So this morning I drove the stang for a little bit and it seemed to run fine. I fixed my 41 and 91 codes and tweeked the distributor and some other things. I just drove it again and it was bogging whenever I started off in low rpm. I dont think it was because I was in too high of a gear because it even did it while I was in first gear. I also tweeked my f'ed up ignition. The part where the ignition cylinder is broken so the cylinder doesnt stay in there. The first time I drove it I had it taped in the on position so the car would stay running. Then I found out that if you turned it to the on position and pulled it out while it was still in the on position the car would stay on. I did that the second time i drove it.

When it idles the engine seems to run fine.

My temp is also messed up. The first time I drove it it seemed to be okay. The second time I drove it the temp would rise rather quickly when I had it in gear (past the red mark to where i couldnt see the needle). When i pressed the clutch the temp would go down to about half way. I put it in neutral and pressed the gas and the guage didnt move. I also checked the radiator and there wasnt any pressure and it was full.

Whats wrong??
