[QUOTE="emba129_98, post: 16765464, member: 199545"] Hi all, I took my 93 Cobra out for spirited runs over the last couple of weeks. I experienced the following: Issues: - under hard acceleration the engine would cutout or feel like I was hitting rev limit at around 4000 RPM. It did it about 1/2 the time. Sometimes it would continue to pull past 4K. Its intermittent - after a long drive, I parked at a restaurant for a couple of hours. When I went to start it is cranked very slowly like the battery was discharged. Its a new battery. On the way home, the charge indicator was reading low 12-13 v estimated. When I got home I measured voltage at the battery with the car running and got 13.2-13.7 v indicating to me that the alternator is charging. The next day with it was first started up it was charging at 14.4v. Not sure why it drops at operating temp. maybe regulator going bad I did a little research and Im thinking: - alternator/voltage regulator may be intermittent for the low charging issue. - starter could be going bad. when car is cold, starts fine. it only slow started one time - fuel pressure regulator or fuel pump for the intermittent cut-out under heavy acceleration, especially above 4000 rpm. - Im seeing other things combing the forums.. timing, TFI module, BAP sensor Also, the car feels like it should have more power. My stock 91 Lx 5.0 seems peppier Maybe a faulty alternator/voltage regulator causing it all? p.s. I did complete tuneup (new motorcraft plugs, cap, rotors, wires, ignition coil, battery) and timing to 12deg BTDC Thoughts?? I dont want to start throwing parts at it quite yet. Im going to hook up a fuel pressure gauge and try to measure pressure on hard accel Thanks Chris [/QUOTE]
