![]() There is a reason the Duralast and other parts store brands are much cheaper than OEM Motorcraft, they are not even close to OEM grade. Ok, well for starters, you need to be running Motorcraft wires, not Duralast. It's to the point I dont want to drive it to town, and the MPG's are HORRIBAL too.Ĭan anyone shed some light on this? and I'd post codes but im not sure on how to do so. It's not black smoke, its a whiteish smoke and while driving it'll hesitate/bog down (I commented on a thread stinger I belive posted about the bog issue and he made it a seperate thing, but I'm REALLY tired of this annoyance). So rich you can see smoke coming from behind and it smells like straight up raw gas. Could it be a stuck EGR valve? ignition coil?īut, I'm pretty positive its running rich though. 36" gap (Too big?) and a Mobil 1 full synthetic oil change with a K&N oil filter which it doesnt consume oil so I wouldn't jump the gun that its burning oil and the idle is intermittionly crappy and the throttle response doesn't seem what it should be (I've cleaned the throttle body too). 90v, new MAF/VAM sensor with a K&N filter on it, new duralast (stock replacement) plug wire set, motorcraft platnum (its all my local parts store had in stock) plugs set to. replaced and set the IACV, new TPS sensor set to. I've cut off the cat and muffers and straight piped it with 2-1/2" pipe, replaced the vacuume lines at and around the turbo, the small vacuume lines on the passanger side behind the shock tower, and the bigger vacuume line going from the stock heatsink (intercooler) that runs along the firewall. It seems to me like its running WAY to rich. ![]() I'm beating my head against a brick wall on what the he** is going on with it. Hey everyone, I have a 1988 Ford 2.3 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe with the 5 speed. ![]()
