What do you intend to do with this car in the long run? What are your goals?

I do plan on putting on heads and cam and intake. But if i didnt need to go bigger yet I didnt want to. My car started idleing weird. It would idle at 1800rpms Then I would shut it off and start it back up and it would be fine. Then today I let it sit in my buddy driveway for a few minutes and it started idleing up and down then climbed to 1000rpms then I rev it to 2000rpms and it took a min for it to come back down to 1000rpms then I shut it off and it wouldnt stay running. It died on me twice. I rev it one good time and it ran fine on the way home. I replaced the IAC and TPS a few months ago. Its weird.

Oh you need to fix your leak to Brad

If you've already done the conversion I bet that MAF is bad.


My leak is a piece of 2 1/2" flexpipe mated to 2 1/2" on one side and 1 7/8" on the other Eventually I'll get real exhaust. Hopefully when all is said and done we'll have a reocurrence of the last time you were at the track and your stang got whooped on by the Escort because you couldn't hook Except next time it will be because your car is slow.

Map sensor vac line on the backside of your intake?

Check that out. Mine came off and my car went from smooth everything to shitty idle, blowing black smoke, running extremely lean and my exhaust and cats were glowing orange when I pulled up and figured it out after I smelled my exhaust burning for 15 minutes...
