Still running like crap part 2

[Guero]

So after replacing my ECT and IAT, and my coil and distributer and TFI it still ran like ****. Computer still pulls timing down to 10*. So I decided to put my timing at 25* and run without the spout. It still ran like ****!!! My rpms were acting up going from like 4k to 6k in a blink of an eye then backfiring. I quickly stopped and went back home slowly. What else should I do????


By now most of you are tired of me lol!!! Imagine how I feel that I actually have to work on it!

you pulled your plugs to check them? how they look?

what your discribing sounds exactly like when i had 2 plug wires mixed up


bad injector? can you swap the stockers back in for a test?

 

[Guero]

I will check them. I haven't checked my injectors but I am running rich. its in the 13's and 12's at part throttle and usually never sees 14.

Did you datalog ECT yet?

 

[Guero]

Yes I did. Hottest it got was 210. Even when it was at 140(Ithink that was the lowest) when I first started it still ran the same. Pulled timing.

 

[BlueOvalStangGT]

What do the other sensors look like? ACT? A/F?

 

[Guero]

ACT reads in 100's* A little hotter or colder depends if Im at a light or at speed. A/f reads in the 13's 12's at idle or part throttle. Like I said its not right cuz its usually at high 14's.

How bout a bad MAF?

 

[HISSIN50]

Guero, I'd continue to pursue the timing aspect. How poorly did the car run? It should have run halfway decently (note that I havent run a locked timing car at 6K RPM though ).

When your SPOUT is intalled, If you change the global spark in the TwEECer, does that do anything? If you are defaulting to 10*, can you just shift your spark tabling instead?

 

[Guero]

The car ran decent till about 3k. When it backfired and the Rpms shot up to 6k in a blink of an eye were i stopped and went home. What do mean shift my table?

 

[urban96]

when your under any kind of load does it backfire?

i know u said u checked the wires but what your discribing is exactly what happen to me when i had 2 of em mixed up

 

[Guero]

No I know what that feels like Urban. Im sure its not that. With the spout no. It just feels like it sputters and revs up really really slow!

 

[urban96]

maybe its a bad ECU

 

[Guero]

That would be my last guest to. Im going tomorrow to a Mustang shop and see if they can help

 

[urban96]

if you were local i still have my stock ECU you could swap in to see if that was the culprit

 

[Guero]

Im going junkyarding tomorrow. Hope I see a 94-95 Mustang!!! It has to be stick to correct?

 

[urban96]

since u have a tweecer u can turn off the auto stuff

 

[Guero]

???

 

[urban96]

if you get an auto computer itll work, just adjust the settings for when it wants to shift

 

[HISSIN50]

Regarding what Urban is talkin about, the prompt is something like a:
Trans load type switch.

An AODE is 6 and a stick is 0 or something like that (just thrown out for people to shoot down ).

If you cannot get the computer to advance the timing with the SPOUT installed, and the wiring doesnt have an open (check it at the computer, because a cut wire or loose pin will create this issue), then the puter is likely bad. Otherwise, we hate for you to waste a day at the junkyard for nothing.

Good luck bud.
