Here is my solution for this problem. The car would sputter violently when pressing hard on the gas pedal or when driving on a steep uphill. I changed everything I could, TB, gas filter, gas pump, plugs, coils, cleaned the injectors, changed the MAF and what else I don't even remember. All that...

So was curious to know the opinion of anyone out there with 4 speed manual transmissions and the gears they are running pos/neg.. I have a 302, 4 speed toploader(wide ratio), 8 inch rear with 3.0 gears.. I knew after building the car that I was fine with an 8 inch rear, but not the 3.0 gears...

So I posted on here about a month ago about my 1968 Mustang with a rebuilt 302 in it. I've rebuilt the carb twice. New distributor, new pertronix ignitor (my problem was still there with the points) new cap and rotor. Already did a compression test. Did the spraying around the intake for...

So last week I put my Mustang (has a '73 rebuilt and bored 302 in it) on my car dolly to take it to the alignment shop after I replaced the whole front end and to pick up my plates on the way home. I pulled it up behind the shop, and started it and drove it around the building up to the lift...

I am looking to replace the clutch in my car in the next 1k-5k miles. It is a 08 Bullitt, with the added power and 3.73 gears over the gt (I know not a lot). Here is the question. Will a stage 1 clutch really make a difference on acceleration? I do not plan on making any horse power mods soon...

My 2002 mustang GT, 105k miles, has been kicking back and forth when idling or at cruising speeds. It happens spontaneously and its not very drastic either. It all started about 4 days ago when I did a couple of hard accelerations (4000rpm). I have had this car for about 4 months and very...

THE DEFINITION OF ACCELERATION One top fuel dragster 500 cubic inch Hemi engine makes more horsepower than the first 4 rows of stock cars at the Daytona 500. It takes just 15/100ths of a second for all 6,000+ horsepower of an NHRA Top Fuel dragster engine to reach the...

Hi all, I have a Mustang GT, 4.6 L engine, produced in 2010. I noticed that the rear end slides right on hard acceleration. Clearly, it happens on slippery surfaces (snow, ice or wet), but I believe to feel the same tendency on dry surfaces as well. Is it from the extra wight of the...

Hello all! I'm new to this forum and would like some of your wisdom. I have a 2001 3.8l 5spd. I recently had it in the shop due to a loss of power and one of my cylinders going dead in heavy rain. The day this happened I was driving in the rain and I can tell I'm dragging a cylinder. Not a new...

When driving my 2011 V6 3.7L Mustang on the interstate, there are many times I want to accelerate slightly (say 5 miles per hour) while making a lane change. I am having the problem that I will slightly depress the accelerator (while at 60 to 65 mph) and get NO response. I press a little more -...

I have a 2000 Mustang GT with a manual tranny and 143,000 miles. I just got back from a weeks vacation on sunday and when I went to drive my car, I noticed a pretty heavy "surging" or "miss" when under acceleration right at 1800-2400 RPM. (it jerks me back and forth a little). Usually when under...
