thats what it was the distributor

DUDEEEEEEEEEEEE check the distributor i had the same problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

fuel problem... Filter,injectors, or pump.

nah I'm actully just gonna sell the cobra cuz we cant figure it out and its not worth my time trying to figure it out. I'm only 20 I got plenty of time left to do this stuff I'm just gonna sell my car and I have my eyes on a 2001 Chevy 1500

nah ohsoclean i wasnt a coach favorite so i never really did see the field that much even though my teamates new i was one of the best players on the team. I actully boxed for about 8 months or so up in Columbia, MO

its lean, or your timing is off-sounds like a fuel problem tho

ya theres quite a few things that can be wrong with it. as simple as the fuel filter (which to be frank i've never seen a fuel filter make that hard of miss), Ignition as simple as having wires in the wrong sequence to having a bad coil, Could be a fuel injector problem ie.. cracked or clogged, to even as severe as losing alot of compression on the cylinder. You're just going to have to check everything out it'll take some time but if you check everything you might find it to be a combination of objects instead of being just one which will actually save you in the long run. like i said just check it and hit me back, im not really a Cobra guy but thier pretty much the same mechanics as anyother V8.

HAVE YOU GOTTEN IT FIXED? DID YOU PLAY COLLEGE BALL OR ARE YOU JUST POSING W A FOOTBALL?

make sure there isnt a vacuum leak , and timing

if it kicks back its two things, it is leaning out or it is out of timing, check top dead center (tdc); if you dont have a gauge put a screwdriver into the spark plug hole and rotate the engine untill it is the highest.
