Losing Power

Mustang_chic · Jan 4, 2004

Is there a such thing as losing power in a gear? Last night I noticed that when I dropped it to 2nd gear at a normal to high mph, it was acting like I had put it in 4th at a really low mph and had no power at all. Am I crazy or can this happen? What would cause it? Could it be transmission related? Help!!!!!!!

Thanks in advance!

Nope, it's been replaced in the past 2 months. It was really weird. I was driving like 15-20mph and shifted to 2nd gear and that's when it bogged down and acted as if I had put it in 4th instead. It did it later on too.

maybe the rpms were too high and the fuel cut on you

You might need a tune up. When i needed new wires for the stang i would drop it, it would scream then bogged<go now where>. I did a full tune up and the thing was up like a prom dress.

Well...it's early on a Monday morning and the leg humpers have to get their weekly quota in

BTW...maybe plugs or wires. Maybe a fuel filter? Has that been changed lately?

It's a 2000, it's doesn't have wires. However, it does have 75,000 miles on it with the original plugs. I'm going to do that this week. The fuel filter was done about 2 months ago.

Take a look at how high your rpms are next time it happens.

O its a 2000 durrr opps. Whos to say maybe she has a 96-98 mustang with a 2000 2v but shes using the 96 computer. So in a since she would have to use 2 coil pacs and wires to get the car running on all 8. My 99 4v wasn't coil on plug. LOL Ok but seriously check your plugs and coils out. At 75k you should change your plugs though.

NFCStang i love that avatar. Everytime i see one of those damn things I imagine flooring it and it saying "whoa". LOL

Off-Topic - I used to have a pic with a B-1 bomber passing one and it reading like 900 MPH. It was over the beach in Biloxi and water was spraying up. Pretty cool...it's good to have friends that are good with Photoshop
