Got a Problem, HELP!!!
 
Hey guys, i have been in the process of moving so i have been without power since the 12th. While i had this downtime i put an ACT sensor on my 86 GT and also put on the K&N Filtercharger set up, if you remember my car was cutting out and acting up so i was told to replace the ACT,

I have put on new plugs, wires, coil, ACT sensor, K&N Filtercharger and my car when accelerating still at times feels like it hits a wall, i hit the gas and it accelerates but feels like it is blocked and then it clears up and i can feel it pick up speed.
What could this be? I am so frustrated now, a woman backed into my Stang at the local Wal-Mart she hit my rear drivers side, but my car was acting like this before that happened.

I have been thinking about purchasing a new computer for my car and the local Ford dealer says it will run me $215 or so and swap them out. I need some advice, my budget is next to nothing i am selling stuff just to get what i have. Could it be a bad computer?

might be 02 sensors? might be the BAP(map depending on maf or SD) might be Air Temp Sensor, could be alot of things alot of cars i have riden in have a "powerband feel" like its slugish for a moment then turns on so to speak.. is the car still speed density or maf?

My car is still Speed Density, i am gonna switch to mass air after i get my headers and pipe, then after the conversion i am definatley going to purchase the HolleySysteMax Package.

I drove my car yesterday and it did'nt act up any, but it was a quick run to the store and back.

How much would an Air Temp Sensor run me?

maybe around 50 bucks.. or so try this run a whole bottle of Octane boost w/ about 7 gallons of gas I use the one with dale Jr on the bottle.. see if that helps it, or try injector cleaner. mix it real strong you wont hurt anything..

Have you checked the computer for codes?

Umoplata 01-02-2002 02:22 PM

Ok i will pump some Premium(93) gas into her and pour a bottle of booster in it. What about some injector cleaner at the same time or should i do it seperate?

No i have not put the Stang on a scanner, i guess that would help. I have to run to work now and i will check back in the morning. Thanx
