For starters I wanted to make sure which bank was which.--which side is bank 1--drivers or Passengers. However, about six months ago, both banks were running lean and I was able to replace the gaskets between the lower intake and the upper intake, and that took care of the problem.
Before I replace the gaskets six months ago I replaced the Mass Air flow and the TPS.
About a month ago I replaced the spark plug wires and the spark plugs--not with Motorcraft---will be redone with Motorcraft.
The car basically runs like poop. It has a pretty bad miss or stumble. The problem is worse when the car is cold an when it warms up its not as bad but still there. Ive drenched with starter fluid the whole upper part of the area the engine looking for a vacuum leak but haven't found any.
With the forscan software Ive been able to see that all of the O2's are reading in at 0 volts and that the computer is pulling all the fuel trims in at -100%. Now, neither of those two things can be normal.
After I did the intake gaskets the car passed CA smog six months ago...with a tail sniffer and everything....I think.
Any advice would be appreciated.
