    Default Another Mustang SN95 5.0

    Hey guys, I haven't posted in quite some time. I ran out of steam with a really straight oxford white Foxbody roller I bought last year. With trying to do a honeymoon this year, and adult bills I couldn't take not having something drive-able.
    What I know
    1995 Mustang GT
    117k miles
    Liberty Gears rebuild Non WC T5
    373 Gears
    Gt40p Heads with springs
    Unknown comp cam (it's suppose to be an xe282hr), but it sounds more like a magnum cam compared to other youtube searches.
    Emission shorty headers, OR/H with Dynomax bullets.
    24lb injectors with a calibrated MAF (I haven't checked for a chip).

    I picked her up in Roseville Mi, the dude was pretty cool. It had valve train issues, and I knew this going into the buy. It had 1.7RR's, they 12 of them were loose, one broke, 1 bent pushrod and a hollow lifter :S. I swapped my old e7 stamped rockers, and replaced 1 pushrod, and I put my 351lifters in it as well.

    I had my buddy come over tonight, I set the base timing to 11* and she pursssss now .
    I'll be keeping this up to date, unlike my white Foxbody.

    Thanks man!! It sounds healthy, but the short 50ft drive I had didn't feel strong. It'll be on the road next week, and open her up.

    Minor update.
    I've been chasing my ass with timing this car. The car doesn't run any better from 5* - 15*, I found two bad plug wires and one plug that was broken. I was able to get it back together with new copper plugs, and wires. I still had the same issue, I restabbed the distributor, again, and set it around 8-9*. I drove it for 5 miles and noticed it was getting worse, acting like its got choked up. Sitting at the camp fire I realized I have 19lb injectors with a 24lb calibrated maf, I was told it was 24lbs and I never thought twice.

    When I left my families house I unplugged the maf, put it in limp mode and she ran good all the way home.
    I'm currently pricing out options for another maf. I had this issue on my old Blue foxbody, calibrated Maf with 19lb injectors...

    Would it be cheaper to run 24lb injectors & use the current MAF?

    Probably not, I picked up a re-manufactured MAF for $80. I haven't looked for fuel injectors for some time, but I thought new 24lb were just under $200.

    Whelp somehow I got the injector color mixed up with the injector top color. I have blue top injectors(24lbs), but they were dirty. I swapped back to the calibrated MAF, and I've been having idle issues. I found the EGR was bad, I picked up another egr valve and the car hasn't been the same since. I started having a surging idle, I found I didn't have a good seal on the EGR, I used carb cleaner. I redid my gasket/rtv and it's gotten worse.

    I've got some CEL codes, but I'm having a hard time reading them or figuring them out.
    As of right now, it starts, has a low idle, doesn't respond to throttle and dies. Timing is back to 0*.
    I'll be going over my Vacuum lines again, probably pull off my upper intake. I may need some help with the Codes, I'll post up the video tonight. I tend to over think things, so I get a normal 111 pass code, but when I watch the video again I think maybe its 312.
    **Side note, I do have 19lbs injectors from my 351, and old explorer build.
