0-100 revised read description(if litterate)

i figured out what was wrong in the first place. my imrc's wernt opening up so after 3000 rpm's my power died off. i wired the imr's open and now its strong throughout the powerband. before 0-60 was about 9 seconds. now its 8.1. contrast and compare to my other video.

everybody is upset because it's slower then it should be. See the check engine light? He said it's an 02 code which means the engine goes into a default A/F ratio, which is on the rich side, causing a loss in power.

[doug1bite]

I think it might be the pcm or something like that. I replaced the upstream sensors then a couple days later the same code came back. What a bitch...

[doug1bite]

@svtlincoln Oh and I was running 89 octane. If that makes a big diffrence..........

[coltonwithano]

this thing must be realy heavy because my 1994 thunderbird does 0-60 in 8 sec and it only has 205 horse power

[doug1bite]

@coltonwithano, It weighs about 4000 pounds dry. The thunderbirds weigh around 3600 i believe. Though most continentals do 0-60 in 7 seconds, But so do most thunderbirds. The diffrence maker is the that you have rear wheel drive and probably better gearing for accelleration. I seen your vids though, nice car.

what car is this? i hate to say its slow unless its a honda or something, but its not that fast. lol....

what car is this?

[doug1bite]

No of course not. its just showing an improvement over when my IMRC's wernt opening up; killing my top-end power. Its no charger, but it still pushes you back.

@cavanfamily12345 You don't know what you're talking about These cars have an ongoing issue with the Ajar sensors. I'm sure the door was closes and his sensor was just bad.

[91CTD]

@x24xLAKERSx24x You're so backwards, these cars have more power and get better MPG on SUPER. and Super doesn't keep anything "clean". It simply burns differently. The computer in the Mark VIII WILL pull timing if you are running regular gas and It will get worse MPG and less power. you can read this by a simple google search, And I have a 97 Mark VIII and I get exactly 3 mpg less on the highway If i turn 87 and the car is a turd.

Door ajar at 100mph? That can't be safe.

[13doinurmomz13]

mother has this car its a pretty big car so im gnna have it not my sister hell yea i going to customize it and it will be great

[doug2bitemore]

@cavanfamily12345 haha it was closed, the sensor didn't think it was though.

@doug1bite -

Weights: gross vehicle weight rating (kg) 2,193, curb weight, so, that * 2.2 = 4824.6lbs

[Bolimbe]

HAH, yours has the door ajar light issue too huh.

[x24xLAKERSx24x]

i have a 96 LC & the only way your getting 30 mpg is if your using regular & not super..regular will eventually mess up your engine completely & your car will not run well at all..i have always put in super to keep my engine super clean (which it is) & because thats what your suppose to be putting in it..at most ill get 24 MPG using super..idk how your getting 30..if your using regular i suggest you stop right now & pay the extra money for super unless you will cost yourself more with repairs

[cavanfamily12345]

dude your running a hundred mile an hour with 1 of your doors ajar.... thats dangerous dough atleast cose the damn door next time.
