Author Topic: help me !!!! highofftiresmoke ¯ Member # 2159 posted                              ok something is very wrong here here is the case... 91 gt 5 speed iam driving along and i stab it.. and when the car gets to about 3 grand it starts to make a lous rubbing kinda girnding noise... and the the car starts to shutter and shake and jolt really hard... so i figure hey maybee the clutch is slipping. so i push the clutch pedal in and rev it to about 3,500 and it shakes real hard and dies... like iam losing fuel but it doesn't stutter it shakes then dies... restart the car try it again same thing... what in the world could be the source of this prob.. any help or idea's would be greatly apprecitated ! thanks guys -------------------- 90 red lx - sold 90 white lx -sold 90 red gt - in progess and then for sale ...

The spout connector is the little plastic conector that clips into a harness right by your distributor.... If its not pluged in you will run base timming (10* for instance) even at 3500rpm, which is not enough.... Is the noise more physical?...Like something is actually falling off?... -------------------- -SLOWER TRAFFIC KEEP RIGHT- Posts: 5132 | From: Bay Area, CA | Registered: Dec 2001  |  : Stimson _ Member # 51 posted                              Check your harmonic balancer.

Just felt like I was driving on railroad tracks with 1000 lb. front springs until I got it fixed. Sounds more electrical or fuel related to me -------------------- Go out and do something for yourself today everyone, quit depending on others -Me http://www.CaliforniaFords.com/cgi-bin/album.pl?album=00001689 Posts: 4003 | From: San Bruno | Registered: Aug 2002  |  : highofftiresmoke ¯ Member # 2159 posted                              thanks for the advice.... i just did a tuen up on it sat... maybee i messed the timing up some way some how i should double chck that. a few people think it might be something electrical as well..... -------------------- 90 red lx - sold 90 white lx -sold 90 red gt - in progess and then for sale ...
