Hello all, new guy here. Just bought an '03 GT ,49k miles.Problem is abucking and backfire when accelerating,happens between 2500-3 k rpm,then levels out.I am not an ace mechanic,but can do minor repairs
Would new plugs and wires help, or any other ideas as to cause?
Any and all responses would be greatly appreciated,Thanks.

A new set of plugs and wires - make sure you get something better than stockers, I use Magnecors, but there are other good sets as well - would certainly be in order with 49k. This is something you can easily do yourself. Gap them a bit tighter than stock - especially if you go with iridiums which should be gapped at around .030. Check air filter, turbo fittings for leaks, etc.
If this does the trick, great. If not, more troubleshooting is in order. Let us know how it's going...[?]
