Problems since I got my Novi 1000
 

I just had a Novi 1000 installed on my 93 5.0.

The car ran great before, now, since the blower addition, I'm backfiring, the engine is surging/racing and the belts squeal when I begin to make boost (~3500-4000+).

Backfiring....I have Motorcraft plugs gapped to the stock gap. I have been told I should move to about a .34-.38 gap on these. Is this cool and should it assist in reducing the backfires. I have the stock ignition and coil. I have a 155LPH pump, the Paxton FMU that came in the blower kit, but no Adj. Fuel Reg.

Surging/Racing....the car, when idling, sometimes goes into a pattern of where it goes from about 700-800 to about 1100 and back, then it repeats this again and again and again. What might be the cause.

Belt Squealing....when the car gets about 3500-4000+ RPM range, the belts start to squeal...what's up here? I attempted to tighten the belts a little more, but it didn't make a difference. I'm scared to tighten it anymore for fear of damaging the pulley and spindle on the blower.

Any help would be great.

Cheers

Well, regapped the plugs to .035....NO DIFF

Might it be an ignition/coil problem?

PM "exgmguy" He was having the same problem and fixed it.

Later.
