Hey folks, its me again with another problem on the 87 5.0. Getting a lot of hesitation in mainly first and second gear. This only seems to happen when i am getting into the throttle a bit more than I should (God help me for wanting to have some fun with her). Tried the timing and Cleaning out the throttle body (not removing it but just cleaning it form the air intake). The plugs are new but cheap. Please help me get her back to her original glory.

Need more information than that.

 

yeah like 67mustang said... need more info.. does it do it just under a load?

 

I notice it under load when getting into the throttle pretty good, but she still has kind of jerkyness when cruising at normal speed. Basically its most noticable when I am getting into the gas off of a stoplight embarrassing some rice burner. I'm in the military and there are a lot of "Fast and Furious" kids living both on and off base.

Thanks

Are your spark plug wires good? I had pretty much the same problem i checked my plug wires and the headers were buring two of them changed back to cheap stock wires and it ran fine again good luck.
