Ok guys I am new here so first let me introduce myself, my name is Robert, I live in Schenectady, NY. I have a 1991 foxbody that I started building in 2013. I bought it with a lot of work to be done so pulled the motor and had it bored out .40 over. I got a bigger throttle body, deleted the smog, egr, etc...pretty much all new everything on top except the heads. The guy I got it from said they were these great heads. I Got a chip from BAMA, got it all together and fired her up. Timing was a pain in the butt, but, eventually got it. I took it down the road about an hour and it flooded out on me. Come to find out, the heads were for a flat tappet motor, so I bought some jr Windsor heads.
2 days later my wife passed away, and so the mustang sat. For 6 years.
I just got back into her, I drained the gas, got new fuel injectors, filter and 93 octane gas. Got the heads on, set to zero lash +1/4 turn. New distributor set at 10 and 14 degrees, spark plug and wires.
When I start her up she backfires a bit through the intake spin the distributor doesn’t really change much she will sit and idle, but if I give her any gas she falls on her face and stalls. I’ve checked the IAC with multimeter and it’s at 9ohms. I found it should be between 7 and 14 ohms but, while she is idling and I unplug it there is no change. Could it be bad even though it’s in range ohm wise??
What gets me is that all I did was change the heads and before that it ran great (yes 6 years ago) what could I be missing? Should I time it without the BAMA chip installed? I just don’t know! It’s been driving me crazy for two days now. Can someone please help? Sorry this is so long.
