It wont be any of your sensors then. They would trigger a light. I would say fuel pump or fuel filter. Get a fuel pressure gauge and test that. A filter is easy to change. If it was your TPS, it would send a code for low voltage or high voltage. I, like colin, would lean toward a fuel delivery issue.

Good idea. I must ask, is the bulb in the dash for the CEL? Does it come on when you turn the key on and then go off when you start it up?

what would happen if you put in a larger pump and stock 19# injectors?

also i noticed my volt gauge seemed to be running low on the way home. i did have the radio,wipers,lights on....and its the stock 75a so maybe its normal...i turned the lights/wipers off and it climbed back up some. so i think thats normal...

i been thinking fuel anywyas.

**blkp42e** · 04-26-2007, 08:33 PM

big no-no /advance = JUNK!!!

i always went with the 190 from lmm.. always did me good

LMM will work or even summit. I typicaly call Summit and haggle (they can see what I have purchased in the past

) Stay away from the big parts vendors that crap doesnt work - tried it before. Dont worry about going big, the system has a return, you will not run rich or anything like that. Differnt that a carb set up!

Go for a 190. It isnt that hard, the 1st time it kind of sucks.

i dont have a jack...all mine were too high for the stang.

my dad is thinking its not a fuel pump. said cuz normally the either work or they dont. no in between.

**wick** · 04-26-2007, 11:04 PM

Its a pump. They go bad. Coral can tell you. He has the worst luck. Perhaps he and I can take a trip on Saturday. He is a whiz at doing them.

I agree with jared dad bad or good in most cases check your fuel pressure before you buy anything.sounds to me like a bad plug wire. Maybe one got burt on the header.
