My 1997 mustang is acting up. I have to start it by pumping the gas pedal and turnign the key at the same time. Plus when I am driving it acts like that it doesnt want to downshift. My RPM's are jumping around even when braking. I have change the oil the transmission fluid and their filters. I have flushed the radiator and checked the filter. I have also cleaned out the throttle plate. What could be the problem. Please help.[img:3e0d092953]http://www.2carpros.com/forum/automotive_pictures/431443_fun_times_2209_032_2.jpg[/img:3e0d092953]

Ok I would clean the mass air flow sensor with mass air flow cleaner and how old is the fuel filter? PM me and let me know and we will go from there.
