got the check engine light come on in the mustang, my fiance was driving her car home and it came on just as she started the car. Told her to pull over and turn the car off for 10 sec and start it back up. no change. she got home, I checked it out and here is what I noticed.when you start the car the light comes on and stays on, the car runs fine about 4 seconds into the car running it drops down in idle then goes back up to normal.
now when I gave it a quick blip of the throttle it hesitates for 1/2 second and then revs up, almost like its about to bog down. then revs fine all the way through.
I put it in gear and push on the brake, with load on the engine it does the same thing a 1/2 second just a little more noticble than in park.
So I take it for a spin around the parking lot and go slow stopping every 20 feet. I feel it bog down for the 1/2 second then rev up or slightly surge like the gas finally was getting into the engine.
akay so I give it gas slowly and it revs fine, same in gear drives fine if I give it smooth even throttle.
but the min. I blip the gas pedal it will bog down for a 1/2 a second every time then go with a little more of a surge.
any ideas??? I checked what I could see at night which was not much. and could still go check it out tommorow.
thanks
) it should be straight forward. Otherwise, the back of the Haynes book should have a list of codes. Take it back to autozone and write down the codes it gives. If you can't figure out what they mean, post them up.
