Damn, any idea what caused that? New tank wasn't cleaned out properly?
see below.
Basically the trunk thats on the car is only temporary, When I run any sort of weather stripping/latch it will not align, no matter what I do. The inner frame of the trunk would have to be completely cut/sectioned/rebuilt. In addition I am not happy with the quality of it at all. When I repaint the car in a year or two it will be getting replaced. :bash:
This is with the weatherstripping in. (old one from when the car was first on the road) its funny to see how far the car has come since then lol

But you can see how messed up the gap is.
and currently with just the latch.:bash::bash:
I used the Moates QH and tuned my last car with it. I love it. I usually try and recommend it to anyone with a fox or running an eec-iv. Can't beat live tuning. My LX is still going strong with 11lbs of boost h/c/I on stock bottom end. Eectuning.org has a lot of info.
One of the only complaints I see on the setup you have is the supplied tune. I think I may have actually suggested the moates back a few pages ;-).
its tough because no one messes with speed density stuff on foxes. "convert to mass air" which simply isn't possible with my setup.
I forgot you had changed to Mega Squirt. I wish I could help but I don't know much on that system. If you had the stock a9l I could. Go on corral.net and look in there. I know there are guys that run the MS setup and may be able to help.
I know the efi is nice and such, but why not just switch to carb Dave?
I got rid of the megasquirt last year. I am running the stock 86 ford computer now. It runs decent when it wants to.
I will say I have been considering it. It would just take so much to convert it back to carb, Id have to redo the entire fuel system, wiring, and actual carb parts. If I was to go that route id do dual quads. Well see how the tuning goes.
So you are running a speed density stock computer? They are real finicky with anything other than a stock cam. Do you still have the mass flo mass air meter you could go back too or no? The Gen 1 lightning guys tune there speed density so its possible to do it
Have you tried changing back to the stock distributor? I had a similar problem and it turned out to be that. Actually tried two MSD distributors and happened with both went back to stock and was fine. Just a suggestion.
yea, stock SD computer. No mass air meter. It has a cam but its odd because most guys will say that it runs like crap, wont idle, stalling. I have nothing like that. It always idled perfectly, never once stalled on me. Its odd because sometimes the car will run perfect, healthy AFR, and ive driven the car a good distance (40-50 miles) and it runs perfect the whole time, WOT, traffic, highway. however if you shut it off and let it sit for like 5 mins and restart it will run shitty. Very irritating.
I have a billet MSD I'm trying to off if you want it Dave.

I was just going to suggest the same thing. They can overheat causing issues.
It's not tune related then. I would monitor the fuel pressure and take a look at the ignition system namely the distributor and tfi module. Sounds more like an ignition issue due to heat once the car has been running awhile. Basically the distributor/tfi get heat soaked after sitting I think. Then when you go to restart it acts up. The only other thing that can also do that is EGR valve that is bad but I doubt you run one. Try the distributor and let us know!
I have tried swapping distributors. Ive tried replacing the following MAP sensor, TPS, CTS, IAC, computer. It acted exactly the same. I don't think its temp related because the car will run that way when cold as well. Sometimes sitting in traffic and letting the car get warm will actually make it run better. Odd enough. The car has spark, Otherwise it would run richer. The fuel system in the car is rated for 650HP, and most of it has less than 5,000 miles on it. Ive even swapped out the injectors for other known good ones. And there is no EGR.
