Fuel System??? - 4/22/2003 12:06:19 PM    5ptOzdrivenonly   Posts: 8 Joined: 4/22/2003 From: United States Status: offline Hello All, I currently have a 1995 mustang gt with 97000 miles on it. No major upgrades except for an off road h-pipe and flowmasters. I'm having some problems with it and before I take it to the mechanic I'd like to get some advice if anyone has experienced this type of problem. Basically, my car is running more like a 6 cylinder instead of an 8. There are times when I take off when I'm at a red light and the car starts to buck even if I have the gas floored. This doesn't just happen when I'm in first gear either. Usually between the first - third gear the car begins to buck. I know my car is getting old but there is a noticable loss of power. One of my friends seems to think its the fuel system. Is this true? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks! Post #: 1

Also, I have another question. My Check Engine light flashes every once and a while and when i get going on the highway all of a sudden goes away. When I took it to the mechanic he had put it on the computer to see if any codes come up but nothing. Have you heard of anything like this before? I read a post where they had said it could be the O2 sensors, what do you think? (in reply to 5ptOzdrivenonly) Post #: 4
