bizzare problem part II

hotroddin: please read the other thread.

My uncle runs a sunoco station and is an ASE-certified master technician. I thought someone that specialized in mustangs might know what my problem is. I hooked it up to a $5,000 snap on scanner and got the codes (accually it tells you exactly what is wrong, there are no "codes"). All of the codes have been taken care of. there are no codes anymore but it still runs like sh*t.

The problem started happening right after my A/C released almost all of the gas (previous owner had long tubes installed and they were touching the A/C line). That was the first time I used the A/C. But I don't see how it could be related.

and I didn't install the larger wire, Ford didn't recomend messing with the wire harness, but I know they are wrong cuase I've seen many articles now. They alternator was working fine for a few weeks until the defective regulator finally gave up and sent 20+ volts to the system for 20 mins. This happened during spring break. The car has been running fine up until a few weeks ago.

The plugs look slightly rich (dark grey). The dyno run showed that the Hydorcarbons were between 1600-2000 ppm!!! (the limit is 3.2 and the last test I was at .81 ppm!!)
