Re: engine misses only when loaded down
wiswind,
Well you were right, no codes set. On to something else.
If my fuel pressure was not keeping up, wouldn't I notice that at the higher RPM? I seem to be able to rev fine, and run smoothly in low gears, high RPM. I noted this evening when I ran an errand that it's most pronounced in overdrive at about 1200 RPM. When I push the car to accelerate at this point (keeping it in OD) is when this miss will occur. Once I've got the RPM up to 2000, it doesn't seem to do it. Of course I've also run out of hill by then.
I've put some of that Berryman's fuel system cleaner in the tank. I saw you posted about that being a solvent based product. How's it compare to 44K? I know it's much cheaper.
Since driving the van with a fuel pressure monitor on it is not something I can do with my short pressure gauge, I'll save that option for later. Does the 32psi on the injector header meet spec??
I'll look into the EGR ports. First I need to find the EGR ports and vacuum lines. Mine is a 2001, so pics at your site won't help. If you have any input on located these, that's help. I'll stop by the Ford dealer tomorrow and see if they can show me a drawing.
