Ok, I have a 95 GT, stock except for..


MSD Coil
ACCEL wires
MSD cap and rotor.



every once in a while, while riding down the road, the car will die like I reached up and turned the key off. It only lasts for about a full second, then its fine again. ???? anyone know what could be up?



And, after it sits for a while... could be hot or cold.. like overnight or 15 mins... the car acts up. its like its firing on all 8s, but it revs REALLY slow. if you pin it to the floor, it takes off. and the car bucks and jumps. ??? any ideas?


thanks in advance fellas.

When's the last time you replaced your plugs and your fuel filter? Any water in the engine bay?

 

[95SLOW5.0]

it sounds to me like a bad dizzy or ignition module....also like stated above when was the last time u tuned it up?

 

[duff daddy]

this hsould be moved to 5.0 tech insted of garage... and personally id get some stock ignition parts then go from there.

 

[Hoseitdown]

it had stock parts and was still actin up.

ill change dizzy and module.

fuel filter, plugs, wires, cap and rotor all within the last 2,000 miles.

and no water in engine bay.

[Hoseitdown]

will should check your tps. A TPS out of adjustment is a hessitation in acceleration, and/or a coughing at full accleration.
For it to turn off... like it actually shut off? Or it felt as if it did? there is a bundle of 4 wires that sometimes get smoked on the drivers side from header heat. Check to ensure those are still together. had a customers truck last week that smoked her entire bundle.

oh also do the seafoam treatment to it. aka throttle body cleaner treatment. do the 10 minute tune up. car was fully stock when i got it in cali. have my fox at 15 degrees of timing.

 

[Hoseitdown]

yea, timing was CRAZY high on this thing. like 22* or so.

its on 14 now.


used to spark knock like a Beyatch.

My wife's '08 Escape exibited these symptoms. Being under warranty, it went to Ford. MAF sensor went down. Replaced "free of charge".

will sup with the diagnosis? Check out the ignition module too. may spend the 100 bucks on a 6al (used'ish).
