[SEL] OFF TOPIC: Read at your own risk. Old Ford 5.8 liter 351 Windsor Engine Problems

[Mark Shulaw]

Hi All, This is about a 94 Ford 5.8  351 Windsor. So delete now if 
your not interested. Fair Warning, LOL.
I need to talk to a good ford mechanic if we have any on the list. I 
need to run through some ideas. Its in the van I just got to replace 
the Hawkins Machine I lost in the wreck nearly three weeks ago. .
Its had all new plugs, rotor and cap, fuel filter and now I know its 
throwing a code 33 as I bought a code reader today for the old ones. 
OBD 1 . . Heres the rest.
   I knew this when I got it but Its got a bad stumble at all rpms. 
Idle, light acceleration and at speed. Seems to not stumble under 
hard acceleration. Goes pretty good. It is throwing a 33 EGR code. 
After several hours of cussing and misery in the sun and heat I 
checked out the EGR as best I could and finally tore it all out. One 
cuss of a job. Not an easy job considering where its buried.  All 
parts check out. I have 5 V power to the solenoid switch on, 
Continuity of the solenoid windings. No vacuum at idle.    The EGR 
valve itself works as it should but I have an egr code and the 
stumbling. Maybe the two are not related? In either case its throwing 
a 33.  I am starting to think I might have a bad computer. So if 
anyone is very familiar with these beasts please help. At least just 
running through some ideas. I am going back out now to reassemble.
If I could just get the stumble to go away I would not give a hoot 
about the 33 .  Will try to check the timing chain tomorrow.
