Well I put the Motorcraft Ignition Module on last night and it still runs bad. It ceared it up to where its drivable but if you get on it a little or a lot it spitts and sputters like crazy. Im not sure where to go from here... if a list of everypart I have replaced and what brand would help I can list them.
You said in your original post that you replaced the distributor, so i'll assume it came with a new PIP module. i'd look into returning the whole distributor as a defective part, and get another. if that doesnt work, id say you have a hard mechanical fault.
Ok I went and swaped the distributor out, it runs better but still breaks up on hard acceleration. The distributor I got was a remain from Autozone, could that be the rest of my problem?
I have it on TDC and the rotor button is pointing at the number one spark plug on the cap, I havn't moved the distributor. It is still set when i set the timing
It is also smoking on the left bank, it is a little on the right but not near as bad as the left. Its light grey. Could it be the coil, I did replace it but it is from autozone?
I just got done driving my car after swapping the coil, I opened the hood and reved it while watching the fuel pressure gauge and it shot up to 45. Is that good or bad?
