Rich bank 2 and 1, Bank 2 is worse. I have a LTFT of around 29%


The earlier 3.0ls ran 14lb/hr (14.5), up thru 1997 when fuel pressure changed to 60psi, and they switch to 21lb/hr

I know im an idiot for throwing them away, I didn't know how resilient injectors were.

Also wanna mention them injectors got all switched up haphazardly during my head change. Now the richest of the banks is bank one. Maybe it really is these remanufactured injectors. I mean they came in a plastic bag for crying out loud.

I am fetal position comfort rocking, give me a straight jacket already.
 
Doing all this work yourself you are still saving money. And working on mechanical things, persistence is a very valuable trait for a mechanic. You may have to walk away and go sit in the house for a day or so, but then get a new idea and be back at it. Those are the guys that get things fixed.
 
21 pounds an hour had fuel pouring from the tail. Swear on my life. 14 sounds right. Model number for the injectors I thought were bad and threw in the dumpster? lol. Motorcraft 4L5Z9F593A Thats the OEM injector and thats what I had in when this whole thing started. Im about to buy them again lofl. Im good at throwing money away thats for sure.


INJECTORS CONFIRMED. Don't know if it's going to completely fix it but I did an injector bank-to-bank switch and the EXACT SAME fuel trim parameters followed placement. So Motorcraft $280 shorter but they are on the way. BTW. I put a new coil in and my check engine light has not come on since. -24% Bank 1 LTFT is the worst. I think the PCM throws a code at - or + 29% but I really do not know. Either way. When the injectors are installed I will report back. It seems the coil was losing gusto for sure though.

Just ordered a boroscope, God bless technology. God bless. THE USA
 
Just ordered a boroscope, used sandpaper to deck the heads. Sprayed and vacuumed a million times but I still know what I did. Doing another compression test after I install these OEM injectors. God bless technology. God bless the U.S.A.
 
You should have said "God bless CORPORATE America profits." I think God wants us to support China given the amount of products our "patriotic" corporate leaders have them manufacture.

I said God bless America for technology lol, but hey, your right.
 
Did I tell anybody I switched banks 1 and 2, injector for injector, and the fuel trims switched respectively? Def injectors. But yesterday I was spraying some cleaner into the oil pan to wash out any residual crud and the red straw nozzle shot off into the pan, THATS why I ordered the cheapo boroscope. I hope I can fish it out. It looks like dropping the tank is a NIGHTMARE and if I was going down that far id almost like to try to re-ring the pistons or something while im at it????Any thoughts?
 
The red straw will probably sink to the bottom, and get sucked up into the pickup screen to the oil pump. No big deal, it won't hurt anything.

What about the crank and all the connector rods? Will it chop it up small enough to fit through the oil pickup screen? The idea of filling her with oil and turning her over gives me the heebie-jeebies. I would be the "one guy" who doesnt get away with it.
