Is the OP actually kopbet in disguise?
(not a bash, just wondering)
Only his threads get so many responses, pages and views.

I'm just clowning around, don't mind me. In goofy mood because it's Friday before New Years and I'm done with my work, just waiting for the clock to hurry up.
Good luck with the vette.

DON'T HOSE OFF YOUR ENGINE! There's electrical stuff in there. Use purple cleaner and Back to Black. It takes about 10 minutes longer than indiscriminately frying your electrical system with a water hose.

Nope. I been thinking and I guess water somehow got in the system. I know that the bosch system sucks along with my sparkplugs. I was reading up on that today. I have the +4 because....it seemed like the more electrodes better I guess. Oh well. Ill replace those this weekend or summin. Change the oil and let it idle in my driveway. I'll take it around this weekend and see what happens. Im not too worried bad stuff always happens. My dad always says I push it to hard. So now maybe he will wise up and figure out the car has a mind of its own and when it wants to break itll damn well break. So much has been replaced. Its a freakn annoyance to know whats left. Mainly the injectors, fuel pump,.....umm whats left?

Replaced so far: Transmission, Motor Block, Air filter, plugs, wires, distibutor, distribtuor cap, rotor button, alternator, battery, coil, starter, EGR solonoid, exaust, Tires, rims, valve covers, most gaskets, fluids, radiator, waterpump, serpentine belt, hoses, AC relay, climbate control, Interior was fixed up, Brakes, Rotors, suspension, sound system, working with the digital cluster at the moment, new front spoiler, fuel filter, radiator fan, radiator fan motor, Few more things just cant remember it at the moment lol.

Parts that need to be replaced: Injectors, fuel pump, fuel sock, rack/pinion, powersteering pump**going to try to purchase this week**found a rebuilt one for cheap **, Rearend,......So anything to add to the parts to be replaced list?????

Don't fix it unless it's broke. Save up about $500 and start repairing the things that need attention. Not performance upgrades, but repairing needed things. Buy a FSM, fuel pressure guage, VOM, test light, timing light, and other tools needed to figure things out. Most of the special tools can be rented at Autozone for free, assuming you return it. For the spark plugs, I just use the cheap AC Delco's. A spark is a spark.

My dad has the fuel pressure gauge, voltometer thats how we found out about the alternator stupid stuff, we have the gun that works with your timing if thats the timing light. Its like a laser gun. My dads gotta lot of stuff. I just dont know the correct names. Im still learning. Any other tools he usually gets as needed. Such as speed bleeder for brakes, special wrenches, ratches blah blah blah. I mean I got what I want pretty much now for looks. Performance along with reliability is what it is next. Getting forged pistions, headers ect. Performance and helping keep things new and harder to break. Like mentioned getting the hood redone so that should be cleared up soon. Please be careful in the rain. This car hydroplanes very easily and I wasnt speeding. Ima try to get some new injectors soon so they wont **** out on me down the road. Ford SVT injectors? AC delco fuel pump for 45.00 is good for me. Should work on brake lines becauase they could be getting old atleast the rubber parts. Wish I could get the D44 and not have to worry about the D36 going out. Hopefully I will be able to get a new one down the road.... Id rather not wait until it breaks because its usually at a bad time and its more of a pain to have to deal with it when I have to do something. Narrowed down the ground that you were telling me about. The one near the battery that goes into the block? Me and my dad will hopefully check on that tomorrow. Thanks though.

Ok. Sorry for the "technical mistake". What do you want me to say it looks like? It helps diagnose your timing. Hows that sound. Mine is at 6*
