cougar problems!!

number1gt · December 23rd, 2011, 11:59 AM

Okay my girlfriend has a 2001 cougar and it sputters really bad when she goes around turns and it only does it every so often and it doesn't have any balls like it doesn't want to move

Edit: it stalled today and took it about 5 minutes and to start back up, I noticed it usually happens around a quarter tank, but it couldn't be out of gas because we drove it another 15 miles

Is your girlfriend a cougar?

Is the gas gauge working? does it have gas in it? When was the last time the fuel filter was changed?

It had to of had gas because it started up and drove another 15 miles, I don't know when its been changed but I wanted to change it, im just curious as to why it does it, but no I wish she was a cougar lol

I 2nd the fuel filter idea. And have her pick up a can of seafoam from auto zone or w/e and dump it in the gas tank next time she tanks up, do use a funnel. Just be sure to tell her to wait till the tank is nearly empty after adding seafoam before getting more gas, it's not good to leave that stuff in your car's system for long.
