are you kidding me!! Ahhhhhhh. Hahaha

M@$!we f$:$;&!!!!!!! Omfg! :-( shit!

Well... Ummm looks like my 30 buck tool will pay off.

Between shit happening at work and school (dumdass me thought MBA would be a good idea) this has been a rough week. This series of posts made me LOL. I know laughing at other peoples misfortunes is not nice, but it sure is fun. On a serious note, I wouldn't race the car until you get the tune fully worked out by someone you trust. If I lived by you I would take it to Adam. Good luck.

I won't lay into you Ted, I'm all caught up on sleep now, so you're stupity isn't bothering me quite as much now. :idea:



I just wish I lived closer so I could watch, instead fo just reading about it.

hahah.. just watch me fall into the abyss?!?! not help me out of it?? :hammer: You guys are my only link to the real world. Most of this stuff is far past me. Your the only Procharged Brother I have left (after Fin1 abandoned me for another 100hp and 200lbs tq). We're swimming in a see of over priced TS sucka's. I just feel bad that I have not had the chance to represent with all the "other" issues :tdown:

Dont worry about it. I have made some friends on these forums over the years even though many of us have not met. As friends we share the fun times along with the bad times(God knows I have allot of those). To me I dont mind sharing my F'ed up times. The perfect thread is one where you can get some info yet have some fun.

As for not racing Stanly forces me into it all the time. I'm not hard core to him but he was very close in beating me with his new addition (Jba ST). Since I'm running on a low key tune the best I was able to get was 12.6. IT doesnt matter how much HP I have I cant get my 60ft times under 2.0!. The good news is that I beat everyone I went against today (chevys and a firebird dude that though he was bad ass revving at every single F'ing thing.. Stanly took out a new GTO 2 times I believe.. On my last run the car was putting out again. I think I still have other issues going on. While driving home if I step on the gas a little at low rpm it almost sounds like a manifold leak?! I will replace the right o2 this weekend and look into an exhaust leak of some sort. Sooner or later the answer will come up.

I am glad the car made it home on its own power and that you had fun. The answer will come up sooner if you take it to a pro. You have a lot of $ in it already, don't wait too long and window the block. I am not the track star that most of these guys are but with the stock suspension and M & H DRs my 60's dropped to 1.7s. As soon as the snow stops failing here I have a bunch of parts to put on that should get my 60's in the 1.5 range. I should remember this from all the threads you have posted but is you car a stick or auto? If it is a stick my best times come from slipping the clutch instead of dumping it. It takes a little practice to do that and cut a good light, but that is part of the fun.

Careful Bub.....there's one out there with a pair of hairdryers that'll ruin your day too.


They dont need too.. I do a fine job at F'ing things up so they wont need to boost at all. :tdown: The sad thing is that I really dont think this thing has really been fully functioning ever since the rebuild! I went out the other day and got the other o2 for the driver size. I cleared the code today and installed it. I started her up.. no error.. but when I stepped on the gas it did the same thing and rpm dipped down and was stumbling. I turned off the car and started and the engine light came back on. (same as before).. As normal god is giving me the finger.. as I went to the computer room to take pictures, my camera of 3 years picks today to not work! Its hosed too! The o2 I pulled out is worse then the other side. But none of that matters as I just paid 100+ on o2s and 30 of a dumb ford wrench and have again nothing to show for it. Only thing I can think to do now is take it to get checked for an exhaust leak anywhere and if that fails to take it to ford to have them run it through their diagnostics and get raped. The car has been tuned from 2 other tuners and this issues is still here. I think Ravi was able to tune some of it out.. but I think that just cased the other issues I got later (aka F'ed up 8 cylinder).

Tbut when I stepped on the gas it did the same thing and rpm dipped down and was stumbling. I turned off the car and started and the engine light came back on. (same as before)..

Did you check the wire from one side to the other for damage? I always have to give that wire one more shove to keep it from getting pinched between the block and bellhousing when I put the trans in... It runs around the back of the intake - in fact all the injector/plug wires run around there...

I suppose it's possible you are just dousing it with fuel, but that should result in a different code - not one complaining about the wiring... ("voltage low" as I recall right? That generally means something is grounding out...

I checked the wire running back there and every thing looked like new (only14K on the car. harness and everything looked good. Fuel issue at start up was taken care of from the last tuner. When I brought it in it was pretty bad.

Holy sweaty dog balls!! While I was in my stoop drinking beer cursing the Dons challenge I told Stanly about the other things I can think about.. We went back to the car and look what he found this on the passenger side.

Thinking of who had it last.. SFI installed a bung hole for a/f connection... maybe someone else

Could this be it.. the answer to everything?????????????????

Well, it will run like crap and when you stomp on it, it will likely wiggle around and totally screw up the PCM...

Not sure why it would complain about bank 2 though unless you have them backwards? Which BTW causes some bizzarre behavior that is tough to diagnose other than looking at the harness and saying "oops!"

At any rate, the PCM can't handle an exhaust leak there without doing bad things - I hit my H-pipe on something and it was leaking right at that flange until I bent things back into place... Ran like crap - could not "tune it out" no matter how hard I tried (I gave up concluding the only possible cause was a leak and sure enough I found one - not quite that bad though).
