Reply #60 – November 20, 2008, 08:52:45 PM tomorrow im gonna try spraying carb cleaner on the joints and see if ones leaking. shouldnt be I just put on a new gasket because it was sucking coolent, but who knows.Then i will plug the egr vac port, and unplug the sensor on it(thats the EVP correct?) and see what that does. If I get no results then I will try my old TPS, and the gasket on the IAC is BRAND NEW, came with the car, I had to brand new IAC's in the trunk in boxes with gaskets. Quote Selected

Switching?My TC has a extra ground cable running from the battery to the intake. Not sure why, but the P.O. seemed to think it was necessary. If the gauges need an extra ground cause Ford in it's infinite wisdom didn't provide one good enough to begin with, then maybe yours need one on the motor too. Quote Selected

Masons stinkin lincoln number 2! Reply #73 – November 24, 2008, 12:09:30 AM Feel lucky that you have luck at all. It could be worse, you couldn't have a car at all ya know? Good luck, bad luck... luck is luck. You have an 19 year old car... theres bound to be some problems along the way.Im glad I grew up with no money, I had to learn how to fix things with what I had layin around. If it was broken I'd fix it. Quit complaining about rusty bolts and busted knuckles and rotted parts and get the thing done man. Quote Selected
