So I have been working on a 89 5.0 that belongs to a friend and I am getting no where. I am so frustrated I stopped working on the car for a month, but now I have started looking at it again.
A little background:
Two years ago the car had 110K miles and I pulled the engine out and tore it down it the short block. I added a new oil pump, new timing gears/chain, new cam, heads, intake, TB, Mass Air, injectors, S-Trim, e-fan, and A FMS aluminum radiator. The car made 478RWHP and ran great.
Fast forward to last summer.
The right head gasket blew. I did not have time to mess with it so he took it to someone else to change the head gaskets. Once he got the car back it was detonating very bad. I went to look at the car and the T-rex pump was not working. The owner knows nothing about working on cars and just was not listening for it. He had a Walbro HP pump in it to replace the T-rex. After this pump was installed the car has not run right.
What the car is doing:
It gets 80 miles to a tank of gas.
The car will not rev above 3000RPM when floored.
The car has started leaking oil. i.e. To much Crank Case Pressure
The car over heats
Things I have checked.
- Checked MAF wiring and Changed Sensors
- New Plugs
- Changed by-pass valve
- Checked/replaced PCV system
- Check fuel pressure
- Changed Coil
- Changed Computer
- I have hooked my SnEEC-IV up and looked at all the sensors
-----TPS looks good
-----Timing looks good
-----Injector Duty Cycle looks good
-----Injector Pulse Width looks good
-----ACT and ECT sensors look good
-----MAF looks good at idle
-----O2's look good
When I floor the car and it bogs the MAF only goes to 2.5 - 3 volts. This is the only bit of useable info I got from the snEEC.
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS?
Thanks
Brent
