I have a 95 GT with mods in sig. It is an AODE which could be some of the problem.

Anyways sometimes I can jump in the car and drive right away. Doesn't even try to die, stumble or anything. Then sometimes It will stall 2-3 times before I get can it out the driveway.

I just bought a new MSD cap/rotor it may help but I don't think its the problem.

I have a pretty lumpy idle because of the cam. Anything from 1000rpm-up drives very smooth and the engine doesn't shake at all.

Another thing I thought is strange is when its running good the car idles rough but the RPM's do not move. Which I assume is the cam. But when its acting up it will fluctuate.

I was thinking about trying a new ignition module just to see if it helps. It acts up more often when its been driven awhile BUT it does it sometimes when its cold.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

You've probably already checked your IAC and other sensors. Wish I could suggest something else. Are you throwing any codes??

Nope not throwing any codes. I haven't checked the IAC or TPS or anything yet.

I pulled my MAF the other day but I wasn't sure what "cleaning" it involved so I wiped off the screen and reinstalled it.

My dad owned the car for 4-5 years. It has had all kinds of crazy problems and never thrown 1 single code. I have hooked it to a scanner multiple times and its never thrown one.

About the only thing that has been done since the motor swap a couple years ago was a 155lph carter pump, new mufflers, wires and plugs. The cap adapter is cracked so I ordered a new one. Gonna swap it and the new cap tomorrow.

Next day I have off work I need to pull my lower intake off to fix the oil leak. I think my dad reused the upper intake gasket when he changed the valve cover gaskets. So its possible I have a vac. leak somewhere.

Sorry for the long posts. Probably gonna be hard for anyone to recommend anything whenever I already have so many ideas.

I had the same problem for a while.......AODE as well......check that IAC....what is your idle set at?...I have the stage 1 TFS and the IAC would not keep up with quick R/ D switch's......also check your MAF and make sure it is at the 12 o'clock position....these are the 2 things that caused my problem......best of luck to you
