[QUOTE="MadStang, post: 775147, member: 10532"] Lee, you are a wealth of knowledge thank you. Gonna make it slightly easier to resolve the matter. Little update here. Changed the fuel filter, car started right away but still had that miss at idle. So I decided to just stand in front of the engine bay and just listen. What did I hear? A whistling noise. Found where it was coming from. It was an extra vacuum line on the plenum (plenum came from an Automatic Cougar). I plugged it up with a plastic plug and RTV. well there was gaps in the seal. Took it off put a rubber cap on it. The car ran quite a bit smoother but still, have a miss and hanging idle. Also decided to change the oil and run some seafoam through it. Smoked like crazy for a bit, put some sea foam in the tank, hopefully that helps clean the injectors for the time being. The car overall, didn't change much as far as the things I did. I did the cheaper things first also they needed to be done anyway. I didn't drive it very far so I can't give accurate description of the differences at this time but I will tomorrow since I have a couple long drives. I'll see if I can find anymore vacuum leaks or anything. I'm going to get a tune for no cats ASAP so I can rule that out for anything. Keep throwing suggestions at me guys, Lee, I'll take those injectors. And yes my injectors are at 95% duty cycle... my zip is 92026. Tell me what the shipping will be. Thanks man! [/QUOTE]
