O.K. here we go. I'll start at the begining. I picked up a 89 cougar XR7. It was in pretty good shape and I picked it up pretty cheap, but it wasn't running very good. Hard starting, rough/wandering idle. I started w/ the basics- plugs and wires. No change. A friend let me borrow some parts from his car, (90 XR7) so I swapped the coil, module, and the computer. Still no difference. So I do a compression test. #3 cyl isn't holding so I tear it down and have the heads gone through, new fel pro gaskets, head bolts, timing chain, water pump. Then when i'm half way through putting it back together I find THIS WEBSITE and I get bit by the performance bug. MPII blower, MP plenum, MP 3 1/2" cai, 85mm TB, asp underdrives , 5% pulley, ported manifolds, 190lph fuel pump & 38lb injectors. Well as you might have guessed, I'm pretty excited. So I put it together-( very carefully) and the damn thing won't start. What do you think guys? CPS? Cam sensor? Its got spark and fuel. Just won't fire!!
