maybe this is why i haven't blown my car up on a 75 shot yet then huh? 
BTW i ran my quickest time ever with a CEL for there being no EGR at all...and with the secondaries pinned open.
i'm not gonna say what the time was cause even when i posted the timeslip no one seemed to believe me  . just know it was my fastest  .

My personal best is a 14.4, which I also had a CEL on.

Hm now I know what my car can run, thanks man.  Wait was that with the O/D off or on?  Haha, sorry but I think the Zetec ATX can run a 1/8th mile time about equal to that.

I gave up on trying to fix my CEL. Same 2 damn codes and I cannot get rid of them.
Who wants to sell me a working complete fuel injector harness so I dont have to tear up my engine to find a couple messed up wires and probably not find anything?

Actually, that was with it on. I kept doing 18.9s and 19.1s with the O/D off, so I said screw it. I also revved it in neutral then down into drive at the launch. I'll grab my timeslips outta my car some other time and get ya all the #'s. It was a fantastic track too. I wanna try again once it gets cooler outside.

Might I suggest NEVER doing that again if you'd like to keep the tranny in one piece. The CD4E has enough problems as it is without neutral dropping it!

Yes, what Mark said. I learned not to do that with my old car (a beater 1989 Dodge Aries K) I used to neutral drop that car, and had the tranny slipping after a while of that and I NEVER do it in the Mystique I did it ONCE and I regret it. But NEVER do it again.
