Basically, when I am in 1st or 2nd gear and I floor the gas pedal, it sometimes feels like its falls on its face...but then begins to pull hard right after. It only occurs when the RPM's are below 3K. If I am above 3K RPM and then floor the pedal, it seems fine and pulls hard. Someone told me that it could be due to a faulty MAF sensor, but I'm not sure. Any ideas?? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>blind</b> <br /><small>Member # 3052</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2006,6,17,21,51,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> with the key on and engine off, tap into the TPS sensor wires so you can read the voltage on a volt meter and check that the voltage goes from under 1 volt at idle (throttle closed) smoothly up to ~5volts at wide open throttle.<br /><br />I would clean the MAF sensor also. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>SydeWayzSix</b> <br /><small>Member # 2222</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2006,6,17,22,9,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> I'll try that.
