Help: Sputtering and gargling

95KBGT · Aug 23, 2006

it doesnt do it at idle, but when i go gently thru 1st then punch it thru 2nd and 3rd there is a big hesitation all thru the rpm range, and gargling comming from the exhaust almost like it wants to die. any ideas? fouled spark plug?

Sounds like a spark issue, plugs, or possibly a burnt/cracked wire, dirty cap/rotor? When was the last time you did a tune up on it? Id suggest new wires, plugs, cap/rotor.

i agree with matt sounds like its misfiring to me do a good tuneup and take it from there

have you put in new plugs since you got it? Does the KB you have require a certain kind of plug, maybe it does and they were not installed when the former owners put the blower on. :dunno:

well they are autolite 23's and no i havent replaced any of them, they have only been on the car for 2 years max with the blower...

Id do a full tune up man for sure. Plugs, Wires, Cap/Rotor, Fuel Filter.

+1 might I suggest the Iridium Plugs, at least a 9mm wire (ford racing makes an excellent set for the money). Since I put mine on the car fires right up bro. Before I had the +4 bosch's I know alot of people use platnium but my motor hated it.
