Broke my car - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

WC_Racer · 08-29-2008, 01:45 AM

Kinda. I was coming back from getting my car tuned and while on the free way (please read the rules again). I downshifted from 5th to 4th and next thing I know the car starts to jerk. I figured I just ran out of gas since I've been driving for a while and because of the 4 dyno pulls. Well I got off the freeway in time and let her rest while I went to get gas. Well she was full and she would not stay while I cranked her. So end result I had to tow her home. Anybody have any ideas what it could be? Someone told me I could have a huge vaccum leak or I blew some of the intercooling pipes out and messed up the MAF. Or the fuel pumps just crapped on me.

Set up is a P1SC with an intercooler with 42lbs injectors with a BA2800 running twin focus pumps.

sounds like you blew a pipe or possibly a big leak in the area of the maf seal....if you have an a/f gauge it will peg full lean with a leak and answer your question very easy...

I don't understand. Did you run out of gas or not? Low fuel light?

So it will start but not stay running? If so, I had an issue of blowing off the PCV line off of the side of the intake manifold. I ended up going with a rubber hose that is clamped to the intake. May want to check that.

I have the PLX series but they wouldnt fit in the Speed of Soude gauge cluster so I'm waiting for my autometer cluster to come in.

Nope none of that. She had a full tank.
