Damn man, That is perplexing!!!!! Have you tried cleaning the electrical connectors to your coil packs?

jasons_98gt · January 31st, 2009, 03:02 PM

is a matter of fact i did that as well i bought some good electrical cleaner and did the coil harnesses as well as unbolted the grounds on both sides and cleaned them up with some sandpaper then i cleaned the connectors to about basically every sensor i take care of her and this is the thanks i get!
must be truth to the old saying if it has tits or wheels it will give you problems

be careful your car looks alot like mine, did the same thing as mine, and i was like Yay 100,000 miles and it hasnt blown up. 3 days later sparkplug dents my hood. howdafux? idk. compression went crazy and blew the threads right outa the head Dented the friggin hood. Yay Cylinder #3 FTW

jasons_98gt · February 2nd, 2009, 07:29 PM

damn sorry to hear.....im cool with the compression i did a compression test im going to have it hooked up to a scanner im sure its something dumb

vfast · February 2nd, 2009, 07:31 PM

are the plug wires new?

what I think might be a problem is carbon inside the plug boot

Trick Tuners · February 2nd, 2009, 07:35 PM

I would suspect a vacuum leak, but solving a problem with no data is like throwing darts in the dark. If you can hook up a vacuum gauge you could rule that out and go from there.

97S281 · February 2nd, 2009, 09:06 PM

Maybe it's time to pay a pro to do a diagnosis?

Thats what i'm thinking... Sounds like you've done everything else man! This sucks wish i could be of some help...

jasons_98gt · February 2nd, 2009, 09:35 PM

eh hell thanks appreciate the help anyways guys i did check for vac leaks and found nothing there but yea im going to have a guy that used to do mechanical work for me run a diagnostics this guy knows his shit if theres anyone i can trust its him......i told him about my egr valve rattling and he said the dpfe sensor might be going bad but he can crack the problem hopfully

jasons_98gt · February 2nd, 2009, 09:40 PM

i also bought a set of injectors off of ebay for 60 bucks saturday guy claims theres 60k on them but im gonna have that guy put em on his machine and clean them so i will have a decent set of fi's

jasons_98gt · February 5th, 2009, 02:35 PM

was supposed to take the car today to have it diagnose now the fucker wont start

im so pissed i just drove the damn thing last night it ran good other than used alot of gas and have a rough idle...got in today to start it it started started shaking real bad stalled NOW THE MOTHER EFFIN THING WONT START JUST CRANKS

4.6LMadness · February 5th, 2009, 02:57 PM

try unpluging ur IAC and adjust ur idle screw to make up the diff. and see if it idles any better

jasons_98gt · February 5th, 2009, 03:17 PM

i put a new iac valve in it the other day and i didnt make any difference

jasons_98gt · February 5th, 2009, 03:21 PM

rechecked my fuel pressure and put a new filter on it the same day as the new iac valve and i checked the fuel pressure today with key on and its getting 42lbs at the fuel rail getting spark from the coils

jasons_98gt · February 6th, 2009, 01:46 PM

went out today and the car started right up but the think is barely running it sounds so bad the motor is damn near rocking side to side its shaking so bad idle is idling up and down up and down tried disconnecting a few sensors maf iac tps etc didnt work pulled the plug wires one at a time its aching bright blue sparks fuel pressure is holding no check engine light cant find any vac leaks looked for something disconnected nothing found man am i fucking stumped

jasons_98gt · February 8th, 2009, 06:27 PM

back in business that fucker is to smart that i took my car to i had a bad coolant temp sensor it wasn't in the right ohm range i guess thats why it wasnt setting a cel light and he also replaced my cam sensor same problem the ohm's were below spec no more surging or rough idle

its a good day and he only charged me the price of the sensors and 20 bux for the diagnostics ford parts to woohoo

I'd change that oil, too.

At least sniff the oil through the filler neck and if it smells like gas then change it.

jasons_98gt · February 10th, 2009, 04:00 PM

2 steps ahead of ya i changed it once i got the car back

MIKE 04 GT · February 10th, 2009, 04:02 PM
