Hey Guys, Had a strange occurance in my Cobra last night. I go to take off, after idling in a drivethrough for a few minutes, and when I take off it takes off as if the ebrake's still on which was never engauged in the 1st place. After thinking about it, it may have been bogged down with fuel. I only can explain that it felt like a Combonation of an engauged E-Brake, A Fuel Bog, and A slipping clutch all at once. That may not make sense but it's exactly how it felt. A few minutes after it took off things seemed to return to normal. Any ideas on what may have caused that situation? Done it 1 other time too, so it's not consistant. Also busted off a 15.0 at the track the other night with a low mph so I'm hoping the problems are related. Let me know what you think it could be...Thanks!

-Nik

Something else I remembered...There seems to be a lot more raw fuel on my rear bumper. I know I'm not running cats but it's never been this bad.

Check your plugs to see if they are fouled. If you are seeing gas at the back, then more than likely your plugs are soaked in gas indicating a plug may have gone bad. We'll definetly need more info so we can take some better guesses at your problem.

Check plug wires for burns too. How much fuel pressure you running?

Oh, and maybe check for codes? Might give you a quick answer on running rich or not????
