Occasional lagging acceleration

cadaml · June 22nd, 2011, 07:45 PM

I've got a 04 v6 mustang and here lately it will get sluggish after a stop/slow when trying to accelerate again. A couple times it would act like its about to die only allowing me to go about 3-5mph for a few seconds then eventually will "peel out" or w/e.

I got the fuel filter replaced and injectors cleaned a couple days ago thinking it would fix it but noticed the problem again today.

My question is, what would be my next step? Im thinking replacing the fuel pump but would like an opinion.

Thanks

I would suspect the fuel pump, but if you can check the pressure when its happening, it would help, how is the tune up items? (wires, plugs, etc.)
