i jus picked up a 87 mustang gt and it was running not so great .....hen i ingaged ther clutch it would not accerate and i had to rev the engine to accleratete....when i engaged the clutch normally it would do alot of jerking and/not respond...........when it idled iy wound jump around a liltlte then die but start right back up .......after about 10- 15 mmins of driving the engine died and now it will not start



i think it may bet athe injector o rings .....,fuel filter or pump if not the fuel regulator


87 mustang gt fuel injected 5 speed/manuel


anyone think they can help me out

thanx

try replacing the fuel filter and run fuel system cleaner in your next tank.

your ignition could probably also use a tune-up.

correct me if im wrong but from what i understang your saying when you release the clutch pedal the car is not moving? when you push the gas pedal its starts to move, sounds like the clutch is badly slipping, please take your time typing so we can clearly understand what your saying and help you out,

when i engage the clutch into gear it works fine but the engine dosn't respond when i hit the gas or it starts to jerk the whole time .....its when i engage the clutch that it dosn't do any thing unless i rev the engine and get the rpm up and then engage then i responds ands accelerates rpms

the clutch it pretty good it lost traction a few times and clutch dosnt seem to be slipping

Yes it would mean the Cats most likely. I'm not sure if it applied to 87'sbut back in the early 90's there was a recall issued on my 88 that involved melting catylist melting. My stock exhaust was replaced from the back of the headers to the midway flange. Now I'm sure the recall wouldn't still be valid but you may want to check if was preformed on your car and if not you may have your problem.(Mine did have plugged cats and ran just as you descirbed).

cool i'am going to try to replace the fuel filter and remove the cats to see if it starts.......


dose the 87 gt models have more than 1 fuel filter or just the 1 located right outside the tank

Only has one. right out side the tank.

nice ...ill see what the results
