    afterfire and hesitation

    Ok I got the fuel pressure gauge in and I get 40 psi with the reg. vac off, 39 psi with it on and 30 psi when the cylinder balance test is going. I checked the codes and got 31 (probably the short in the wire) and 66 (disconnected maf to test). I dumped the codes and got 11 (KOEO)...

    afterfire and hesitation

    I finally got the plugs changed to the autolites and after hooking the wires back up the ticking is gone. I also changed the plenum gasket on the upper intake. I noticed that there was a lot of oil sitting in the plenum which is probably why the plugs were coated with oil when I pulled them...

    afterfire and hesitation

    There is a ticking sound coming cylinder 4 area. I was thinking it might be a header gasket leak but I changed it and it is still there. So it might be a stuck valve. I turned the dizzy to see if the ticking would go away and this when I noticed the base timing of 20. I returned it to 12...

    Ok I will do that, I guess I got fooled with the ad about more gaps is better but now that I think about it the can only be one spark at a time.

    afterfire and hesitation

    I am going to get a fuel pressure tester from autozone and see what it says, would a failing ignition coil do this, mine is the stock one. Also would a stock replacement be good or do I need an upgraded one with my setup and will the dizzy (stock), wires (stock style replaced two years ago (6K...

    afterfire and hesitation

    I replaced the header gasket on the pass. side and the ticking went away but I still have the hesitation and afterfire is only went I snap the throttle. I cant think of anything else to check for.

    afterfire and hesitation

    No I have not drove it, just moved the dizzy to where it would go away and checked the base timing and it was at 20. I recently replaced the oil pan gasket, water pump, and timing cover gasket. I didn't disconnect the exhaust from the heads so the leak might be the header gasket. When I went...

    afterfire and hesitation

    I finally got all my error codes to disappear. The afterfire has settled down but I still get the hesitation til 3K-3.5K and then it takes off. It seems that at half throttle and WOT act the same til 3K. I measured the TPS and it goes from 1.0 to 4.7 at WOT and it is smooth. The only I see...

    afterfire and hesitation

    I replaced the IAC seems to run a little betteralso did the fuel filter since it has been two years (6000 miles) just to be on the safe side and since it is cheap. Another question, with my setup when should my power kick in? Its slow from 1K to 3K and at 3K it takes off up to 5K when the...

    afterfire and hesitation

    I went off the assumption that the codes were 12, and 44. So in the book I have it says error 12 is the idle air controller. When I took the controller off it was nasty. I took it to work and used the ultrasonic on the valve part not the electronic part to clean it. Now the car will not...

    afterfire and hesitation

    I set my TPS to 1.0V and the error code went away. Now when I run the KOER test I get 4 lights to start then 1, 2, 4, 4, 1, 2, 4, 4, which to seem like it says 244 which in the book it says is a cylinder balancer test issue. But since you said that there is no 3 digit codes I would not know.

    afterfire and hesitation

    I am getting .636V. I borrowed my fluke from work so I know that reading is good. I replaced the EGR vacuum solenoid and now there is no vacuum to the EGR at idle. I am still getting the afterfire and bad gas smell but I think the ticking noise I heard by cylinder 4 is an exhaust manifold...

    afterfire and hesitation

    Is there an easy way to get to the wires off the EEC, I want to measure a ref voltage can I take the wires off the still get the 5V ref or does it have to be plugged in. I'm still getting 31(KOEO) and I get the 5V on the EGR and the voltage changes when the plunger goes in. I am thinking the...

    hesation at WOT

    I checked the initial timing and it was at 12 and when the spout was in it went to 32. When I adjusted the dizzy to make the ticking go away it was at 20 initial which sounds like a lot. I am running 91 octane if that make a difference.

    hesation at WOT

    I just recently changed the oil pan gasket, timing cover gasket and water pump gasket along with the water pump. When I put the engine back together I get hesation at WOT and when engine hits about 3500 it takes off along with a backfire through the exhaust when I let off the pedal. I pulled...

    Considering S-197

    It will not stay stock for sure, just look at my 88. I bought it about 2 yrs ago and it was stock except for the exhaust. I am probably going to buy one that already has mods. At least on the 88 it would have been cheaper to buy one that had all the stuff already on it. Seen a couple of 05...

    Considering S-197

    I am considering buying a S-197 I was wondering is there one year better than another. Also is buying a GT better than say buying a v6 and adding a turbo or supercharger. How hard are they to work on? I have rebuilt my 5.0 engine but I have heard the modular engine are harder to work on and...

    AOD 1 to 3 shift?

    When I did my real main seal and put the tranny back in the tv cable somehow got set wrong and it would not even shift. I noticed it when I took it around the block to test and it would not shift when I got up to 35.
