acceleration issues January 27, 2008, 03:22:14 PM For some reason vwhen i stomp on the gas, the throttle takes another 3 seconds or so to even get a clue that i wanna move fast. Anybody know why and how to fix it?95 Cougar XR7 4.6L only mod so far is a K&N pod filter in the engine compartment (not in the fender yet) Quote Selected

acceleration issues Reply #7 – January 28, 2008, 08:51:56 PM ya my check engine light is on so codes could be it. i took it to autozone once to get it looked at and it threw a few codes that i had no idea what they were. i'll get it checked again when the tax returns come and get them fixed. and if it is the throttle position sensor, will a 97 throttlebody get me more horses?

acceleration issues Reply #8 – January 31, 2008, 01:51:09 PM without knowing what codes came up, it's useless trying to throw parts at it...from the sounds of it, I would assume it's a MAF issue...often times on the 4.6 cars the MAF sensors are VERY sensitive to K&N filters. It had to do with the oils in the filter. Quote Selected
