engine problems???

[94svtcobra]

This happens from cold and rolling starts. When I put the pedal to the floor my engine misses. I thought it was water in the gas, but I put some dry gas, fuel injector cleaner, and octane booster/fuel cleaner in the past few times I've filled up.

any suggestions????

thanks in advance -Mike

how built is your car?? i have seen alot of those have like a miss when the gas is slammed, i think if you bump the timing it will help..

It's a stock engine with typical bolt on's and advanced timing

94svtcobra.. Whats your timing at? you may be detonating... Also have you checked your harmonic balancer? I remember when my started to feel like that i went to put it in time and my balancer was out a lil bit and got a new one and it fixed everythign and ran like a champ.

I'm not sure wat it's at the guy who owned the car before me installed the plugs and wires distributer cap, and also did the timing

Do yourself a favor and before you buy another part for it, take the MAF off the car and CAREFULLY clean the MAF sample wires with a Q tip and either alcohol or carb cleaner. Be very gentle when doing this and don't break the wires. Do both sides of the wire (front and back). This will cure a MULTITUDE of problems associated with 94-95 cars. Do this and let me know if it fixes it, I bet it will help a LOT!

thanks I'll try that

[94svtcobra]

I was thinking about somethin like that because it almost seems like its puttin to much gas into the engine

You should use non-chlorinated brake cleaner, it doesn't leave any residue behind like carb cleaner. Carb cleaner usually has some type of lubricant in it.

what about rubbing alcohol
