88 gt problems

fast5.0lx · January 29th, 2011, 04:32 PM

Well I haven't posted in here in a long time, but i'm in need of some help. I just recently purchased an 88gt. From what i can tell, it has the stock sd ecu. Explorer intake, bbk 70mm tb, bbk shorties, off road h-pipe.

What it's doing is running like total crap. I replaced the dist with a new msd dist, a msd coil, new plugs, new wires. And it's still doing it. I pull the plugs and there flooded with gas.

This is when i noticed it has 30# injectors in it. Would this cause the flooding problem?

88s didnt have mass air unless someone converted it they tend to not run real great with to many mods

foxcobra262 · January 29th, 2011, 04:37 PM

and 30lb injectors are a little bit big for the mods you have

fast5.0lx · January 29th, 2011, 04:40 PM

its not mass air. it's still sd.

fast5.0lx · January 29th, 2011, 04:59 PM

i know the 30# injectors are to big. But would those injectors on a stock sd ecu cause it to flood

FastStang91Lx · January 29th, 2011, 05:12 PM

If it doesn't have a chip burnt for the 30's, get them out of there. IT WILL NOT RUN RIGHT! Speed density will not adjust for those.

fast5.0lx · January 29th, 2011, 07:15 PM

Im ordering a set of 19# tonight. I didnt put those 30's in there. But i'll damn sure be the one to take them out. Thanks for the responces.

FastStang91Lx · January 29th, 2011, 07:54 PM

You should be able to find 19 lb injectors all over. Hell, I throw mine away. I wouldn't buy new unless you really want to. If you upgrade your heads to anything better than a gt40, you'll need 24, and then mass air or a tune. So you'd essentially be buying them twice. Search ebay, or ask on here if anyone has any laying around that you can get for next to nothing.

fast5.0lx · January 30th, 2011, 02:44 AM

yea i dont really want to buy a new set, since i do plan on upgrading. But i gotta get this car going.

FastStang91Lx · January 30th, 2011, 07:39 AM

You can always try the junkyard too. 19's were in so many different ford cars and trucks. If you know you have 30's (red top) then I'm sure you already know you'd be looking for yellowish/orangish top ones.

fast5.0lx · January 30th, 2011, 12:48 PM

yea. Have you heard anything about the venom fuel injectors

ryanw · January 30th, 2011, 01:43 PM

you know when double post you can delete it... click on edit, click on delete then go to letf side of screen click on delete message then confirm delete on right hand side. I know that sounds like a lot but it takes 5 sec...

fast5.0lx · January 30th, 2011, 01:58 PM

well i know it now. you can post to tell me that but not a helpful answer to a question. thanks for taking time to read the post.

flyin ryan · January 30th, 2011, 02:11 PM

^^ lol what a doucebag.. but anyways put a want add on craigslist in your area for 19lb mustang injectors and you'll get a set for $20 or go to a junkyard and get them even cheaper just make sure the pintle caps are intact.

What is there to help with ? It sounds like faststang91lx already figured it out. Now put some 19lb in there and see if it fixed it. I wasnt trying to be a smart ass with my last post, i really was trying to help

FastStang91Lx · January 30th, 2011, 05:08 PM

Also, there is a fuel injector service kit on ebay for 15 bucks that includes the pintle caps and o rings and such.

It was the last part where you said it sounds like a lot. It seemed smartass. I apologize if it wasn't. It just came across that way.

its cool, some times it hard to say some thing with out some one else taking it the wrong way on a computer. any ways keep us updated , id like to know if the 19lb work

fast5.0lx · January 31st, 2011, 08:02 AM

True, so true. I'll be swapping injectors this weekend. Then i'll also be doing the maf swap

fast5.0lx · February 20th, 2011, 10:29 AM

well more problems, I picked up a set of injectors from my uncle. And I think there bad, they did look kinda old. Well I put em in and now it will idle better, no flooding of the plugs, but it won't run worth a damn. It won't rev over 2500rpms, it won't pull the car, it just all around feels like a slug. Plus now it's over heating. I was out there messing with it and a few times it seemed like it got a kick in the ass and would rev to 5000. But then it would drop back down.
