Is that an air mattress pump?

Been there, done that! Beautiful scenery though, especially growing up in this hellhole, lol.

That's what you get for making fun of us when some of us were sitting under 2 feet of snow at about -5F. :P

 

It was a chilly 91F here today although the humidex was around 105F. lol

Yeah we got socked with that heatwave here too. Not quite as hot though. We hit 88° for a high, but the dewpoint crept into the 70's as the day went on. By 8pm we still had a 91° heat index.

 

 

Took our '86 Grand Marquis out for ice cream tonight. I had to make sure my fluid flush solved a hanging 30 year old OEM brake caliper. Wife came home with the front left smoking. After browsing my notes in the back of the owner's manual, I realized that I hadn't had the front brake system open in 10 years, 2 months and 120,000 miles. :uhoh: It's hard to keep track of maintenance on 3 cars and 2 motorcycles ... 1st world problems, lol. But yeah ... try that kind of neglect on anything built this century! Tried fixing the rear calipers doing the same thing on our '00 Jimmy when it was only 8 years old. Total fail. New calipers were the only solution. The Marquis calipers are back in action after only a fluid flush, and pushing the piston all the way in with a C-clamp. American iron (well, Canadian lol).

 

Anyway, the brand spankin' new A/C system with R-12 in there performed UNBELIEVABLY. The windows fogged up so bad I had to put them down to be able to see at an intersection! Now that's some COLD air. Thing was leaving a river of condensate wherever we stopped. :thumbs:

On our way to our cabin in Maggie Valley and had to make a pit stop in Atlanta[emoji12].

Being from Chicago originally, we had to stop!

    • Just did an injector/HPFP replacement on Pepper at 192,400 miles; close enough to 200K, RIGHT? (If 200K is considered life end and to me it isn't). But hey, to each his own.    Have never run a catch can on this vehicle. Back side of every valve looked like a new valve spray painted semigloss black. Port walls looked 'neat' (all a normal result of passive EGR via VVT) Zero build up even in AFM cylinders. Just color. It uses no measurable oil and never has.    At 155,000 I put her on E-85 and a borescope of the cylinders at plug change showed very clean pistons and valve faces. The replaced injector tips looked new. (It was the pump piston seal that was leaking). Oh well, have six good backups.    Still gets 28 mpg on gas (highway average) and over 20 (highway) on alky. UOA's look good and runs as good now as it did when I bought it. Better in fact.    What improvement would a Catch Can provide this motor?     And given all this I expect that IF I installed one I'd see some water/gas/oil vapor accumulation. Byproducts of normal combustion.   Having said that, IF my motor used an appreciable amount of oil I'd consider it a useful 'crutch' until I had the situation corrected OR if bore polished, until I junked it or rebuilt it to stave off repeated plug fouling.    I'm not telling you what I THINK. But what its DONE.          
    • Love the look. I'm a SCSB lover myself.    Two items. 1.) A spacer changes scrub radius but this also changes when we use wheels of different offsets. A little isn't a big deal. 2.) Steel wheels, alloy wheels all have different thickness. Same effect on the stud and lug nut as a spacer. When hub centric the wheel isn't supported by the stud. It's supported by the hub. The stud just keeps it all together.  
    • I had a evap sol go bad a couple weeks ago. . I replaced it.  While watching live data at the time I saw I had some cylinder 1 misfires. No MIL but on live data I could see ~50 at startup and about 70 more after an hour a drive all on cyl 1.  I also noticed that the LTFT were -5% to -15% always.  And that bank 2 is always -3% richer than bank 1. Even across all driving modes, city, highway, etc it’s always 3% richer than bank 1. So I start with the misfire. Swapped coil, plug, and plug wires from 1 to 3. No follow. I got an Injector reseal kit, pulled the D/s injector rail, swapped #1 and #3 injectors, resealed them, reinstalled and retested.  The misfire followed to 3. So I ordered and replaced all 8 injectors, spark plugs, and plug wires. Also replaced the 1 time use fuel pipes under the intake manifold.  Injectors that were in the truck since new were  Part # 12668390.  I replaced them with # 12742701 Got from RockAuto. Pretty certain they’re genuine and the correct ones. I called a friend at a parts store who told me “the 12742701 were the correct superseded part # for the originals I was replacing”. So started truck after replacing all that and it’s running -15 - -30 LTFTs. I reset the fuel trims with GDS2 and drove it for a 60 miles trip each way. There have been no changes in the LTFTs.  I checked if the HPFP was leaking into the crankcase. I removed the pvc and watched the trims. No difference.  I checked the alcohol content and it was at 10%  I’m out of ideas here. Truck seems to run great. Just always rich on the fuel trims.  Anyone with any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.  I ran an injector balance test just for the heck of it and it came back this. I’m confused.  I have gds2 and some other diag tools if anyone knows of anything I should test next.
