3. Suggest to perform a Base Idle reset + a "Salt & Pepper" connectors fix.

Oh, You bet your arse they would warrenty but I don`t have another 4 days for them to play "milk and cookies with a bed time story" on this car. Salt and pepp. done. pulled a lean code out weeks ago . Replace every freakin sensor in the engine and O2s. Still has a slight ping at heavy throttle(even with timing set to stock). at temp. Figure idle probably somewhat connected to lean condition. Another words one will probably fix the other. But I am now leaning (no joke intended) tword ignition. I have a new TFI and coil that I intend to put on this weekend and I may even get a new distributor as I don`t want to have to play with hall effect. What gear is distrib, cast or steel? on a stock 92 5.0 I cant remember.
