Location: perth

Hey guys,

My falcon seems to shudder alot when accelerating

While driving I will start to speed up and the car will act like it is not getting any power to the engine Ie.. Feels like the care is not getting any power, the car will shudder take my foot off the pedel and it will stop.

Currently the car needs a service and a new Exhaust as this has a hole in it . I have Replaced the Ignition leads and spark plugs, I have Replaced the Fuel filter twice one was not sealing correctly, I have even replaces the Water pump ( due to a leak that i had)

Does any body else have any ideas

check all fluid levels and do that service. Take it to ford and get the trans fluid checked because you cant do it on a EL trans.

What does it idle like? and what happens when you rev it in park/netural?

Pull the ignition coil off, remove brackets and check for cracks.
Also check dizzy cap and rotor, for burning, the carbon brush wears out.

hey thanks so far
the car idles fine and drive fine until you put your foot on the accelerator and then it will shudder and loose power.

The only things i think it could be are:
The Exhaust
The Fuel Pump

the fluid levels are fine although i have not had the auto trans service since i bought it 2 years ago

The wheels are aligned and I have new tye so it wil not be that as it is not the wheels that are the problem it is the accelerating
any body else ??
