Since I have had the motor replaced, the hardship has been it could not sustain more than a feather pedal,it would go into a limp mode .
This weekend I got some more maintenance accomplished.
Turns out the spark plugs were Motocraft Platinum, for stock motor.
Also they were Gapped near twice the amount a blower
Car is called for.
Glad I insisted to gap the copper replacement plugs, they were the same , nearly twice the amount they are spec . for.

I was able to get a dead door actuator fixed .
Trans service , replaced Intercooler pump.
Still need several items addressed , at least it is shrinking.

I couldn't get into any significant boost on the way home
It was raining a bunch.
I did give it a couple gooses and it felt much better.
Still get many people showing attention to the rig.
