so i did a head gasket job on my 7mge. now it feels like i dont have any power. i dialed in the timming correctly but it is seriously lacking power and i can smell fuel but cant find a leak i tested the air flow meter and i got some strange results. i got .2 ohms when i should have have alot more. and it takes longer to start. i was thinking tps but it tested fine. any ideas?
thanks

Er, there are more than one thing on the AFM that you test... so where did you get .2?

i geuss it makes a big differece if the engine is warm when you time it. i initially timmed it at 10* but i dont think it was warm enough. yesterday i let it fully warm up and checked the timming with the jumper wire in place. it was 3* retarted. so i turned it back to 10* BINGO!!!! runs great. now however i found the fuel smell source it is a leaking injector seal number 1 is there a way to remove them without removing the manifold plenum?
