Acceleration cuts out

moneypitsvt said:
I have a 98 SVT and have a problem. My car seems to "cut out" under acceleration(intermittent problem). I have new plugs/wires/coil/tps/fuel filter/cleaned injectors/and fuel pump screen. Please let me know if I have missed something to replace. Any sugestions will help as I am very close to getting rid of this day to day repair nightmare. I have never had a car that has required so much repair and had so many "quirks". From the electrical to mechanical it seems almost not worth having it. Don't think I am a novice to owning a Ford either(3 mustang gt's/1 71' mach 1 fastback/escort exp/and a Taurus SHO) so I know that Fords need love. I drove my 93 subaru over 45000 miles in 9 months without a single problem. This car has an issue almost daily. So please help!!!!

Your 98 does not use the returnless system so it does not have the filter disc at the bottom of the pump module. Also the Focus SVT pump would not be an appropriate replacement. The advice posted here so far fits the late 99 and newer cars with the returnless fuel system. You would know if your car is so equipped because the fuel pump module is too big to fit through the hole in the floor with enlarging it.
