Alright heres the scoop guys, the car idles perfectly at a stop without a miss or anything. But when I go for a take off (just normal or hard) the tach falls slightly like it is going to stall. The car hesitates and then comes back to life.
Another example, if I tap on the gas consecutivley and say keep it around 1500 rpm. making sure im taping the gas like blipping the throttle, it will pick up like normal sometimes, and other times the tach falls back down to about 1200-1300 like someone stopped the airflow on the engine.
Also while I am driving and apply the gas it also hesistates but once it starts moving it seems to be ok. A guy at the local ford shop ran a diagonostic on it and said that the computer wasn't "reading the MAF sensor" and I have tried running the car with and w/o the MAF sensor plugged in and it also runs like crap with it unplugged. So my question is, do you think it is an accurate diagonsis of the problem and should I replace the MAF sensor itself? Because it does run differently when its plugged in so I woulda thought it would be reading it. It is a C & L Maf sensor with a yellow sampling tube i beleive to be right with my 36 lb injectors. I just dont' know what else to make of it. My next question is if I FIND out that this is my problem the sensor has to be out of a late model SC correct? What are other possibilities that it could be?
The HG's were just done on the car and the car was sealed back up perfectly. It did it before the HG's and it is also doing it after.
