thorne Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 My wife's car has a slight hesitation when she takes off, I drove it this weekend to get some tires put on. I noticed that it was Lagged? I've ran injector cleaner through it and noticed no diffrenace. 90000K on the ODO The airfilter has been changed Oil is fresh idea or help appreicated. She was just asking me if i could make it faster. Other then a engine swap which im not qualified to do ( mustang failure tell me so) I don't know if a CAI / Exhaust would make a diffrence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

351mach11647545510 Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 tps maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistedfocus1647545489 Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 I would look at the TPS if it's mostly hesitation from takeoff. TPSs work alot like old post style radio knobs, and just like them when they get old they can get dead spots or "noise" and need replaced. Also, just like radio knobs going bad where they are most used... TPSs tend to have issues with the first part of the travel since it is the part most used. You can hook an analog (dial, not a digital) voltmeter too it and watch it sweep as you open the throttle slowly. If it jumps or hesitates in a certain spot, replace the TPS. Edit: See above - My long winded responses take a long time to post . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buck531 Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Do it again this year . I go through a set of autolite wires once a year. I change my plugs every 3-4 months (maybe more). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorne Posted September 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Does anyone have the tool to pull the motor forwardÉ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bam Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 Take the bolt out of the dogbones and pull that bitch forward with your hand, then shove the bolt back in to hold it forward, I could do it myself on the gtp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
