All,

I had the diode on the mass air intake fixed and put new shocks and brakes on my 1997 Mercury Cougar - but it's still shivers / brrrrs through acceleration and deacceleration ... any ideas on what causes this? Id it still the air / fuel mix or clogged fuel injectors or what ??? or could it still be oxygen sensors ??? Let me know your thoughts

Thank you

hmmmmz, maybe the decellaration is completely unrelated, try checking out the suspension, and maybe even the brakes on the drive wheels

DOH!

All it needed was a good transmission flush and for good measure I replaced the serpentine belt as it was old and had some cracks in it. No more brrring and shuddering through gears. Now I just need new shocks inside the front struts and to adjust the brakes so it doesn't pull when braking. It's a lot more cougar like now... Slow and steady

pulling when braking is some times caused by a warped disc, just try checking that before you go an buy a new strut for it, dont wanna be spendin money when it needn't be spent...
