I actually don't know... when i cleaned mine I left it on the car and just shot the holes in the throttle body with carb/throttle body cleaner.

 

LMFAO hahah that's funny and true, Can't wait get a carbed 5.8 or maybe with a little more kick

 

I had a mechanic friend put a computer on the car. It found that the TPS was OK, but the MAF showed 0.0v and both O2 sensors were out of range and rich. I replaced the MAF, but made no difference. Since it as a remfr part, I swapped it out at autozone for another, but it got no better. Even reset the EEC with the new part. I found a test for it, but it says to "backprobe" the connector. I'm not sure what that means. Do I slice off a bit of insulation to expose the wires and check it that way? Stab it with the leads of my volt-meter? Don't want to sound like an idiot, but I'm a counselor, not a mechanic. I fix people's heads, not cars! lol

 

the back of the connector has a rubber guide for the wires. it should allow multimeter probes to slide past and touch the connectors.

 

Thanks for your patience with my automotive ignorance. I finally got the test results from the MAF and I have a below range between GND and SIG and no reading from GND and SIG RTN(hence the 0.0v reading the diagnostic computer got). The test sheet says that if the GRD and SIG are below 4.5v, there is a problem in the wiring. Best reading I got was .90. Now, I have no idea what to do to find the wiring problem. Also, does it make any difference that there is a problem with the A/C compressor? Could that be affecting this? Please help my sanity as I don't have much left!

 

I have the problem where if I let it idle it wants to stall and then picks back up. It has died once or twice because of that. I'm going to spend what I have on getting it legal first, then look at that. I'll keep you guys posted.

 

if you only got one or two drops of water in the oil then it wont hurt anything but you can can get some stuff from your local auto parts store to pour in the gas tank and it treats the water if you have water in any where... im surprised going through a puddle of water did that though... must have been a big puddle...
