Engine Tech / 88 TC Vacuum line routing T3 stock IC manual boost controller
Need the correct turbo vacuum line rounting: 88 TurboCOupe, just installed a T3 using stock intercooler and homemade boost controller.  Having trouble figuring out what to do with the lines going to the IC.  Do I keep the stock line coming from the vac. tree on the IC? What about the other nipple on the IC?

Engine Tech / NEW 5.0L Explorer motor
I primed the system with the motor still on the stand just to verify oil circulation.  I primed it again before starting it.  It looks like my ISC is working, no engine codes.

Engine Tech / NEW 5.0L Explorer motor
Motor is installed and I fired it up a couple times. Seems to have a hard time keeping an idle at first.  I unplugged the IAC while running and nothing happend.  Also top end is ticking, maybe I need to adjust my rocker arms some more,  pics to come later.

What spark plugs do you guys use with this setup, currently I installed the ones that came with the motor (motorcraft platinum)

Engine Tech / NEW 5.0L Explorer motor
I've talked with Summit and Comp.  Summit came up with these: 35-310-8, 35-308-8, 35-351-8  http://www.summitracing.com/compare.aspx , but talking with them the second time the guy said to stay under 0.500 lift with my engine/head combo, there may not be enough clearance.  Also he said the 35-512-8 cam or E303 would work with a stock converter.  Who's right?

Engine Tech / Random high idle, code 42
87 Turbocoupe gives me code 42, O2 sensor has fluctuating voltage like it should.  The idle will randomly stay high, 1500-200rpm.  Tried multiple idle solenoids.  I replaced O2 this year.  EGR vacuum line is disconnected and capped. Code 25 also comes up for knock sensor, I wouldn't  think that would matter.
