Alright, I put the post up a few days ago on the 5.0 that misses, skips and doesn't respons only when floored or punched.

I changed all the plugs, wires, rotor & cap. No change.

Engine is running a little hot...Plugs were white.


Any ideas what I can try next to get this thing to respons to full throttle?

I had compression checked --All over 130

I had diagnositc test done - No problems.

Still, it is slower than the camry that wasn't even trying to race me today!

You name the problem that fixes it and I'll but you a part off ebay for your stang. Up to 100 bucks.

tps, unplug it and take it for a drive, cant wait for my new part.

jachunter

just unplugged the tps. it idled a lot worse when unplugged and actually stuttered and shut down worse when floored...

did you see my previous post that went into more detail?

thank for the try.

im desperate and will deliver on the promise

Have you pulled the codes to see if anything is stored? That's usually a good start. Might try cleaning your Mass Air Flow (MAF) and your Idle Air Control (IAC). If these aren't responding correctly it may be leaning out when you punch it.

I had a diagnositc run by a mechanic shop...>He said the only problem was the o2 sensor but that was because i have an hpipe that is cat free.

How would clean the maf and iac? do you mean clean off the connections and blow out the female end?

thanks 90gt

Just to recap it runs great except when you punch it...When you punch it, it feels like a 4 cylinder.

It revs however, like a champ (not in gear)

Since it is popping and lacking power under sudden acceleration under load but accelerates OK when not loaded, my thought is that it may be slightly fuel starved. Like if the IAC is open for Idle and doesn't close quick enough, or if the MAF response is just slow.

hey quick question is the stang auto or stick? if its auto does it kick down into passing gear when you hit it or does it just keep bogging? maybe its not kicking down

maybe the injectors are dirty. Try the fuel filter too.

jachunter

just changed the fuel filter...it was filthy...still no different...idle seems to be a little lower ( around 600 now )

i ran 93 octane and fuel injector cleaner through it on my first tank since i bought it.

getting ready to clean the maf and iac
