1998 ford mustang 3.8 running problems
earlier this week about monday my car broke down that morning i got in it, it started right up and i moved it in front of my house to get some boxes out of the trunk later that day i got in it to go down the road tried to start it and it had flooded out and it wouldn't move so couple more tries it done the same thing and then it was dead all at once there was no fire at all so i got to troubleshooting the next day i poured gas directly into the throttle body and it starts for a couple of seconds then quits i kept doing this until it kept running on its own so finally i hooked everything back up got it and went up the road with it i got to run it for about 30 minutes with a slight hesitation and then it quit and never started back so i had a tester put on it at advance auto parts they told me it was the mass air flow sensor and it was running lean on number one cylinder which they said that it was caused over the maf sensor was down so i got it and put it on it fired back up and run good about half the night i tried it the next morning and it went back doing the same thing all over again even my window wouldn't roll up it would just click so i thought well maybe the spark plugs was out where it flooded out so i went and got some bosch platinum plugs and put in it and now after i done that my window rolls up and done good since then and now the car runs good until it warms and it starts hesitating and making like a gargle sound like it did before i have no idea what going on with it when the motor is cool it will run like a jet goin up the road and when the tempature guage gets up in the middle thats when it goes back down hill does anybody have any idea of what this sounds like or whats goin on with it

Re: 1998 ford mustang 3.8 running problems
3 things make a car run, fuel air and spark. Find out which one of those is not contributing and you found your starting point. Check fuel pressure first to rule out fuel pump/regulator issues.

Re: 1998 ford mustang 3.8 running problems
