problem!

rednek94GT · March 3rd, 2007, 11:02 PM

ok i have a problem, i got a 94 5.0 and it used to have a problem idling right and it doesn't do it so much anymore but now its gotten to where it can't spin the tires even if i hold the brake it has a very slow start off, does anyone know what is going on? is it the throttle sensor?

mine had similar issues and I replaced the mass airflow sensor. I got a remanufactured one for 45.00 at auto zone.It runs great now

sounds like MAF to me. I had the same issue but worse and it fixed it.

yeah i took it up to my friend and he said some kind of hose was loose so he hooked it back up, it sounds a lot better but it didn't help the performance much...its like it just lags along in 1st gear...but he said a good tune up should help?

I would try the MAF, if its messed up it will definatly make the car run differently!
