and go the max speed
First i would do a compression test and see if the pressure is still correct for the engine. this will explain most problems, compression testing kits don't cost that much, do the test and see if you have one or more low compression in the cylinders. if you have it could be a weak or sticking piston ring or its snapped rings, ralli sound does not sound good could be the timing chain and adjuster or the timing belt depending on engine number. if it is this dont un engine anymore and have this fixed or you will need a replacement engine.
SOURCE: the car will not accelerate;
this sounds like 1 of 2 possible problems.
a bad headgasket or a clogged catalytic convertor. i would lean more towards the convertor
SOURCE: won't run with the correct firing order
hi the firing order for a 5.0-302 is 15426378 and the fireing order for a 351is 13726548 save to file and zoom in
SOURCE: loss of power going up hill
fuel pump is bad. they are under extented warranty from ford. take to dealer and "insist" they change it. there is service bulletin on this, but dealers often play "dumb".
Check for head gasket problem, what do the fliuds look like?
SOURCE: going up a hill my car goes max 30 to 40
A few possible causes:
Throttle position sensor
Plugged fuel filter
Fouled spark plugs or bad wires.
