Continuing saga of a rough running engine


I had a 95 mustang with a blow engine. I got the block refurbished and with 2 refurbished heads had a professional to install the engine. For eight months the car was running like a dream giving 24 mpg. Two weeks ago the engine started to run rough. The check engine light came on giving a code P0305. Gas fume cam though the air vents. I changed plugs wires but there was not any improvemnts. The check codes did change to P0500. I noticed that on spark plug # 2 was wet. I change the injector but no effect. I change the cam senser and the coil pack but no improvements. With the rough runnimg engine I am lucky to get 10 mpg.

Any sugestion.

k so

p0305 is misfiring
p0550 is a speed sensor error...

yeah dude no clue.... some one screwed up something to go from a mis fire to a speed sensor. best you got is a full diagnositics test and a haynes manual and try to trouble shoot from there. maybe someone else will be able to help out.
