I have a problem. My Mustang wont run after i take off. heres the details:
I have a Performance Products Upper and lower intake, Wyndsor heads, 1.6 RR, comp cam 155/165 lift extreme energy, 70mm TB, 24Lb injectors, 255 lph bbk fuel pump, 70mm maf, Longtube headers, and maybe a few other items. heres the problem:
I start the car and it idles fine. take off in the car and runs great for about two minutes, after about two minutes as soon as I hit the gas pedal, it bogs out like its starving for fuel. I need help. Everything on the car is new. Anyone have any ideas?
This car idles and revs all day long, but as soon as the car is in motion, the problem arises.

Check your wiring connecter at the MAF, possibly loose wires that move when the car hits a bump or a bent pin that is only intermittent. Any check engine light?

bump the timing up. thats what happened in my car, it owuld idle and rev, but as soon as i went to take off it would bog down and die. I bumped the timing up and problem solved, and gas a little more before you go.

Dump the codes and see what the computer says is wrong…

Here's the link to dump the computer codes with only a jumper wire or paper clip and the check engine light, or test light or voltmeter. I’ve used it for years, and it works great.

See http://www.troublecodes.net/Ford/
OR
See http://www.dalidesign.com/hbook/eectest.html for more descriptive help
