    What would cause my car to skip at low RPM's

    Yeah it runs like a champ. Even starts better. I took it our and had a little RAG-A-RAMA session and no misfires at all.

    What would cause my car to skip at low RPM's

    Finally found the problem. It was a loose pickup in the distributor. It was bolted down but still had play and was hitting the inside of the vane/shutter thingy as it spun. It was hard to see unless you took it out. It might be worth it to check the pickup for play on some of these mystery...

    Distributor disassembly problems

    Car fires up and runs geat. I went with a new dist. because i could not get the (vane/shutter) thing that passes through the pickup to rebuild the old one. It was hard to get the right dist., there was one that had the control module on the dist. and the one I need has the control module on...

    Distributor disassembly problems

    Somehow the pickup had loosened/shrunk and was moving a little around the shaft(it was bolted down but was had play). It was rubbibg the inside edge of the vane/shutter causing a misfire and strange codes on the computer(spout errors and ground errors). Everything seems tight on the dist. but...

    Distributor disassembly problems

    I am trying to replace the stator in my 94 5.0 distributor. I have removed the vane but can not figure out how to remove the post that the vane bolts to so i can replace the pickup. Is it pressed on and I need to use a puller? Please help!!!

    What would cause my car to skip at low RPM's

    OK, I put the car on the scope at work and it showed that the problem is with the primary side. All of the cyls drop out at once. I put a new coil on it and still had the same problem. I checked all the grounds again and no problems there. I guess the only thing left now is the pickup on the...

    What would cause my car to skip at low RPM's

    I work at our familys GM dealership and will be bringing my 5.0 in and put it on the scope to try to pinpoint the problem. I am the blacksheep of the family, I have 3 Fords and no GM vehicles. I will post the results of the scoping.

    What would cause my car to skip at low RPM's

    I started testing conectors from the ICM to the computer and the spout to the computer and all is well. I took the car out to try the old "run it hard and it will fix itself" concept. That did not work either. While I was out I thought I would look for any arcing of wires and plugs, so I go...

    What would cause my car to skip at low RPM's

    I changed my plugs today from Bosch to Motorcraft and still had the misfire/bucking below 2000 RPM. Whan the car warmed up it started to smooth out and idle right, and the tach stopped jumping around to. Where should I go next? New coil, PIP(sender in dist) or ICM? Someone please advise...

    What would cause my car to skip at low RPM's

    I tested about everything you could imagine ICM, TPS, idle air sensor, MAF, vacum, connectors and coil. Problem is still there. I guess I am going to take the plugs out and check them out(again). My 91 lx 5.0 never had a ghost problem like this. Dave

    What would cause my car to skip at low RPM's

    OK, here are the codes 332 EGR Valve intermittently stuck. (Got that one before.) The new one is 212 or IDM circuit failure / SPOUT circuit grounded. What is the 212 code telling me and what can I do about it?

    What would cause my car to skip at low RPM's

    I have a 94 GT vert and have a bad bad skipping/missing problem. It feels like all power to the plugs is coming and going. It completely loses power and bucks badly. It only seems to happen below 2000 RPMS. If you keep it reved up it seems to be fine. It started little by little over 3 days...

    5.0 blowing steam after gasket replacement

    Thanks a lot for the responces. It is amazing how much coolant could leak into the exhaust to steam for so long.

    5.0 blowing steam after gasket replacement

    I just replaced my leaking lower intake gasket on my 94 5.0. I let the car sit for a few weeks before I replaced the gasket and lots of coolant got in the cylinders. I pulled the plugs out and blew most of the coolant out. When I put the new gasket on and started the engine, all kinds of...

    What cam and intake should I go with.

    I have read all the other posts on changing heads, cam and intake all at once and wish I could do that. I only have enough money for a cam and intake. So far the steeda #19 looks like it is the most ECC friendly, but what kind of power will I see out of a cam? I hear the E303 is a good one...
