Sorry for the long wait, I lost access to my account for a while. but after replacing my coolant temp sensor, replacing the connections, and setting my afm back to factory my car runs great, other than it being old and sluggish Thanks everyone for the help I have a fairly happy z

Wish I would've seen this last week I already started fiberglassing my dash

Yeah its been running great but only time will tell if it fixed it

I've changed out my coolant temp and water temp sensor connectors and have not had a problem in weeks Let's just hope it stays this way I'll update if anything changes

Holy crap a 260 that hasn't been turned into a Ferrari

Okay so it seems one of the previous owners changed to a zx head for some reason my block is an n42

Okay it's starting to make sense

Now I'm questioning what year my car and engine is

I'll definitely have to do that Mine kicks out white smoke every now and then but its never kicked out black And I agree I think my coolant sensor has a jank connection I took off some tape that was around the bullet connectors and the wiring looked pretty sketchy I'll probly try and rewire all of it

Yeah I have those And should probably rewire them What would a completely disconnected CHTS cause

Okay so my chts is completely disconnected

Yeah it is a p79 head Haha I was told it was stock

Just remember seeing these two wires under my passenger side dash Could these be to the coolant temp sensor They seem to be the only possible wires I'm not sure where they lead They just go into the big mess of wires under the dash

And its the stock engine Never swapped

My water temp sensor seems to do fine Its the one by the starter that's confusing me

Is this not the coolant temp sensor by the starter?

No its the coolant temp sensor not my injectors

Here's my harness where I think it goes There's no extra wires

Haha yeah I just can't find where it connects to I figured I'd find two frayed wires on my harness right next to it I've looked on my bros 81 and his goes into the harness by his battery but its like mine never had it connected there

Haha I'm only 18 so ill have to use a coke can

My coolant temp sensor is connected to absolutely nothing I've tried to look at where to connect it on the harness but I haven't found a trace of where it could have came from if it is Tue problem I will definitely fix that And thank you I'll have to try the yogurt cup test

But 250 for LED's doesn't sound too bad

Just look at jeep headlights much bigger selection

yeah I don't think I have a bad AFM and I agree I think my adjusting it is just working around the problem the tach doesn't go crazy it seems to follow the rpms fine I'll try a couple things you guys suggested

yes the car had sat for roughly 10 years I also forgot to mention the tank had rust in it so I replaced fuel lines and cleaned the tank with muratic acid then red koted it and got a new fuel pump sorry its hard to keep track of everything I've done I have not had the chance to get the to get proper measurements but I seem to be getting great fuel pressure I will be getting a pressure gauge on my palnet fuel rail I am planning on getting when the car starts to die it will not idle and it starts to run very rough all I can do to keep it alive is feather the throttle but it won't rev higher than 1500 after I loosen the cog on the AFM it will seem to run fine until it eventually happens again with the same symptom's only this time I have to tighten the cog this is making me wonder if it could just be my wiring being bad and sending the wrong signal to my ecu
