Well today I went out to start just to see if it'll behave differently. It started right up but I could tell it was rough (alot better then last night though) I kep it running for a bit and ocasionally heard pop sounds from the back which prolly is backfire, I dont smell gas in the engine bay so thats good  I havent driven it yet, just want it to settle down and etc. The car is very turbulent though..everything is shaking really hard. You can see my steering wheel jittering strongly. It doesnt seem the car has smoothed out, or will it later on? I need to order that vacuum hose because its barely on the UIM and I can hear it leakin out

another side note..after leaving the car started for about 15min..I started to hear popping sounds. I rev'd the engine and I heard loud continuous pop sounds, then I shut the engine off..

That's certainly where my money is. Of every PM, phone call, and IM I've received about running rough after cleanings, its been the wiring order.

Goonz, If You Are Talking About One Of The Hard Vacuum Lines That Goes Into The Upper Intake. You Can No Longer Buy Those Individually Through Ford...Without Buying The UIM Assembly!!!! AAARRGGHH!!! I Ran Into That Problem After Cleaning My Manifolds. I Went To The Junkyard And Pulled The Hard Line. Paid like Five Bucks.
My Car Wouldn't Start Due To That Leak. But I Also Have Another Theory About The No Start Problem People Sometimes Have. I've Noticed That When Our Cars Are Shut Off For Maintenance Reasons For A Good Amount Of Time That They Will Crank But Not Start Right Away. I Believe This Is Due To The Hydraulic Lifters Leaking Down And Oil Pressure Is Not Readily Available To Pump Up The Lifters. No Lifters=No Valve Opening=No Start. This Has Been Most Noticeable When The Cars Are On Jackstands On The Front Of The Vehicle. Sorry To Go Off On A Tangent, But Thought It May Be Relevant In Some Of These No Start Cases. If You Believe This May Be Your Culprit Some Time, Pull your Fuel Pump Fuse And Crank For A Bit To Build Oil Pressure.
The Rough Idle Could Be Either The Plug Wires Crossed Or Even The Vacuum Line Leaking!!! But With The Glowing Header, I've Got To Go With Ray And Say The Plug Wires Are Crossed Somewhere.

No They Are The Same, That's What I Used And Fits Perfectly. Just Be Careful Not To Break The Small Plastic Retaining Ring That Is Left In The UIM Boss. If You Look On Your UIm You;ll See That The Line Pops Into This Ring (Actually It Is More Like A Sleeve). In Order To Pull One From The Junk Yard, It Is Much Safer To Have The UIM Removed From That Vehicle So you Can Use A Pocket Screwdriver to Pop The Line Out From The Bottom. This Will Help To Ensure That You Don't Break The Line Or The Plastic Retainer That Holds It In Place If You Need That Piece Too. Good Luck!!!

All of his posts are like that. No one knows why. It's got to be his software, but what exactly I don't know.
