Engine Tech / Re: Hesitates on Acceleration from Stop - 1985 Cougar 3.8L Carb
Doing some research, people are saying this could be the accelerator pump on the carb or the power valve. I opened up the carb and the accelerator looks good, so I'm thinking it's the power valve. I am planning to rebuild the entire carb and see what that does. Hopefully it works!

Engine Tech / Hesitates on Acceleration from Stop - 1985 Cougar 3.8L Carb
I just got my "new" Cougar with 73,000 kms. It's in beautiful shape overall. However, when it starts up from cold, it idles rough. Also, when I accelerate from a stop, unless I gun it, it almost always hesitates and seems like it wants to stall.
Any ideas on what could be causing this? I'm new to this forum and would really appreciate your help!
God Bless.
