98 mustang GT is stumbling

kris bassett · 05-14-2006

Hello I have a 98 gt 5 speed and I have noticed a quick stumble in the engine while I am driving at a steady speed mostly at slower speeds like 25-35. I was just wondering if anyone could help me?
Thanks
Kris

There are several things it could be. Anything from a clutch-slippage issue to a coolant in the combustion chamber issue. Can you describe in more detail what happens?

The engine just hesitates for a split second then comes back up. The clutch feels real good and it doesn't use any coolant. I was wondering if it could be ignition maybe time to replace the plug wires? I replaced the plugs about 2 months ago but used the orig wires

It could be a dirty MAS or air filter. If those get dirty they start reading wrong and can cause all sorts of problems. It try cleaning it and restarting the computer by disconnecting your battery for 15 min.

What's the best way to clean them? I know they are delicate!
