This is nuthin major, but i have a 97 stang with exhaust and cai. Whenever i'm going up a hill, if the throttle is in the right spot my car starts to slightly shudder. It's like the transmission is in too high of a gear when i'm going up the hill so it's like the engine is struggling going up the hill. Could anyone help me out here? Thanks

 

check the iac

 

I'm kind of a newbie so would u explain what that is and how i might go about checking it? I would appreciate it.

 

if ur an aod, u can turn off ur overdrive if this happen and u will drop down to 3rd most likely and will have increased pull up the hill

 

? i doubt that has much to do w/ him goin up a hill.

 

always good to check it though

 

Might have something to do with your fuel supply. Try flushing the fuel injectors.

 

the fuel could be a reason, if u have low fuel it could be not pumping as much, i was runnin a little low one night and it had just got cold and up hills my car would stall cause of condensation in the fuel system from the temperature change but if nothin is wrong then turnin off the od will get u up it in a hurry

 

That happened to my old car. I ignored it and ended up destroying a good part of my fuel system (don't remember what exactly, it was a while ago). Needless to say, get it checked out, don't spend over $1000 to fix it like I did.

 

it happend to me like a month ago and it has been fine i just filled up with good gas, added some lucas and went with it, no probs ever since
