Distributer timing bolt?
#16
So i broke down and took it to midas and had them look over it and they said that it looked like i was off by 180 degrees and they really didnt know how it was still running ... well i guess either its b/c its a ford or b/c i must be doing something right with the engine.
they told me that i should take it back to the guys that put the egr tube in b/c it looked like they took it out to get the intake off and that they must have not lined it up correctly
or worse case senerio, the chain is skrewed up and i need to redo all that stuff so im hoping its just there fault b/c thats gonna be an arm and a leg and mabey something else to get that fixed ... but ill keep yall posted

Soo its been some time but here is the most recent update. Brought it back to the mechanics to see if they messed it up, but they ended up finding out that harmonic balancer had broken loose and that was why it was out idling so bad .... i sit at red lights now, not even knowing that my truck is running. I'm still getting a random check engine lights(mostly when i accelerate) but im just gonna play it by ear and mabey look more at the vaccum lines
