    The only thing with the cats that if they were plugged up the car would run like crap but it just might be.. That they are not doing the job... Depending on how many miles are on her you may need or have to change the injectors for sure. My 87 was running very rough and I spent the $225 for a brand new set and it runs like new!!

    Do what I did with both of my 88 Stangs. Insure them as classic cars and file that with DMV....no more emissions. If you need to know how it's done send me a pm and I'll explain it.

    You have to find a good classsic car Ins.company and several things you must have.. Do you have "Classic Emissions exempt law in Deleware?
    Second car that is a daily driver.. Some have mileage limitations and I know Grundy states that the car cannot be a "grocery getter" I admit I got fed up with emissions and registered all my foxes in Pennsylvania.. No emissions Then Arizona passed the law after I did all that work and said F**k it they still are not getting my money for these cars. But I do have Grundy Classic car Insurance on every car except my 06. It saved me about $1500 a year on insurance. Total for a year on 79 Pace car, 87 Gt Vert, 89 GT Hb and 79 Coupe all insured for $10,000 cost me $398.00 a year total.

    If you are a member of AAA definately check in with them for Auto Insurance. I am saving 20% compared to other Insurance Companys. I have been with AAA since 93' other Insurance Companys call me up to give me quotes, havn't been able to come close. If you have two cars/one driver, they are able to insure one as your daily driver, and the second as a "Recreational Vehicle" (Well my Mach is a lot of fun to drive!), saving you some more. There are a lot of other reasons to join AAA too, great Customer service, discounts on Hotel Rooms, maps.

    I can't go for the classic car insurance, I have to be 26 and have a garage which I don't have either. But I disconnected the battery and let it sit for a while to let the ECU dump. Came back on and the Coolant temp code was gone, the manual with the scanner explains how to calibrate the TPS so I'll do that as well. And I looked into the rich codes some more and code 92 is from fuel pressure being to high, so good thing my kirban adjustable is on the way.

    First thing I would take care of, is the codes. When you have your codes clear, than scan it to make sure everything is good. I read, where Dave mentioned Delaware, is that where your from? One thing I would definetly do is make sure you have cats on your car. Hell, it's cheap insurance to get yourself a set of free-flowing cats, I think Basani still sells their bullit shaped cats for around $100.00. After you have everything taken care of, go to your local parts store and get a bottle of guaranteed to pass, ( CRC ) puts it out. I've heard it works pretty good, and I think ( CRC ) guarantees it to work or your money back. You should do fine after that. And I just love these guys, that feel the need to give you the run down on what mods they've done to their car, their best ET, and sixty foot times every time they post a reply to somebody's problem. Stay on TOPIC, by giving him a list of your mods isn't going to help solve his problem. That's what these forums are for, I'm sure if he wanted a list of your mods he would ask for them. If I gave a list of mods, every time I posted a reply to try and help some one with their problem, I would have to post two replys just for the room to list all the parts. Come on guys, try to stay on topic, Mike D. ( ITLRUN ). Oh yeah, as for the rubbing alcohol, don't do it unless you want to rot out you rubber fuel lines, Mike.
