Ok, so i have a 1998 mustang cobra, 85k miles on engine tranny, 172k on the body. When i get on it in any gear, it will bog down at around 3500 rpms. It just wont go anymore. iv already changed the spark plugs, wires, and fuel filter. i have also run octane boost and fuel injector cleaner through it. i cant seem to figure out what to replace next. Any suggestions??

Thank you!

 

Are the catalytic converters the original ones? They may be clogged after 172k miles. Here's a video on diagnosing cats:

 

yes, i just had a new set put on before i bought the car so it would pass inspection in my state and i took it to a local muffler shop just to make sure there wasnt anything holding back my airflow in my cats or mufflers.

 

if i accelerate slowly it will rev all the way to the rev limiter, but if i get on it at any rpm or gear it will bog down and not want to keep going past 3500 rpms.

 

The only things I can think of are low fuel pressure or dirty IMRCs. See these threads:

thanks, hopefully il try to get this done tomorrow, it certainly seems like an all day job for me.

 

I'm 99.99% sure you need to either clean or delete your IMRC's they are supposed to open @ 3250 rpms.

 

how do i delete them? is it faster than cleaning them?

IMO it would take roughly the same amount of time as cleaning them as you still have to take apart your intake.

 

Any codes?????
