Help?!
Hey guys, i jus bought my intimidator about 3 months ago and love the car. The other day i noticed that when i first start the car it kind of hesitates for about 10 to 15 seconds and then disappears. Doesnt always do this. Normally just when the car is already warmed up. I was wondering if anyone has had similar problems or any solutions. Also the motor just started a ticking sound on the top of the motor. I know ive read about several ppl with the same problem and said it could be a stuck lifter. Is there any solutions to this without having to change the lifters. Lucas Oil treatmeant?

How many miles on the car? Could need to clean a few things, like the TPS or MAF Air screen. Any back fires or missing when operating on the road??

I wouldn't think you need the clean the air screen for the MAF, but the actual sensor itself. Especially if it is happening on a warm start.
You would need a Torx T-20 Security bit to remove the MAF and ONLY use MAF cleaner. I would be iffy about using Seafoam on the supercharged motor as if you use it wrong you could strip the coating off your rotors.
Have you changed your supercharger oil ever?? That is a piece of maintenance that you should do. Make sure the correct weight of oil and the amount of oil is also correct if you hear the ticking.
