In a nut shell, a small vac leak in SD EFI system will cause a lean condition, IF that leak is at the MAP sensor or line connected to it, system will be very rich as the MAP mostly determines the amount of load in these systems by monitoring vac level... Low vac at MAP = heavy load, system increases injector pulse... This is also why you can't run a long duration cam with these systems as vac will be low...

In a MAF system the MAP becomes a baro sensor(no vac connected to it), any leak past the MAF meter will cause a lean condition...

Of course the systems can adapt if something isn't grossly out of order...

As far as throwing parts at it, Ford says fix the FIRST code given and then retest, if there are additional codes address those after first is fixed... Probably 95% of the time this procedure works...

So didn't Haystack mention this in post #15 ?
As soon as Tom Renzo jumps into a thread and starts being a "BIG SHOT" that's when it get confusing and off track !!!
There is no need for his BS !!!

We butt heads sometimes, but the point of this thread is to help the op, so lets get this thread back on track instead of arguing semantics. I really think that me and tom would get along well in real life, but its easy to act tough online and things are easily mis.construed until no one knows what's really going on.

Let us know when you can pull codes and exactly what comes up 86.

Running codes takes less time then it took you to get tools out to pull your intake...

Well I could just do a koeo test some but somewhere along the lines of doing the test on a car with most sensors unplugged (upper intake is on work bench along with the dist) just don't sound like a real good way to do test but I'm just saying

Your time and money. I just hate replacing sensors and money on things that aren't broke.

What Haystack meant is that it would have taken you less than 5 minutes to pull codes before you pulled your intake to replace parts willy nilly. It takes more than 5 minutes to pull the upper intake. A paper clip and you would have been all set: http://sbftech.com/index.php/topic,2471.0.html

The only reason I pulled the intake was to replace the valve cover gaskets because they were starting to leak not to replace ANY THING ELSE an I'm planing on putting it all back together this weekend to run test an go from there an thank you all for your advice y'all have been a great help

OK finally got codes
KOEO- 34,85,10,18,22
KOER- 8,21,34
I swapped out dist for a good one an the little black plug on the wireing for the dist I had it unplugged to retime the car an everything was running great then I plunged it back in an the car died an I had to unplug it to do the KOER test could that piece be the problem or is it a step in the right direction thanks for yall's help
