FO SHO

Does anyone have a stuttering 5th gen SHO? I was driving for maybe 10 min and stopped at a red light. I gradually take off from the light and cruise with traffic for a while. When i try to mash on the gas, the car hesitates and it feels like the transmission isn't engaging. It speeds up really slow like a creep. When i hit it for the second time, it takes off like normal. It has only happened twice. I purchased the car with 38k miles. It now has 42k miles. I don't know if the spark plugs have been changed with the previous owner. I have an Unleashed tune with methanol. I did not have the methanol installed when it happened.

Probably shaftening wires between cai and engine. There is a thread for that for sure in the forum... Many of us had that problem with 5th gen SHO. Someone can chime in to give the thread (I am at movies and it is starting lol).

On a lighter note..... As some know I'm in Austin this week.  Weather is gloomy and drizzling rain... but They had a wet T-shirt contest this afternoon at a 6th street bar..... Here's pic of the Texas belle who won!

Sure feels good having got some things done that I have been wanting to be able to do!  The only thing pressing now (when it dries up) is to get a wash, take some pics, oh, and test a new tune! Yeehaw!
