Howdy all ford experts and shade tree mechanics,
I have a 89 T-bird, 3.8 auto, MPFI. Starts hard, smokes when it does start, smell of gasoline in exaust. So it appears to be getting fuel, not spark. Replaced spark plugs and wires, new rotor. Now it is slow to reduce engine speed after you let off the gas. It makes this honking noise in the intake when I shut if down. Makes the same honking noise the whole time when I run it without the MAF sensor conneted. Being a shade tree mechanic I resist the urge to take into the shop and sign a blank check.
Any ideas?
