Problem.. May 24, 2011, 09:51:38 AM Having a problem with the cougar, has a nasty hesitation. On a normal car you push the gas instantly the engine revs. The problem I'm having is you push the gas and it bogs down almost to the stalling point but than revs up. Once your moving it has no problem you hit it and it kicks right in with no hesitation. Not sure what it is??? Also don't know if it's related but my gas mileage has gone down as well???? kinda sucks when you try and take off from a parking lot and it has that hesitation. Quote Selected

Problem.. Reply #13 – July 08, 2011, 10:18:55 PM Gonna try and tackle this real soon... Anyway to test the TPS? Quote Selected
Problem.. Reply #14 – July 09, 2011, 05:54:57 AM The proper way to test a TPS is with a SCOPE. But lacking one you can use a Digital volt meter. Back probe sig-ret (blk-wht) and (dark grn-lt grn) and do a sweep of the voltage. It should sweep with no glitches or drop outs. Normally voltage runs .9-4.8V Closed to WOT. Quote Selected
