Quote from 1975F100 on June 12, 2018, 8:23 amI was looking for a vacuum leak but did not find one. I still have the FiTech caps on the ports not being used, I will double check the gaskets under the Throttle body and intake to make sure they are sealed.
Will advice tomorrow, job interview today.
Thanks

Quote from Deleted user on June 12, 2018, 4:35 pmCheck your exhaust system also. Any leaks can send false readings to the O2. I assume you have your O2 sensor mounted about 10 inches past the collector and there is over 18in of exhaust passed the sensor.
FP gauge is highly recommended. Have you read the plugs?
