I have a 88 5.0 speed density car. It has had a miss or hesitation for over a month. It is getting worse and my gas milage went down 50miles and I can smell gas like it is running rich sometimes. It used to miss just sometimes but now it is frequent. If you are driving the car at normal speeds you can feel it start to miss then you get into the gas and the car bogs likes its not geting fuel(but the fuel pres gauge don't drop neither does the RPMS) then when its gets to about 4500rpms it cuts loose like it has a power band. Now if you are slowing down with your foot off the gas you can also feel the car hesitating.
Here is what I have done-checked TPS,TFI,MAP,O2's,IAC. I have changed the dist.,cap,rotor,coil,plugs,wires,rotor,ACT sensor. Took it to a garage and they checked for vac leaks and they changed the fuel filter, and its still doing it and its getting worse. I disconected the MSD box and it still does it. I scaned for codes and it has none. The Fuel pres reg is only a year old as is the fuel pump.
If you run it hard like you are racing it it runs great.The pedal feels like it has a dead spot until it gets to a certain RPM then it takes off. No mechanics want to work on it and Im tires of just changing parts for no reason.
Someone had to have had this prob. please help, or tell me where to take it,(southwest PA) Thanks
