Scroll down to the maintenance section and have at it. -Chuck Dienzo Black 98.5 E1 SVT #5022 of 6535 Born on March 16, 1998 "If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down?

I heard the 95's use a vacuum system for the secondaries as for the 98+ its a electronic system.. i checked with a friend like you said and my secondaries are definitly opening but they are definitly crusty^^ the problem is I just changed the plugs thinking that they were the problem... Is it that bad for my plugs if i clean TB. uim and lim chemicaly??? 98 silverfrost contour se duratec mtx eibach springs koni struts K&N P-Flow ford racing plug wires
