    Extremely Low Mpg...why???

    I think I understand the operation, but for some reason the valve is opening to the wrong direction. I re-plumbed the valve and the fuel vapors smell disappeared. I haven't run a KOER test yet. But by default I can predict I won't see error code 85 because the venting valve is operating...

    Extremely Low Mpg...why???

    Yeah I have it that way but the problem I see is that there is no flow from the charcoal canister to the intake when the valve opens. It does the opposite, there is flow from the intake to the charcoal canister that's why the intake don't get the fuel vapors stored in the charcoal canister. It...

    Extremely Low Mpg...why???

    Still troubleshooting, I know I might open a can of worms with this, working on the charcoal canister to solve the gas smell issues, I removed the purge solenoid valve which has a flow arrow pointing to engine, but. Let me understand this the vacuum from the intake manifold supposed to suck the...

    Extremely Low Mpg...why???

    Yeah that's what I thought about errors 81 and 82. Regarding the O2 sensor I must say they are old, I will try to find a sequence or procedure to test them and see if their output is within specs. As far as a vacuum leak, that could be another potential cause. I noticed a slight oil leak at...

    Extremely Low Mpg...why???

    First findings: PLEASE BARE WITH ME... I ran a KOEO scan and found error codes 81 and 82. Will these errors affect my fuel economy? The smog system has been removed for a long time all the hoses going to the two solenoids of the smog system were canceled and the solenoids removed. I inserted...

    Extremely Low Mpg...why???

    I truly appreciate all your help! Plugs: Today I'll check the plugs color and condition. I did that not too long ago and they were pretty normal. The gas smell: I had that smell before I cleaned the injectors, I had the impression that one or more were open at all times but I don't see any...

    Extremely Low Mpg...why???

    Thank you jrichker, you're always a good source of knowledge As I mentioned there are no error codes coming out of the ECM. Every time I run a scan I get code 11 on the "Self test fault code" and code 11 on the "Continuous Memory codes" that means the system is free of errors. That's what...

    Extremely Low Mpg...why???

    Delta Fk45 Dc Controller

    Hi all, currently I'm running the old Delta FK35 DC controller. 8 lost some of the pins where you set up the starting temperatures via jumpers. I ordered the new FK45 which took four days to receive. I was wondering if anyone is running this unit, and how is it working for you. Also how do you...

    Fox Cooling System Issues/questions

    Project succesfully completed my project: AC system removed, bracket was trimmed, running smaller WP to correct belt clearance, the smaller pulley caused temp to rise. Nothing dramatic but out of range from my desired specs. Changed the DCC fan controller settings and now the temperature is...

    Thanks mikestang63 :) I'm a cheapo guy, that is a Taurus fan. I built the aluminum shroud myself, fits and works great. To tell the truth I have done everything on my ride: Built the engine, transmission (Converted to Z specs), suspension, and rear end, plus all the conversions. It just feels...

    Jersey Joe, you are correct, that little filter is the one used on carburetors. I had some clearance issues with my rollers hitting the oil baffle on the passenger side valve cover so I grounded it off and some oil mist started going up to the TB. I cut a stainless steel mesh and placed it at...

    Thank a FoxMustangLvr!! No adapters are necessary, same plug type as the ones I'm running right now, but bay I'll run the fat ones and yes I need a MAF calibrated for that. And by the way I've been able to bring the temperature down using different jumper combinations on my FK35, and my temp is...

    On the 24 lbs injectors upgrade which ones do you guys preferred, or doesn't matter?

    That's correct, I've been reading that those 19 lbs injectors still enough for the mods I have. On the other hand I've read that 24 lbs are the ones to be used, according to TFS. Probably the 19 pounders are ok but I could be running beyond the 80% cycle duty.
