ok, so i just did a aod to t-5 swap and let me tell u that i wish i had a t-5 in the first place. anyway, i used to hear popping with the aod and i thought it was the tranmission but it still hesitates and pops with the t-5 so i asked my friend/mechanic what it is and he said its misfire from running too lean. So i replaced the MAF sensor and that hasnt cured the problem. i also found out my exhaust towards the back was rubbing against the fuel line and i actually had to replace that and that made it run better. BUT like i said, it still pops and hesitates. Any other ideas? what can i do? thanks a lot guys!
