Okay, here's the deal... (1990 5-speed SC)
-Stock with mild exhaust mods done between stock manifolds and stock gas tank pipe.
Sitting still, idles fine, but when you punch the pedal to the floor quickly from idle, the car stalls out completely. Sometimes while speeding up like normal on the road, the car will tend to give a "buck" or two like it is misfiring or firing on the wrong cylinder or something. Once in a while, say if you shift from first to second and giving her hard all the way, once in second and stomping the throttle, the car while tend to "moan and groan" like it has no power or something along those lines an will continue to do so until you actually let off and push in the clutch. The only thing is to let off, get the rpm up a bit, then let the clutch back out and it will be fine again. Wierd.
Any advice would be great. It's been doing this ever since I reinstalled the HB and using the Ford magnetic spacer strip for the gap setting on the crank sensor. Is this sounding like a MAF problem or worse?
Thanks in advance. I will look forward to some replies.
