    Please help me!!!!

    I am such a retard. I just went out and re-re-re-re-re-verified the path of wires, and discovered that I had confused the order. I had 4 and 6 switched. I was working right to left instead of vice versa. I almost came back here to say that there was a cracked wire in an attempt to...

    Please help me!!!!

    I did some searches here on the forum, and verified that my Chilton's is correct. From top right on the coil pack: 1,2,3,4,6,5. That is how I have it wired. I have a hot date up in Tulsa tonight, and if I don't get this fixed, I'm stuck watching a movie at home, crying, and sucking my thumb...

    Thanks for the input. I quadruple checked the routing, and it is correct. When I say it runs horribly--it still runs! I drove it at 60 home from the shop, but it has no acceleration like there is no advance, and stumbles an awful lot. It doesn't seem to be consistent enough to suggest the...

    BTW-- Somebody mentioned arcing a screwdriver on the coils--is this recommended to check them? How exactly do you do it? I just called NAPA and they have Belden lifetimes for $130. I would go do that if I knew that would solve it. They close at 5, and it's almost 2, so I would need to know...

    Hey y'all. I have a terrible problem with my 95 ATX that I must fix ASAP. First of all, I had the tranny rebuilt about 2-3 weeks ago (pan was full of shavings--$1800---good?), and my mileage has gotten even worse (down to 13 mpg). I'm not even driving it that hard. I got that on a freeway...

    Is this entirely VSS related?

    Mike-- I didn't mean to imply that mechanics are generally seedy characters. Matter of fact, one of my best friends runs an MG shop and is the most reliable and trustworthy person I know. He can also make an SU carb SCREAM! Unfortunately, in my experiences with dealer mechanics (I have...

    Is this entirely VSS related?

    I apologize in advance if this is a simplistic question, but I don't know of any respectable shops in the area to analyze it for me. My 95 ATX w/160k has a problem that popped up IMMEDIATELY after taking it to a Ford dealer to fix a problem before a long road trip. As the weather was warming...
