You are a GOOD MAN FOE i checked that circuit a hundred times before with IAC issues. It is a shame how those ford prints are so messed up. Dont feel bad that is why i double and triple check them. It has happened to me more than once. I have chased many a BALLOON IN my career. Thanks for being honest THE BIG ROOSTER!!!

TFYK, I did disconnect the salt and pepper shakers, egr solenoid, and air pump solenoid and reconnected the EEC relay the turned to key to "run". The fuse is still good.

I haven't heard anything, so what I did was I made sure my battery was charged up, then I started with the pump solenoids and plugged everything back in one at a time each time turning the key to "run". I then tried turning the A/C fan on and the rear defroster on and the 10 amp. fuse is still good.

Like I said...This car is possessed. I put the 10amp. fuse in line, unplugged every thing TFYK suggested. I plugged in the EEC relay, hook up one wire at a time and checked the fuse each time and now everything is hooked back up and the fuse IS STILL GOOD! I did notice a relay was making a funny hissing sound so I disconnected it, put a slice in between each connector inside the relay (tested each wire individually) and the fuse is still good. I cleaned it up and now it is clicking like it should when it gets power. So, I figure the problem must be when I turn the key to start. So, everything hooked up I try to start the car and it starts RIGHT up. No hesitation at all. I checked the timing with my light and it is at about 4 degrees BTDC. When I move the distributor, it is as close to 8-10 degrees as I can get. I still need to get a tach. so I know what RPM I'm at. It starts good and runs good for a while then starts to run rough. First thing I'm going to do is replace that relay.

Daminc,
          Your talking about the yellow/black wire. That's just my MSD box. That's been there forever. I'm going to remove it and see if it's acting up. I'm going to clean my fuel injectors again, just to make sure all is well, and it will give me another chance to make sure the connectors are alright. I need to buy me a tach. so I can set my timing, and replace that old relay.

hey big rooster,
do you have a cross over diagram of integrating an MSD ignition system into a fox chassis 5.0?

thinking this wiring needs double checked.
