Guest tbutera2112 Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 sometimes coming from a stop, the car hesitates really bad...if you keep the gas down it finally picks up...and it doesnt always do it... feels like its not getting enough fuel or something from a stop sometimes... my gf has to start driving this car, and i dont want her hit pulling out of somewhere, so im going to try and get it going ok....its been neglected anyways and needs some TLC.... anyone know what may cause this fuel problem? heres a list of everything i plan to do plugs wires air filter fuel filter oil injector cleaner anything im missing? car has under 100k miles and seems to run alright aside from this issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twistedfocus1647545489 Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 You might want to include a fuel pump at the end of the list. Fairly common issue with some age/miles on Mustangs, I would assume it's a similar pump (if not the same) on the early Tbird/Cougar platform.

Guest Removed Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 like i said..i dont think there is a air filter in it...check that, then pull the maf and clean it. #1 reason why these have driveability issue's.= dirty maf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairly common issue with some age/miles on Mustangs, I would assume it's a similar pump (if not the same) on the early Tbird/Cougar platform. changing the fuel filter and checking pressure goes along with checking the basic's... and normally, i would say that. but the #1 reason why fuel pumps fail is cause people run the damn tanks to fucking low, get the pump hot, then splash cold fuel on them cause the barely got to the gas station.

Fairly common issue with some age/miles on Mustangs, I would assume it's a similar pump (if not the same) on the early Tbird/Cougar platform. when my pump went out, it did it while cruising not just from stops...ill try the other stuff first, and fuel pump will be the last resort type thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
