working on a buddys 91 5.0 mustang when he got it it was a basket case.now it runs and idles good, tuned up, cleaned maf ,fixed all the vac/exhaust leaks.

the only problem is that its not full power and it backfires on decel. also it thru codes 41 and 91 so its running lean forsure

also it has good power till about 3500rpm then it kinda gets weak.dosent sound like its missing tho

were going to throw a fuel pressure gauge on it tomorrow.

just wondering if anyone has any ideas for us to check

thanks ,dean

Check the leak down and compression. Then post back.
