Hey guys, been around a while as you know....but new to the SVT family. I bought my '97 cobra about a month ago and love every minute of it.

I do have a few questions thought that I have noticed so far after having the car for a while....

1) If I am driving in 3rd or 4th and downshift to 2nd (around 40mph) and punch it, the car does nothing. It doesn't stall, but its like the pedal isnt telling the throttle body to open. The car runs strong other then that (going through all the gears at WOT)

I do have a CEL, but I haven't ran the codes myself. They guy I bought it from had a CEL reader and said it was something to do with the "secondary air intake"....Any ideas?

I have an aftermarket cat-back and I also have a some kind of chip installed. I don't knwo anything about it...but would like to find out. Where is this located?

Ill post the other questions in a seperate thread. Thanks for the input guys! :beer:

"Secondary air intake" would be your IMRC's. They probably are sticking.
Look in the "How-To" section of the sn95 area to see how to clean them.

The chip is located on/in your ECU. located in the pass. side kick panel.
