Did some reading and found that the salt/pepper shackers seemed to be a major culprit. So I undid the white plug only and took a look at it. All looked fine and decided to just put it back together. Fired the car back up and I noticed that it had a vibration at idle now. Took it for a drive and it runs but like crap. Way down on power and has a vibration when getting into the throttle. What the hell could have happened? I took it back apart a few times to make sure its snapped together tight and it is tight. I did nothing else to the car whatsoever....<br /><br />Im frickn pissed cause the car has always run great and I should have just left the damn thing alone. Any help would be great..Thanks <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>6D9</b> <br /><small>Member # 7001</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2012,5,15,2,27,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> I also just realized that I forgot to disconnect the battery before pulled the plug apart.

The majority customers grommet is in very poor condition, hard as a rock and loose fit for the pcv valve anyways. <br />there is a upper engine harness ground that i see broken or poor connections on in that same location.....<br />Look for simple possibabilities first.

This will safely drain any and all residual power entirely. After you can start. Run and drive the car for 15-20miles and the computer will re~learn; so to speak. <br />*** make sure to dis~connect any stereo capacitor if you have one *** <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
