if you pulled thru the vacum line it wouldnt run thru the injectors. sounds to me like you had some serious carbon deposits. I highly recommend you change your oil and filter, remember dont use fram oil filters either. purolator,motorcraft & mobil 1 filters. You might also check your plugs to make sure they are still in good shape. ive had cases where the seafoam disloged stuff and messed up the plugs


Platinum is known to last longer but is a worse conductor of electricity compared to copper.

I also see foamed through the brake vac hose did not help at all I definetly need to replace old patched vac lines but its all air tight justt need to get rid of plastic that keeps breaking and kick down with new injectors I will bet it solves my problem

It reseted because you didn't disconnect the SPOUT sensor before setting the timing.

The question is, when you reset base timing was the engine at full operating temperature?

If not, you can still have issues.

Base timing not only requires that you remove the SPOUT connector but the engine must also be at full op. temp. Then you must reconnect the SPOUT connector, clear fault codes and restart the engine. Failing any of this can leave the timing off and PIP sensor fault codes present.

MIne did the same exact thing.It was electric EGR valve.You usually have to replace the metal tube that hooks to it because it tends to twist in half when you remove it.It didn't show any codes either.Just a thought.
