Regardless of new or not with the fuel system components, check your fuel pressure.

Also i had the car on the scanner every time i was driving the car today and got so confusing readings...
Morning to work the highest i saw was 9*
@ Lunch the highest was 7*
and on the way home i only saw 5* all the way home till my very last WOT which hit 12* but didnt drop off fast like all the other time (i have seen this once before with stock pullie when i hit 18* and it took 8-10 seconds for it to come back down :? )
Has anyone ever tried welding exhaust manifolds, since I believe that'* what you're referring to when you mention "EM". I would imagine you'd have to grind a V grove in the crack and then Tig Weld it at maybe 100amps or so with probably a 1/8" Tungsten Rod.
Hmmm
Hmmm

) just a good old fasion mig weld. just gotta make sure you dont heat it up to the point where it will warp

What type of rod would you use for the manifolds Peter? I believe the manifold is cast, isn't it? I tried Mig once but never really got into it. I have a couple Tig and Stick welders, but never really done stick that much. I bought a plasma Cutter last year but only used it once.
Thanks for that info Peter.
mig doesnt use a rod, it uses a wire and im sure steel welding wire would work just fine because i beleace the EM'* are cast steel.
and on a side note, I love plasma cutters, i cut an entire camaro into peices with one once how much did it cost you?

Sorry to highjack this thread folks.
