Ok the verdict....
All....most of the original equipment is back on the car! Still having problems....so no, it is NOT the intake. Did throw a CEL when I was adjusting things, figure that may have been a cranky MAF because I changed the orientation without removing the battery cables....yes....give me a good flogging.....I know better....I did remove it when reinstalling the other stuff and then test drove it and the CEL went away.
Taking it to the shop tomorrow for another reason..............
TIMING BELT IS FEREEAKING DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Two large groves in the belt side by side, can't WAIT to see what did that, glazed, and not tight....yes smacking the top of the belt cover....being quoted lowest $235 to have the belt done. I can do it...I have done it before....do I want to do it again????? The answer comes in 2 seconds HELL NO! I had enough blood lost when I did the 2.3 Mustang...and it was rear wheel drive. This is front and there is noooooo roooom....I am SUPPOSED TO BE on vacation....what in the world! So now I will give the details of the visit with you guys tomorrow. The hesitation....probably originating from a bad sensor..or a bad cat.
Someone said that the Zetecs have two cats???? Precats in Zetecs??? If this is true, Kamikaze header will be ordered!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
