HELL NO Do not clean the TB with spray. It has a special coating on it and you will f'k it up...fr96ss said:clean the throttle body with the trottle body spray cleaner specifically clean the throttle blade..
Fuel filter change interval is 30k, so yeah it could be your problem.bham_gt said:This sounds like the exact same problem I am having. Let me know if cleaning the MAF fixes the problem. I don't think it would be my fuel filter because the car only has 26k miles. Please keep me updated!
Shiroelex said:Here's my experience with this problem. I have an 01 GT 5 speed, and my car would do very similar things. It turned out to be my cylinder 1 COP gone bad. Oddly ehough, it never set off the CEL. I would notice the misfire the most when I would try and make the car accelerate sharply while in 4th or 5th, at lower rpms. I had a friend that let me borrow a coil off of his car, and I was going to try it on each cylinder to find out which one it was. I was lucky; it turned out to be the first one I tried. Good luck!
tanion said:Well, cleaning the MAF sensor did not solve my problem. I cleaned the sensor with CRC electronic cleaner using a q-tip, let it dry,then reinstalled it . Just took the car out for a short ride and it still does the same pulsing/jolting at low rpm. Tried accelerating hard and still can feel the pulsing and the exhaust doesn't sound quite right. The fuel filter will be the next thing but it looks like the stang may have to go into the shop to solve this issue.
tanion said:If that were the problem wouldn't I feel it 100% of the time? Sometimes when I accelerate hard it feels normal. Other times I get these brief pulsies/jolts. I can always make it happen at low rpm (1000-1500) and it's definitely more harsh at low rpm. When this pulsing happens it does not affect the rpm level i.e the needle remains steady.
bham_gt said:Yeah, same here. If I get on the car hard, it acts normal. It only does it at low RPM's when I'm barely on the gas. Maybe it does have something to do with the torque converter. I've heard that suggested several times before.
GTron said:Ok, got mine fixed!!!
I was having very similar problems to the ones that you are describing. Got a new Xcal II with a custom tune, and problem solved!!!!!!!!!!
It was just all in my tune. Hope you guys have similar results.
