Hey guys new to the forum, wasn't able to find anyone post having the same issues so thought id try a thread of my own.
Car is a 95 GT 5.0 5 speed, bought already modded so kinda unsure whats all done. Motors mystery mileage, PO says rebuilt but i beg to differ. Anywho mods i can tell are; Streetfire coil, BBK long tubes, BBK midpipe catted, muffler delete, BBK intake and maf sensor, BBK throttle body (70mm i believe) Edelbrock intake elbow to Explorer upper intake (lower and injectors too i think?) and i think it has a small cam in it likely the E303 or B303 would be my guess.
So heres my problems:
Car starts and idles great cold. Once it is up to operating temperatures when it is shut off and turned back on within a hour of being off it starts (sometimes turns over quite a bit) but will idle for a couple seconds then die, but will stay running if i hold the rpms at like 1200. My guess is an igniton or timing issue based on the little knowledge of whos touched the car but if anyone can point me in the right direction id appreciate it!
Second, noticed it first on highway on ramps but then got bad at the roadcourse. Car will stutter and fall on its face like its running out of fuel when cornering, but has like 2/3 of a tank. I know it has a carbed foxbody fuel tank in it but part numbers were the same so thought it wouldn't be an issue. Has anyone else had this issue? any way to fix other then go with a fuel cell?
Thanks guys!
