    Running rich, real rich

    Picked up the car, absolutely no problems. They said they did absolutely nothing, just never ran bad for them. I don't know if I believe that, they called to ask why my upper intake was missing a bolt so they had to be looking awful close at something to notice that. Anyway, cheers for them if...

    Running rich, real rich

    So the speed shop calls and tells me that they cannot find anything out of the ordinary. They say they drove it all around town and the head guy even took it with him on a lunch run to see if they could get a check engine light or something to pop. According to them, absolutely no issues. Is it...

    Running rich, real rich

    Well, as it usually happens, my drive to the mechanic was picture perfect. Speed shop called back to ask me the symptoms because they said their test drive was also event free. I told them to let her run for a bit and then the problems will come out. They haven't called back so I assume...

    Running rich, real rich

    /sigh Not yet Nick. Maybe this is just God's way of saying to buy a whole new longblock? Sounds like that's the message I'm getting, chuckle! Oh well.

    Running rich, real rich

    You think its safe to take it back to the same speed shop? It seems almost certain that they f'd something up in the first place.

    Running rich, real rich

    Ahh the smell of gasoline wafting through the air. Honestly though, I'm living a nightmare, a 5mpg nightmare. It all started when I got my car back from the SFC install. After about 5-6 miles or when my temperature sensor reaches about 180 degrees, it seems, my car starts running like total...

    Distributor crack, problem?

    Heh, don't you just love the old guys at the parts stores? I was telling the kid behind the counter that I'd rather have a cap with copper/brass terminals and he was looking at me all blank. Old guy is like oh yah we have those and pulls one from the back. Woot, saves me $45 and a trip to a ford...

    Distributor question

    Hey all, if I had a tiny leak in the stock WT sender location, could water get down into the distributor and mess anything up? Or is it watertight? Thanks.

    Distributor crack, problem?

    Yikes HISSIN, I just noticed that. What you got on your mind bro? Heh, if you read all the posts through with that in your mind, they really come across as something different. As far as Motorcraft, yah its just Ford's OEM stuff. For some reason you cannot get them from parts stores and...

    Diagnose this problem

    BTW, I just realized that my lean/rich conditions could be the fault of my adjustable MAF. Car normally smells rich so I cannot fathom it running lean.

    Distributor crack, problem?

    Hrmmm, I guess I'll look into it. Everything fit fine except for that little ridge on the lip. Dealers and their crazy prices.

    Vaccuum line from intake to charcoal

    I'm sorry, I meant to say on the underside of the upper intake. The hose charcoal side wasnt capped, so I'd assume he capped it off under the intake. Any issues in doing that?

    Vaccuum line from intake to charcoal

    Hey all, as part of my quest to solve my car problem before I have to try and figure out something electrical - they confuse me - I have a vaccuum question. Somehow the vacuum line between the charcoal box and the bottom of the upper intake shredded. In that condition, it was giving me a real...

    Distributor crack, problem?

    Ok, so even a little crack on the side would be an issue I guess. For those of you with a motorcraft distributor, it has a little ridge on the lip that I guess only motorcraft caps have too. That's where it cracked. I will definately be replacing it tomorrow I guess. Maybe I can put the new, as...

    Distributor crack, problem?

    Good good, this might even be the solution to my car dilemna at the moment. It's funny when bad news actually might turn out to be good news :)
