Thought it would solve my problem. Thought my old mass air was calibrated for 19lbs and I am using 24lb injectors. So I got a new 24lb MAF from C&L. Engine sounds really different. When I get on it now, totally boggs. Timing is 12 degrees and fuel pressure 42 at idle. I need to borrow a timing light and play with my fuel regulator too. I did all this because when I dynoed my air fuel was 20 to 1. Someone said get a new MAF instead of a chip. Now my car runs worse. Can someone guide me to tune my car. Can someone lend me a timing light?

Where did you get this from? A Thunderbird super coupe? C&L's "expect" '88-93 5.OL MAF electronics..... but the cobra MAF is 'close enough' to work in most cases.... and the cobra MAF is what the super coupe MAF is based on.<p>[ February 15, 2002: Message edited by: st5150 ]</p> <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
