why does my Ford Mustang S650 (2024-Present) feel sluggish after servicing?

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.
• Disconnect the battery to ensure safety during inspection.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and the engine is cool.

2. Inspect Air Filter

• Remove the air filter housing cover.
• Take out the air filter and check for dirt or damage.
• Replace the air filter if it is dirty or damaged.
• Reassemble the air filter housing.

3. Fuel System Check

• Inspect fuel lines for any signs of leaks or disconnections.
• Check fuel injectors for proper spray pattern by removing them and performing a bench test if necessary.
• Replace any faulty fuel injectors or damaged fuel lines.

4. Electrical Connections

• Visually inspect all electrical connections that may have been disturbed during servicing.
• Reconnect any loose connectors, ensuring they are secure.
• Use a multimeter to check for voltage at critical sensors (e.g., MAF, TPS).

5. Battery Inspection

• Check battery terminals for corrosion and tightness.
• Use a multimeter to measure the battery voltage; it should read around 12.6 volts or higher.
• Clean terminals if corrosion is present and tighten connections.
