ok i have a 87 mustang gt. it was running fine one min and i stopped at a stopsign and it started surging idle. so i drove it to town and was gonna get a tps andwhen i got out at the parts house it was overloading with fuel so bad it was smoking. long story short i have changed the TPS, THROTTLE AIR BYPASS VALVE, EGR VALVE, PVC VALVE, FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR, INJECTORS AND O-RINGS AND CAPS, AND TEMP. SENSOR, ALSO RAN A COMPRESSION TEST ON EACH CYLINDER AND ALL WERE 90LBS OR ABOVE AND CHECKED THE INTAKE GASKETS AND CHANGED THE PCM AND I DID A VOLTAGE CHECK ON THE INJECTORS, THEY ALL HAVE 12 VOLTS WITH KEY ON AND ENGINE OFF....... The only thing i havent changed is the intake, fuel pump, and map sensor. but after those im drawing a blank. help please.....correction just changed the map sensor and no luck.

As with any sort of "whats wrong" threads....the typical first answer is....

"have you run the engine codes yet?"

Without those, there is no point in guessing. 87's don't have a check engine light, so no idea of there are any codes stored. You need to run the engine off and engine running codes.

Don't just buy random parts and throw them on the car. Not really cost-effective. If a sensor is bad...the computer will tell you.
