    My car is Possessed!! Please help!!! IF YOU CAN

    For some odd reason my car will sometimes stall. :guns: After I restart it, it will run for a second and die.
    :chainsaw: Sometimes after I restart the car, it will run fine for a few blocks and then
    stall again. If I jerk the car around with the hydraulics it will allow the car to start up again.
    Other times it runs all day with no problems. I know it has nothing
    to do with the new Mustang tank conversion, because it did the same thing with the stock tank.
    Seems to me that it may be a fuel system problem, but I'm not sure
    because I'm not a mechanic, I'm a body man. :poop2:

    Yours is CFI right? Sounds like an electrical issue. Most likely a bad ground if it is that. Check the wiring to the injectors and such.

      Its (TBI) Throttle body injection. Is that the same as CFI?

          Make sure your TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) is nice and tight too.

              Mine used to to that too. I took off the CFI and pulled it all apart and cleaned every thing. I cleaned my egr and checked for vacuum leaks. Changed my O2 sensor and got a new air and fuel filter and seafoamed it twice. Now my car runs good and has yet to stall. And Suprisingly the CFI still worked after I ripped it apart.

                Check the ecm connector. Should be attachet to the Neg cable right near the battery. Mine acted funky when it was loose

                            You also should check the fuel pump and ECM relays. Thump them with a screwdriver handle while its running to see if the car fucks up.

                              Check your relays and the coil connections. Check the coil connections really well.
