Update on Mustang
UPDATE:
I posted this message Friday the 13th. <bold> ""Hi, I drive a 2001 Ford Mustang Coupe, the car has 47,900 miles on it. I recently have had problems with the car. When you get it up to 30-35 MPH the motor feels like it is shaking (kindof like a hesitation in the motor?). It feels like something is pushing back on it. When you get it past 60 it drives alright. I have got my tires balance, a 4 wheel alignment, fuel filter replace, and it still does it. I took to to a mechanic and he said something about it being the spark plugs. And he said it could also be transmission problems. But I took it to a Transmission Specialitst and he said it is for sure not the transmission, it is in the motor. The hesitation did not start until i got my tires balanced at Wal-mart. Could anyone give me a couple of pointers of what it could be? The car does not have a warrenty. Mark" </bold> <\bold> I recenlty just changed the fuel filter out of the mustang, and at first I felt no changes. But the more i drive it, the less I feel it. The question is, "do you have to drive your car a couple hundred miles before the fuel filter takes out the jerks in the motor, or does the fuel filter have nothing to do with the jerks in the motor?" I had a couple of post to change the spark plugs or clean them. I am going to do this first thing Monday. And more post would be most helpful. Thanks again.

Re: Update on Mustang
I don't think the filter should ever cause jerks unless there was something seriously wrong with it, like it was totally blocked up.

problem with the pump? have it tested. check compression too and cylinder blowby if you get a chance. those probably arent' your problem, but it's possible. this may very well be your harmonic balancer (wait, do mod motors have those?). without actually driving the car and feeling it, there's not much we can tell you here. good luck.
