I step on the gas and it goes for a bit then just acts slow. also, the rpms fluctuate between 250-1250 when I push in the clutch stopping at a light.

any ideas or suggestions?

buy a V8



all kidding aside... a mod list would help

have you checked anything?

when was the last time the fuel filter was changed?

Your missing 2 cylinders...

Like stated above change your fuel filter. When you did your tune up did you gap the plugs to spec?

but it seems to run fine at night. would this be a MAF issue if a temp change could cause this!

Does it happen when you doing mad tight drifting? Or more of a strait line gt smack down type of driving?

if its an 05 or 06 i'd check to see if the fuel pump tsb was performed. pull the bottom of the rear seat, the rubber stopper on the driver side and see if the fuel pump is an 07 or later. its printed on the label. it not, you should buy a motorcraft pfs376 fuel pump from amazon(cheapest) and install it.

not a recall, just a tech service bulletin. if someone brought it in under warrenty, they would fix it free. if out of warrenty, owner must pay. it took me about 20 minutes to change mine out and i had never done it. you only need a screwdriver or drift and something to hit it with to remove the locking ring.

i did. i opened both up and they had the same walbro 155 pump in them, so i think it has something to do either with the filter or the fuel lines in the hat.
