KAOS_3.0
Hard-core CEG'er
ok, so I put the 05 UIM on the 3.0 today, I had to remove the covers from the injector looms and tape them up to fit under the channel it has under the runners... PITA...
then, I spent several hours rebending the egr pipe to miss the PCV inlet on the new UIM, an even bigger PITA...
and since the coil pack wouldnt fit under the 05 UIM like it did on the 02 uim, I did away with the plastic valve cover in the back and blacked out the 05 one with the new PCV system, which was nice.
main problem I'm having now is I cant figure out where to mount the coil pack now. I've hunted for pictures or suggestions for where guys with the 05 UIM have put their coil packs with no avail. I'm using the 02 taurus coil pack, which if I'm not mistaken is also the same as an 02 cougar coil pack. I've measured and both the 02 taurus and 99 cougar coil pack measure the same height, and the taurus one mounts to the 02 bracket that I've already modded to bolt on with just two bolts.
I've played with mounting the coilpack (CP from now on) on the front of the engine, but any place I can figure out to put it has it standing higher than the oil cap and UIM, so I'm pretty sure it would hit the hood...
anybody got some pictures?
also, on a different note, I was wondering if engine looms where specified for ABS or non-abs??? seems like they wouldnt make two different part numbers for with or without, more likely they'd just not use the signal wire in the loom to the pcm from the bulkhead connector if the car didnt have it, right? I'm thinking about bugging ford for some part numbers in that area...
lemme know what you guys think
BTW, all I have to do to finish the coug is square away a few small things on the engine and put it in the coug. with some help in these areas here, I should have it running in a week or less...
thanks guys
