I worked on it all day. Its just sluggish off the Line. Today I took off from work. Retimed the engine, (advanced it 3 degrees),
plugged the egr, advanced the ALDA and cleaned out the crud in the banjo fiiting--
The car isnt smoking...

Now I am back to Square 1. The car is still sluggish.
BTW, I rebuilt my AC system last month-- and its so damn great, its freezing cold--is it hogging the engine?---thats why I started this whole mess to begin with and changed the fuel filters

Once I had a Ford Escort 83, brand new. Jiffy Lube left an extra gasket in place and the car died on the road one month after I took delivery on it. Engine lost all the oil and the car stopped in the road. Put 4 qts back in and used the car for a 100,000 miles...
