okay let me start out by saying I just had 3.73 gears installed in my SC today. When they picked up the car it ran real good that day. Now under the slightest throttle and boost it misfires terribly like it is running on 5 cylinders. I had a problem of rough running late last year and I installed the teflon upper IC gaskets that I think Tbird88 makes (I purchased them from Mike Albee)
all seemed well...till tonight.
Mods to date: dual exhaust no cats, raised top, super coupe performance intake, 73mm MAF, and now the gears.
I replaced my MAF with stock and received nothing. May 2002 just before World Ford Challenge 5 I replaced plugs and wires with Ford PP plugs and Magnecore wires, plugs and wires have at the very most 25,000 miles on them. I think my raised top may not be sealed correctly??? how do I check for a leak there?
LAte last year the car threw a check engine code at me and it was the EGR valve. That is only an emisions thing right? Presently the CEL will come on and go off on the highway after 20 minutes. Tonight it does not come on at all. Last year I also had to replace my alternator and when I did I got in a hurry to drive it and did not allow the tape gaskets to sit for more than a couple of hours......so now the teflon gaskets. I said after the alternator if I had any more problems with this car I was going to put it up on my car lot or ebay and sell it.. I am so frustrated with this damn thing I am ready to sell sell sell. I love this car and I love the Sc community, I have made alot of friends here over the years.
Thank you very much in advance I know someone will know what to do.
