Hey guys its been awhile since I had to post here (guess thats a good thing).
Well anyways yesterday I did the foglight rewire useing a relay and it worked I was excited, so buttoned everything up and parked the car for the day.
Today I go to pick up my girl and as soon as I backed out of my driveway and slipped the clutch in first it felt like a ton of bricks and made me feel like I was in for a long ride. It was running rough, like your in 5th gear trying to pull a semi up a hill rough. It felt like it didnt want to go anywhere. So I figured hey I had the batter disconnected for awhile yesterday and it is pooring rain today the computer just needs to learn. Well an hour and a half later I given up on the computer idea and I was back home with my girl.
Yada yada yada, I go to take her home 3-4 hours later I get in the car and go down the street and its a miracle it feels perfect. Me being the realist knew it wasnt for real, so I popped in fourth gear had the rpm's at 1K and said hello again to my rough running gremlin. An hour later im back here with minor wiplash and still shakeing from the nice rough ride.
So here is the real description, it either feels like an ignition problem (something dropping out) or like the whole thing is getting flooded. When I run it thru the rpms at a moderate rate it comes back to life around 2500 rpm's , than goes back to running like crap. So Im trying to think what it will be, tomorow I am going to pick up spark plugs since the engine is about 50,000 miles new (what should I gap them at , maybe at stock?) I have a set of motorsport wires lieing around (have motorsport wires on there now). Then from there I dont know, Ill list my mods below. Any ideas apreciated, Granite I work at a ford dealership I dont always like to bring my problems there (time = money) Thanks guys.
