Have you ran the diagnostic codes at all?.... -------------------- -SLOWER TRAFFIC KEEP RIGHT- Posts: 5132 | From: Bay Area, CA | Registered: Dec 2001  |  : white1990stang ¯ Member # 2307 posted                              i have my timing around 14 and what egr components exactly should i check? -------------------- You must be fast, cause I was haullin ass when I passed you.

As far as the EGR components, that means the EGR valve, EGR position sensor, EVR solnoid and make sure the vacuum is good.... -------------------- -SLOWER TRAFFIC KEEP RIGHT- Posts: 5132 | From: Bay Area, CA | Registered: Dec 2001  |  : DropTopFox drama Member # 1689 posted                              could all the sputtering be a fuel system problem, just thought I'd throw that out there -------------------- Go out and do something for yourself today everyone, quit depending on others -Me http://www.CaliforniaFords.com/cgi-bin/album.pl?album=00001689 Posts: 4003 | From: San Bruno | Registered: Aug 2002  |  : white1990stang ¯ Member # 2307 posted                              thats what i think it is. but dont know what exactly it could be -------------------- You must be fast, cause I was haullin ass when I passed you.
