    What Temperature is "Hot"

    Start to worry between 210 and 220. I used to switch off A/C once I reached 220, but I'm in the tropics so overheating is an issue here.

    Radiator leak from top?

    I've tried every cheap solution mentioned in this thread, and nothing works. The last fix I did was pretty neat, I cleaned the hole really well, filled it with epoxy and stuck a head less 3/16 screw in the middle so it's permanent there, you don't have to screw it on and off, just take off a...

    Poor idle on 4.6 after major tune up

    Put a new MAF sensor and things are back to normal, smooth idle, no stalling. Checked the voltage at pin 5 of MAF plug and it will climb according to RPM. Got a genuine Bosch MAF at Amazon for around $130, seems a fair price. Cheers

    Poor idle on 4.6 after major tune up

    Seems like the MAF is faulty, I'm only getting 1.10 V on pin Nº 5 at idle speed, I think the normal value is between 1.4 and 1.5 V. I did try to clean it, but I have the same result. The good thing is genuine MAF prices are much lower than before.

    Poor idle on 4.6 after major tune up

    I had to choose between about 3 different high temp color paint, I normally use rebuilders grey for most of my stuff but not available right now. I have to import 90% of the thing I use but airlines are difficult with cans and sprays. Cheers

    Poor idle on 4.6 after major tune up

    Vacuum hose is brand new, I heard you can check leaks with a small propane tank, I'll try that. I do feel that the port where the brake vacuum hose connect to the air intake is kind of fluffy, doesn't feel tight at all. Harness was tagged during work, so I guess I did not mix things up but who...

    Poor idle on 4.6 after major tune up

    Just finished a big tune up on 04 D2. Head gaskets and all other gaskets, o-rings and seal are new. New water pump, thermostat, plugs, wires. Also did valves lapping, cleaned the exhaust ports really well. The engine starts really well, can rev up fine, you can feel the torque, but after...
