ok,so back on my ranger project after being sick and dealing with heat wave.my 2.8 runs fantastic in open loop and chokes and sputters in closed loop.have replaced tfi mod,distributor,plugs,wires,cap,rotor,tps sensor,cat convertor,rebuilt carb,map sensor,canister purge valve,coil,ignition module wire harness,replaced valve stem seals,reground vaves,set the valve lifters,adjusted timing to 10deg tdc,checked for loose grounds in engine compartment,new o2 sensor,actually put in oem t-stat to replace non exsitent t-stat removed before i got it.checked diverter vave and air pump with engine running,checked for vacuum leaks.do i need to reset computer,drive for 10 or fifteen miles and then pull the codes?pull them now?what am missing?has very good power in open loop and seems to do ok on gas.i don,t have to worry about emissions as it falls off the list jan 1st,but dammit, i want to get it right.any suggestions will be appreciated.
