well I've been driving her daily and for the most part she's been doing great
ive had to replace the throttle position sensor, and i swapped a couple iac valves around,
i think i could still use a new one sometimes my idle is a little funny.
today i went out to fire her up and she wouldn't start, she turned over had fuel had spark had power to Ecm ended up being a bad Crank position sensor
35$ and she was running like a top,
i also ventured out for my first long haul and tow.
i had to tow my brothers friends mercury mountaineer 5.0 v8 awd home, it broke down about 45 minutes out of town so i loaded up the tow dolly and set sail
She actually handled better then i expected under a load, almost as if the load helped to smooth out the ride a little bit,
she made it back home in one piece without any issues
only one little problem I've noticed that i can't pinpoint
everyonce in a random while ill get a anti energy surge, where it feels almost like there is no power, whether it be spark or fuel for .5 seconds(a blink of an eye) then it kicks back in like nothing hanppend but its enough to give a little jolt, and make you say something aint right, i had a similar problem once with a lose ground at the PCM but everything is nice and tight.
if anyone has and any similar problems id love to hear your ideeers.
promise il get pictures soon, once i get my lockouts in I'm going to get some flex shots as well, see if i can't get my boss to pick up a wheel with the trac loader
btw whats up with ORTOTM? i see there wasn't a weiner chosen for october?
