Well Ken from Kenne Bell seems to think that I have some unmetered air getting into the engine. I need to pull it all apart and look. I ruled out a piston because it wasn't smoking at all. I am going outside now to check the oil for signs of coolant so I can rule out a head gasket. Tomorrow I will have to pull it apart after work. Maybe I just got some crap on the MAF from the filter. we will see.

Yeah check your MAF and your plugs! damn dude....we'll get to the bottom of it

Dan_Soprano · Jul 1, 2004

Ok, just went out to check the oil......good. no coolant. Started it up and BAMO!! Runs fine!!!! I think that it has something to do with the ECU when it goes into closed loop after motor is warm. I don't have the time to let it warm up and screw with it now. Later tonight or tomorrow afternoon. Damn FORDS!!!!!!!!

someone my wife works with went to get their truck inspected and it failed because the tires were not the original size as indicated by the sticker in the door. They were a little bigger than stock(not rim size). They were told its a new law. Is this for real? If it is I think most of us will fail.

Thats when you have to know someone or know a shop that dosent care about that kind of stuff like myself. Thats why Ive been able to get a sticker for the past 3 yrs w/ no converters. Matter of fact Im headed up there next weekend and my inspection is out this month, bet you dollars to donuts that I come back w/ a yellow sticker.

Dan_Soprano · Jul 1, 2004

I'll be at Chris's. I'll need directions though. Mybe Mike and Fred can meet me at Mc D's in Topsham???

cold96snake · Jul 2, 2004

Not going to be there. Have fun guys.

Dan_Soprano · Jul 2, 2004

I'm going to NEDW tonight if I fix the car yo!!!!

Venom351R · Jul 2, 2004

Sorry that I cant make it at chris's this weekend. Chris thought this was my weekend off but its next weekend. If I wasent already doing OT then Id consider taking a vacation day.

Dan did you find out whats wrong w/ your car??

We got the brakes done on mine, the rear pass side caliper had a pin that was stuck which caused the pad to have constant contact w/ the back of the rotor. Wore the pad right down to the metal, I could tell there was metal on metal contact from the sounds it was making. The back of the rotor was groved to hell, needless to say I needed a new one but its all good and working again now. Feels nice to have brakes once again.

Oh yeah FYI for those who want to know I e-mailed Magnaflow awhile ago asking them about there CFM rate of there mufflers. They said there is no industry standard to mesure CFM rates on mufflers ( must be independent testing ) but they assured that they have the best flowing mufflers out there. They said there was an avg gain of 15RWHP and 14 FT LBS of TQ w/ my car and that was w/ out being blown. I hope Partshopper still has the $70 rebate when Im ready to order a set.
