I pick my car up from his shop after him having it a month, it's running Hella shitty I ended up just driving it home and he was suppose to come fix it there everyday telling me he was going to come by my house and never come by for month after never showing up !

At idle car sounds good revs up doesn't sputter but when cars in gear and I get on throttle it starts sputtering about 3000-3500 rpm

1. Verify dead timing

2. make sure balancer 0 is correct. make sure it hasn't slipped.

3. it is common to have the car dead timed wrong. spark firing between two terminals. causing what you described.

4. 5 speed car?? was it a swap??

I agree with Duncan, NOTHING GOES RIGHT with these cars; or else the tech section here would be empty.

i Had my 96gt at sacstang drivers house for over a month, for a 97 cobra swap; had the motor swapped by the next day but when we went start the car ended up some how bending a rod and 2 valves got smacked and it was over on the first start up; Jeremy offered to give my money back and reinstall my old motor and mods that with the parts i had; he then offered me to rebuild the 97 cobra motor which in the end i choose, it took over a month but that was alot of waiting on a good set of b heads and the machine shop. Jeremy always kept me in the loop and informed. Even sold my old motor so i wouldn't have to get it back down to discovery bay.(still need to Pick up the Cash)

in the end i got a car that was more than what i expected; car drove like new...to bad the car was parted out.

Any more info on this??
When I say check timing I mean use a piston stop and verify TDC. Then check the balancer to make sure it is at TDC. THEN check ignition timing.

that's where I would go first.

Posted by 50kingz (Member # 11006) on :
 
i really dont want to pay shop money again.. i already paid hella money to sacstangdriver & cars still not right.. starting to lose faith & interest in car.. if i cant get it running right im thinking about jus parting it out...

Posted by Duncan Motors (Member # 7045) on :
 
certified money is shop money, sacstang driver has cheap rates actually way below shop prices, was he able to finish? cars have lots of bugs man, sometimes a car come in and the customer only thinks there's one problem you might be sicking them on and come to find out there might be three or four, if hes already familiar with the car he might be your best bet, especially if its got alot of bugs. u dont want shop prices but u want it done on a shop time schedule? you dont want to pay shop prices but u want somebody certified? how long this car just been sitting there having nothing happen? gd luck man. it sounds like a project, all projects take time unless u wana pay shop prices unless u find guys like sac stang driver or the small handfull of guys like us, u got at least 4 guys that are more than certified on this post alone, so i dont get the whats the problem?
