1993 mustang 2.3l dying when i push in the clutch

93stangfutr5.0 · 07-12-2008

ok today when driving home coming up a hill i was a 3000rpms and shifted to 3rd then my car started acting funky when i push in the clutch and the car dies and when i let the clutch out it starts back up apparently but when at any rpm the engine jumps between rpms at 2500 it jumps from 2000 to 3000 and i have a loud spark nock what could the problem be a freind said bad gas im thinking maybe coil what is your guys opinion?

Is it acting like running out of gas? In other words cutting out when giving gas? If so change fuel filter. Also Fords of this era is bad for the TFI on the side of distributor going bad [engine dies] and able to restart. You did not mention year of car. The tfi on the ones before distributorless ignition. I understand coil packs on them go bad. I think a sign on then going back is tach acts up. Hope this helps.

did you read the thread heading its a 93 it isnt dying when i give it gas only when i push the clutch in the tach jumps when i give it gas it has no problems starting from a stand still doubt it is the tfi have distributorless also was told gas latly has been bad quality so i bought octane booster and a fuel filter already will put them in tomorrow.

ok i replaced the fuel filter was disgusting but still the same prob i can hear it back firing and some times like a loud sucking pop in the engine bay. any ideas im thinking timing it isnt a blown motor ran fine for about 5 mins then actied up again.

i rearead that post and it sounded really snotty didnt mean it to be sorry.

anyway i have some new info i checked my spark plugs which i just replaced less than 100miles ago and cyl1,2, and 3 all looked like they had 6000miles on them my 4 cyl looked like it should almost brand new so this tells me that cyls 1,2, and 3 are running way to rich so what could be causing this dumping of fuel in three cyls and not the forth cloged injectors?

ok it isnt injectors it supposedly is the coil packs when they get hot they stop working supposedly which makes my car die pour some water on them and cool them down and the car will fire right back up do guys think this to be truthful.
