill have to check all that stuff because its really loud and annoying everybody who rides in my car doesnt notice it because they think its just the engine but driving it everyday i deff. notice it so ill have to do some trouble shooting before i leave for the night. thanks tho

check to see if your heater controls work, you may have a vacuum line off causing the air noise you are hearing, and a vacuum leak will cause issues too.

alright ill have to check that out because it is really effecting my second gear and tonight crusing on the highway with my friend in his sti and i was in 4th gear doin about 105 and the car just stopped giving power like it had a limiter on it but then it came back after a few seconds and i could get it up past 130 again... soim baffled right now

yeah i plan on going to the track when it reopens during the summer. but back to the problem,i was talking to a guy at the local mustang shop around here and he said it could be that my fuel filter is old and i wouldnt be getting enough fuel? would that cause it to just lose all power?
