It's pretty much stock, but it stutters sometimes while WOT throttle and while driving normal. I have changed spark plugs, fuel filter, cleaned air filter, mass air meter, TPS sense. Checked coil on plugs and they seem to work fine. No trouble codes. I can't find any vaccum hose disconneted. What should the fuel pressure be at idle and WOT? Any ideas or other things I should check.

So I'm assuming that they all are working.<br /><br />At idle I do have 20 hg and at WOT it's at 0 hg. Fuel pressure at idle is 20 psi. and at WOT it goes to about 32 or 36 psi. I will double check to make sure what fuel pressure is at WOT. The car just stutter for two or three second then it just revs normal, when driving somethimes and at WOT. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>trickflow211</b> <br /><small>Member # 8503</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(2009,11,10,13,28,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> my car had the same little throttle lag...i just used a bottle of seafoam and it got rid of the throttle lag, and it fixed my idle, and gave me way better throttle responce, not saying its going to work for you...but juss tryna help...=] <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>cobra_302_stang</b> <br /><small>Member # 7257</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(2009,11,10,16,40,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Do you mean fuel injector cleaner.
