    I think I blew something up!

    driving home from work yesterday the car suddenly surged forward under medium throttle. Feels like it was doing it in second gear. I'll start going from a stop,motor's revs are stable,car is moving fine,then all of a sudden it almost feels like I hit the gas at wide open throttle. The transmission doesnt feel like its slippin,fluid is good(maybe a little too much actually)not burnt,using mercon five.OD is good, no slips,third seems fine.

    When it was doing it i decided to get on the gas a little at the next stop. I'm at wot,motor isnt winding up,then all of a sudden it kicks it in the ass. Upshifts and downshifts seem normal. Cables/bushing are all there,adjusted the tv pressure according to the threads when i first got the car.

    What could this be?TPS? i HOPE it isnt a tranny problem. There just isnt slip,just a delayed reaction between me hitting the gas and the motor not revving.
    *before you ask the e-brake is not on-that was the first thing i checked

    Fuel filter? Happened on my TC when I got it. Spark plugs and wires are another random guess.

        it's all in your head
        Give a man a fish and he will be fed for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will promptly forget that he once did not know, and proceed to call anyone who asks, a n00b and flame them on the boards for being stupid.

              So let me see if I understood correctly, your complaint is that your car is displaying random boosts of extra power?

                  no there is a delay from when the throttle is pressed,to the motor actually revving. big delay.

                    have you checked it for codes? Could be a failed TPS or something. Should turn up a code if its a sensor problem.

                      a while ago i tried hooking up a snap on one from my buddy, turns out his connector on a 3000 dollar scanner cannot hook up to my car's connector.There were two pins that had to be moved in order for it to work so i told him nvrmd. At any rate there is no CEL on,so might be a stored code?
                      also i did adjust my tps a couple of months ago,the voltage was low on the wot range.

                        might be easier to just do the jumper test. http://fordfuelinjection.com/?p=13
