2000 281SC stumble
 
Does anybody know what fuel injector LBS. should be installed?, I think I have 30# installed from the previous owner, and what heat range should the spark plugs be, the reason for my questioning is when I step on it after its warm, it stumbles unless I floor it, then the Supercharger kicks in and overides the problem, which would be fine, if it weren't the fact I'm using up excess gas, it has like a miss when its heated up, if I hold at a a certain RPM, it miss's and if I come to a light, it wants to die and I have to actually keep applying the gas when it drops down to keep it from dieing. Any help would be appreciated, I hook up a DTC code reader and it doesn't show a code to analyze, I'm running out of idea's !! Thanks !

Hard to say without an actual code that comes with a check engine light. With the info you have so far I am thinking vacuum leak. One of the lines is loose or disconnected or pinched or maybe even an air sensor or throttle sensor. I would try and pull a code or even take it to a shop that can put it on the scope and get snap shots of the air/fuel numbers. A good shop should be able to have a few ideas.

Shot in the dark. Have a look at your ccrm. It's located in the passenger fender well. Okay maybe you are already hot on the trail. Let us know what you find.

Bad or failing coils are one the issues that caused my Saleen to stumble. On the list as well were: vacum leaks, partially clogged fuel filter, bad plug, defective EGR, three clogged fuel injectors. Bottom line, as mine is a 99’ it was simpler (and cheaper) just to replace everything with new parts. Just had the SC rebuilt due to bad bearing, seals and scuffing of the SC rotors coating.
