ok the story starts with fuel pump diein (dont blame it over 300k)
replaced the pump and now car runs like s**t
replaced plugs
checked leads
heaps of spark
cleaned out fuel filter didnt help(noticed a heap of black s**t ) will replace tomorrow
checkd injectors by pulling of wiring each one made car die abit and idle and at 3grand
put a k&n filter in it today
still f**k

ok at idle and timing is fine

like i said it sound like a vw or wrx at the moment and im gettin beatin by colts lol
is this a common problem???
what should i look at next. im considering taking to ford
but i dont want to pay $400 for them to plug in a computer and spend 5 min on the car

blown heady gasket...

Black s**t out of Fuel filter eh! but you haven't changed it yet? that black s**t is likely to be in your injectors also. Unplugging the injectors is one thing, but if the injector is working with a poor spray pattern then the car will run poorly. Cleaning the injectors cost about $20ea if you take them out, a little more if the workshop does it.

dude check all connections on the fuel pump, ther may be 1 that is loose and not allowing enough fuel pressure to the motor

thanks for the replys
fuel pressure seems fine
im thinking and hoping injectors are chockers

cheers josh

did u use a fuel pressure gauge?

LOL @ title
