Now regardless of the weather it’s doing it. Cars making 440 RWKW on the hub with a walbro 460 intank pump no surge tank. I did have a issue a awhile ago were the car was breaking down up top but found it was blowing the spark out cause the spark plug gap was to big, so we re gapped the plug and that fixed that issue but this time around it doesn’t feel like it did before at all because before the aft was never that high. so I’m convinced it’s not that issue. Have not pulled the plugs out again to check them though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grab some new YE07’s from Ford and see how it goes Honestly I would be having it on the Dyno in itself current state to ascertain the exact issue first but I understand not everyone can access a Dyno for troubleshooting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As that unit is serviceable I'd be ripping it straight out and giving it a clean. Easy job, other then E85 smells terrible on your hands/arms.

I have seen some post's about people using a 10 micron over the 40. Is it worth a change to a 10 or is the 40 okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet aftermarket injectors often call for a 10. Personally been running Ryco373's for nearly 7 years on the same injectors without issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
