SHO is slow, part 2 *Updated*

SHOSIG:
How did you "fix" those wires? Should have used a soldering iron. Mine were worn very thin on the cam sensor wire and make sure the wires are insulated from each other. Boy, it sounds like a real pain in the a$$! headbang You may need to replace your CID sensor in case it may have gone bad from the wires arcing over from each other. I'm sure you reset the computer. Good luck!

I did solder them, I didn't figure anything else would work as well. The wires worn on mine both ran into the EEC test harness. One was a ground, one was a test wire. The others hadn't worn into the copper yet, so I just put fresh tape over em.

The car does throw codes if I unplug stuff, or if a part is truly malfunctioning.

Another new symptom: After sitting overnight, the car had absolutely no low end (<1500 rpms) power. If I popped the throttle open, there was a huge lag. After driving for a couple minutes, the power all came back to normal.

I'm starting to think it might just be the plugs and wires or something like that, but I don't know for sure. Stupid ass car. rant cuss

On a more positive note, it runs good 0-50% throttle once its warm!

Where did you get your new maf? Is it a Ford part? I have an extra stock MAF you could use if needed. I am gonna ask my brother tomorrow what it sounds like to him....he is pretty good at diagnostic with fords. PM me with your phone# if you want.

I've got 4 stock MAF sensors and 2 bodies, and one brand new 75mm Pro-Flow, they all act the same. So I'm going to go ahead and rule the MAF itself being bad out. I'll send a PM right now, I appreciate the help!

Did you not ever get a CE light with all those sensors unplugged? Sounds like the bulb may be out. Did you try running codes with a analog meter instead of a jumper. Then count the sweeps of the needle instead of the CE light.

The CE light works fine, and it does come on with stuff unplugged. But it never flashes or throws codes when I have everything plugged in, even though it isn't running right. rant
