Hi guys you helped me with my 71 now I just bought a 1987 convertable . This car is like a science project. The guy I bought it from changed so much crap I don't know where to start. Well first it has a TPIS mini-ram manifold on it. I hear it gives the car a better top end. But my main problem now I think is the fuel injectors.I poured 3 bottles of injector cleaner in the tank , and drove it a few days. It is 100% better but still runs like crap. Shuld I try to have professionally cleaned or buy new ones. And if so which ones should I buy. The car also had the cam changed and has headers , and the air pump is there but no plumbing.
Why do we put ourselves through this crap. Oh yeah we love these cars:banghead:

Wouldnt you need to have a custom PROM burned to have another cam in there? would that have that effect of the way it is running? I think the Ford 24# injectors are a little cheaper.

I checked the car out again and now I see no check engine light even in run mode , It has to be computer problems. The guy I bought the car from changed so many things on the car he probably had a check engine light and removed the bulb. I think by removing the bulb it causes the computer to go n to limp mode, so iys like having no computer at all
