89 5.0 mod prob, take your pic!
89 GT 5.0 5 spd
Just installed Trick Flow heads and cam. BBK SSI intake, fuel regulator,cold air intake, Pro-M Racing MAF, Ford Racing 24lb fuel injectors, yes ordered MAF to match. Just got her together, she fired right up for timing, but wouldnt idle, started her 2-3 times, kept her going with the pedal, wouldnt idle,timed at 10 TDC or whatever factory is. Vacuum is fine. The thing is she started right up but then after a couple times wont start at all. Also the BBkSSI fuel crossover tube is leaking. So gotta tear that appart and change to try and fix the leak. But the question is why wont she start again? I heard that a Idle Air Control spacer will help it idle but also read that a ford mechanic told someone they are a gimmic and dont do anything. Since she started and ran, timing should be within limits but it just wont fire up again. She could just be flooded. Gotta fix the fuel leak first too though. I did a lot of mods for sure so could be a tough trouble shoot. Any ideas? Thanks! |

I took a chance on the fuel leak problem and lost. The crossover tube is leaking. But with the start problem I might just be F-d. I could be taking my engine apart and putting it back together all summer before I get it running. Heres mo So I just got my car all back together. Trick flow heads, cam, roller timing set. It started right up but couldnt get it to idle. Then it just wouldnt start at all. So the timing should be close enuf at least to get it going. First off the timing set that trick flow sends requires to counter sink new screw into your stock cam thrust plate. So had to go to a machine shop just to get that done. Also Theres a ring that goes in between the timing gear and the block. Im hoping that its not the reason it wont run, maybe its to tight on the cam or something. So I know vacuum is fine and timing is pretty much ok, but it just wont start now. Anyone have any ideas of what I can try? Im praying I dont end up having to take the engine apart 3 times just trying to figure out the problem. |
