I have the same problem only in the second thirth fourth and fifth gear above the 4000 rpm. I have put in a new fuel filter, cause this was black as hell. I added fuelcleaner but still problem excist…

Do you have the problem fixed?? or can anyone send me in te right direction?

Neil:
I have a 2005, 4.0L, auto trans. My check engine lamp had been popping on & off for the last few months, although the car seem to be running fine. Finally got it into a dealer when the lamp was on, and they were able to diagnose that the Mass Air Flow Sensor was fouled slightly with oil, supposedly from my after market K&N air filter, (I find that a little hard to believe, but…)

Anyway, for something quick & inexpensive to try, you might want to clean off your air flow sensor and see what that does. You can get a can of sensor cleaner at about any autoparts store for $6 or $7 and it doesn’t look that difficult to do.

Good Luck…

I have a 2007 V6 SOHC Stang coupe..Upon acceleration at aprox. 55-60 mph, especially uphill I here a rattling noise. Ive been told its caused by lower octane fuel, however, I have used higher octane fuel and/or Lucas to remedy and still have this problem. Also sometimes I hear a “popping” type sound for a second when first applying foot on gas pedal…???

I have a 2005, 4.6L, manual tranny. The service engine soon light came on last Saturday. The light went off on Wednesday. I borrowed a fellow enthusiats OBD-II code reader the day after it went out and it did not show any codes. Since it came on and even after it went off, there has been a hesitation once in a while upon acceleration in first or second gear. There has also been a few times where I will be cruising at a constant speed and there be a small automatic surge in acceleration. Any thoughts?

We have 2006 Mustang GT and have had a consistent cold start grinding noise immediatly after starting, lasting 1-3 seconds. We had it into the dealer several times and left it over several nights. They could hear it on several occasions but could not diagnose it. Any hints as to what it might be. Just recently it has gotten worse.
Thank you,
Ron
