I noticed my car started pinging a few weeks ago. It lacked power occasionally, sometimes would stall when I'd first start it, and eventually got so bad the car would die at stop lights. I also noticed one day what looked like spots of gasoline all over the back of the car. Like from the bumper all the way up to the trunk. Anyway, after some vacuum testing, i determined that the vacuum control solenoid (under the pass side fender well, has red and green vac lines going to EGR valve) was bad, and I replaced it. The vacuum went from like 7-9in hg at idle back up to around 20in hg and the car idled fine and seemed normal...
Well, the car still pings occasionally under load, sometimes feels very lacking in power, and I still get spots of fuel all over the back of the car. No CEL on.
What am I missing? I already put a 255 walbro in it, and a new regulator. Ford Racing wires, MSD cap and rotor, and auto lite 25's also recent. I'm leaning towards bad cats or o2's? Dirty MAF?
Car has around 88,000 miles. Bone stock.
