          I don't know why I couldnt figure that. Pretty obvious. It ran for a bit. Water pump needs messed with. It seemed to run rich. Thought these type of mods would leans things out.

            if manifold vacuum is low, it runs rich. Make sure the vac supply to the MAP is good. I did an intake swap once and found the port had crap in it so the MAP had no vacuum. I had another, unrelated issue where the EGR passage was finally not clogged, and the EGR valve was opening too much because of a bad regulator. Never knew it was messed up until I actually had EGR flow through the intake. It bogged badly off-idle and generally ran poorly unless the egr vac line was unhooked.

              Its about to get guages and a tune. A dyno is to follow. With bbk headers, duals, and ported explorer intakes what can be expected. This is before maf and cam. I'm hoping 200 hp

                Fixed the water pump and got the intakes on. The idle is spuratic and it dies at stoplights. I'm pretty certain I've got the vacume lines right. Any ideas? Could it be close to the limits of speed density?

                  Possibly. Since it's breathing better, you may need to check the base idle. You might need to turn the throttle stop screw in a bit to get the base idle up enough for the idle air control valve to do any good.

                  With the SPOUT jumper removed, timing in the 10-14 degree area, idle should be around 550-650 (I usually try to peg it at about 600). Then it should be good enough at idle even if the IAC craps itself. Get closer to 650 if you want a little more stability if it's hunting a lot.

                    Any updates on this? Ever get a tune or dyno it?

                      No ive had several mechanics look at it and do things to it. And at this point i dont really trust anyone on it. I told 4 seperate mechanics to fix the vacume leaks. Nobody seals up the ported upper and lower correctly via gasket matching. I told the guys at the exhaust shop to relocate the 02 sensors when i did duels. They didnt. Ordered 3 rearends out of new mexico with the promise they were 11 inch drum track loc. All were wrong. Unless its someone from this forum, im not letting anyone else touch it. These guys take ur car for 4 months at a time and do jackshit while working on other projects.

                        The car seems to ruin batteries. Have to buy a new one almost everytime i work on it. It has a msd ignition box. No guages yet. It has ported upper and ported lower intakes. Explorer t.b. the mechanic put on 19 instead of 24 lb injectors. Told him 24. It has an eaton pumpkin-3.55. Mas air conversion tho i dont think he changed the firing order. Xplorer tb. Headers. Duals. Smog delete. It will start if i give it some gas and light throttle for about a minuate. Then it will idle on its own and slowly gain temp. When the temp guage gets in the middle the idle becomes spuratic. If driven down the street it overheats and dies at stoplights. When it dies at stoplights the battery is completely dead.

                          I had decided on either the xe 258 or 264 cam paired with 11r heads. I was ultimatly unsure which heads to get knowing compression and things could be an issue. The inlet and oulet holes in the head

                            You may want to check on that alternator; if it's stock and has not been replaced. Mine did that when it was dying.

                              I replaced the alternator a few years ago with a slightly higher amperage or voltage. It probly needs a 3g conversion. The website was parts geek. They had what i would call an oddly large selection of alternators for my car ranging in different outputs. It could be wrong for sure

                                A case of mismatched injectors, MAF, and computer could cause serious drivability issues like the ones you've stated in your thread build.

                                Your injectors are providing X information to the computer, your MAF is saying something else, and your computer can't read what they're saying.

                                You want to make sure all of your parts are calibrated to the same injector size. 19lb injectors will require a MAF that measures 19lb injector pulses and a computer that will read what those two 19lb components are telling it.

                                You currently have 19lb injectors?
                                What MAF are you using, and what injector size is it calibrated for?
                                Are you using the stock Lincoln computer that is calibrated for the stock 14lb injectors?
