[96STANGVERT]

I have a 96 GT and when i accelerate in 2nd,3rd,4th, and 5th the engine seems to hesitate or bog down. This starts to occur at 2,000 rpm and when i reach about 3,000 rpm the problem seems to go away. Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this might happen?

How many miles are on it? What mods does it have? Have you EVER done ANY preventitive maintenance on it?

 

[96STANGVERT]

The car has 46,000 miles on it, and the only mods are a catback exhaust. I recently changed the spark plugs like 2,000 miles ago so they should be allright. I changed the oil 1,000 miles ago.

Did you put Bosch platinums in it? You may want to switch to Motorcraft AGSF-32C.

Also, it would not hurt to change the fuel filter.

You might also consider cleaning the MAF. Instructions for this can be found at www.bullittarchive.com
