Suspension/Steering / Re: Sealed for life suspention components
thats wierd,, now that you guys mention it,, my old original ball joints and tie rod ends had a "dummy bolt" in the already threaded hole.  One inner tie rod end was the onlyl aftermarket replacement.

ever seen that ?

Engine Tech / Re: valve cover leaks oil.
exactly which row of bolts,, along the exhaust or along the intake,,

how about inspecting that hole ,, did you go too deep, or hit an angle only to bust a crack in along the intake runner,,

id be pulling that off and getting my magnifying glass on it.

Engine Tech / Re: can't figure out the problem.
do the new valve covers have pvc / air built into em?

btw,, you would not have happend to have drilled too far into that broken off valve cover screw would you?

just wondering what would happen if you had drilled into the intake runner humm'''

Runs Fine On Flat Land At 65 Mph But When You Start To Pull A Steep Hill She Cuts Out After About Two Minutes. She Will Miss Repeadetly But Never Stop. After You Get Over The Hill She Settles Down And Runs Great. Any Ideas?

Thanks,

Joe

yep, got plenty of ideas but your gonna have to be willing to pop the hood.

First and easiest test would be to test the fuel presure.
Hook up to the test point on the CFI and tape your guage to your windshield.  Start the car,, good fuel presure would be @40psi.  Take the car to a steep hill where it would normally bogg out and see if it drops off in psi,,if so,,, replace the fuel filter or fuel pump.

second thing id look at is gutting that cat,, your car seems to wanna sputter when under a load so the cat may be getting clogged.

third,
id unbolt the cfi and chip away at all that carbon build up just in behind where the gold tube is that hooks up your pvc valve pipe/tube.  that gets carbon'd up and really puts a hamper on pvc recirculation. 
you might wanna see if your pvc is sucking real good.  Put your finger up to it while the engine is running,, if it agressively sucks your finger up to it,, its ok.

4th,
unbolt your egr , lay it to the side, lay a towel on the pass side engine bay,, start engine and floor it.  that would blow out anything hanging up the egr valve preventing it from seating.  test your egr also by sucking on the vac nipple using the old mouth/tongue trick. if it holds your tongue without bleeding off, its good.

i could keep going but thats bout enough to get you started.

hhhuuu?
the trick to the tps is you have to use an buttstuffog meter, not the digital. also you need to move very very slowly with the throttle linkage.

Archive & Library (Read Only) / Re: The official archived threads post
so if you imply that ive always had access to it,,,, then where was this link before you posted it just now :dunno:
ive looked a couple times now and its is not in an obvious place.

I guessing that no one else bothered to ask you yet cause from the last post, it appeared that you were still working on the collection/access part.

Engine Tech / Re: Serious safety problem with my coug
Ill check the swing of the tps ohms for smoothness.
i have a idle control motor assy (CFI)
My car will not give up codes at all.  Never has since i became a member of this board and was showed how to pull them.  A shop tech was only able to pull code 11 but then his tester could not communicate with the eec.
