Thread: Clutch or Coil Pack

Tweet

Alright guys you save my butt once before can you do it again? Heres my problem I have a 2000 Mustang GT and everytime I get on it, it hesitates like I have a plug misfiring no RPM gauge fluxing or anything. When I am on the highway cruising along it runs fine but once again I get on it and it studders. My clutch has 96K on it so I am thinking thats what it is, but I think it might also be the coil packs or injectors...please help.

The spark plugs are easier to check than the clutch---

I have not plugged in a code reader, check engine light is not on.

CEL does not need to be on for a code to be present. it will be an intermittent problem that clears itself. but the code will stay there for 300 miles usually

It has 96K on it.

Changed the TPS still same problem, hooked up the computer and it didn't have any faults in it. When I was having a spark plug problem with my truck it acted this way except on my truck the RPMs surged. No RPM surge on the Mustang. I think I am going to change my plugs and hope for the best, any advice guys would be appreciated thanks.

Changed the plugs and two coil packs, still the same problem can anyone help please?

Have you changed your fuel filter?

Yes about 12K ago and I checked it yesterday and its fine, taking it to get diagnosed this morning will let you know.

Coil pack on #7 cylinder was not all the way seated when I changed it yesterday with the plugs, re-seated ops check good thanks for all your advice once again.
