Default 2003 Cobra problems

Im having trouble with my 03 cobra. At idle its dumping a ton of fuel all I smell is the fuel, and under load at about 3000 rpm the car spits and sputters until about 4000 rpm. MAF??? It has basic bolt on upgrades nothing major.

yes the upper pulley is done, its been on a dyno but the programer is no longer on the car. so I assume its running at its factory settings

if you assume its running on factory settings i would baby it to a tuner asap and get a tune. its much cheaper to get a tune than buy a new motor!

I see your in IL, take you car to either Kurgan Motorsports or SuttonHP and get that thing tuned. Untill then stay out of boost!
