Talking Re: Attempts stall, Idle Pulses 600-800 rpms, horrible MPG



Yeah, I got the right ones. I actually had to send back the ones I got at first because they were the wrong part number (wrong flow rate) and were for all the later year Windstars with more HP. Swapped'em out and got the right part number. Too bad too that I had rushed shipping on the 1st order and was sent the wrong injectors, but the guy refunded shipping for me on his own..... which was nice.

I just think the old rich condition (which I hope is old now) with the bad wiring, bad alt, bad battery = irregular unreliable voltage throughout the van messed up the spark plugs because of irregular injector firing over 10k miles from the old engine to the new one.

I take great care before removing the plug wires. I always grab the boot and pull directly straight outward, while not putting tension on the wire itself. Lots of practice while working with other electronics (always grab the connector) has me that way. Good advice to state in any case.

I'm removing AUTOLITE Part # AP5145 {PLUGS Platinum} plugs and installing the OEM MOTORCRAFT Part # SP482's {#AGSF44FMF6} which are platinum as well. I'm hoping to see this thing perform better than I've ever seen it when I'm done.

Good thing there is no monetary cost on Hope.
