Can high pressure fuel pumps get hot and "weaken"?
Ive had this aggravating problem with rusty ever since i got it going. I thought it was plugs but i changed those and put on 6 brand new motorcraft wires.
It runs excellent 99% of the time, but after driving a while it sputters a bit on take off and after the 1-2 upshift, or if im coasting in gear and get back into the gas.
It seems to only do it if you just barely toe the throttle, but will do it randomly if you rev it up and let the clutch out a bit quick.
Its almost like somethings not responding to sudden, yet slight increases in engine fuel demand. If i just hammer it it never misses a lick or even if im driving "spirited", but if im just puttin around it does it.
I just drove it an hour away and it didnt miss a lick besides this issue, its more annoying then anything. Anyone got any ideas?
I should add that if i shut the truck off for even a minute or 2 it wont do it for a bit, and itl, do it sometimes on initial take off from a cold start.
