idle and gas starve
Hello all!!!! i have a very funny car for you all. it is a 1984 Fiero with a caddy 4.9 motor in it. ok here is the kicker. it has some mustang in it. The computer system is a ford 5.0 H O MAF EEC IV from a 1990 mustang. it does have 2 new O2 sensors.
Ok the problem i am having is it idles rough as heck and likes to stall. also every time i start it up i let the motor run for a good 2 min and then take off. when i get on the highway it seems to starve for gas. what would cause this?
here is a bad video that i took. not enough light. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LofqWiOdMu0
any info would be much helpful. thanks

wow, trippy!!! You're a little lucky, have both cars, but never in the same body, lol...anyway's, not sure how you got the stang ECU to work with the caddy motor, but I know the stang injectors was a popular upgrade for the caddy motors. I htink you're gonna have to give alot more specs about yoru combo, but the best thing is, can you run a wideband meter? Also a fuel pressure gauge (the caddy fuel rail has a standard port to check fuel pressure) and check the readings while driving, also check for spark issues too.

Well i checked the classifieds and i cant post in the wanted adds till im a member for 30 days and have 50 posts. i only like to post if i can help others or if i need help therefor im not into being a post hog.
if anyone has a tuner they would rent out or sell for cheap i would love to know
also if i dont find a used one or such what kind of tuner should i look for? there are so many of them with all different prices. i just need something easy to fallow but at the same time price is a big issue.
