I just installed a motorcraft PCV valve and motorcraft ignition switch, and now my car is running rough and smells rich. When I got the car it did not have a PCV in it at all there was just a bolt in each hose held in by a hose clamp. So, I decided to put one in as well as change the ignition switch since sometimes I would have to tilt my wheel hard to get everything to work. All works good now but when I start the car she runs rough and smells rich. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
James

I was helping another TC guy on Saturday and the car would not start until we pluged the coil wire back on. Life is good.

Thank the car gods I can no longer remember how many times I've done something like that. Don't feel bad, just pull up a chair and join the crowd
