Idle in gear- 15.15.5in Idle on nuetral- 16in Part throttle, full throttle- 0 Any throttle position, including just enough to keep the car moving at a steady pace- 0 but builds to about 10in slowly. What are the numbers it should be? All #s except full throttle seem pretty low to me. -Ken V. 1998.5 SE Praire Tan Zetec ATX psycho_bass@hotmail.com Roush springs Roush rear sway bar BAT struts 17" Millie Miglia HT3 and a ton of subtle asthetic mods
