High Load % continued-

I haven't given up yet BUT there IS 6 pages of valuable information that keeps pointing at the same thing.

I really dont see how i've done it now, but okay. I do need to fix my secondary air pump, but all i've read is that affects nothing after the first 2 minutes of start-up. So I did dismiss that, yes, i admit that. I only know about the leak from having a smoke test done, and i have changed the gasket to another known good one (throttle body tube), and also made sure it was tighter. My alternator hasn't had any bad signs in a while, i did change my negative terminal when walmart changed the battery. I will fix the air pump as soon as i get a 96 nearby to check out how the airpump connects, and pull the airpump from. I was only focusing on the spark advance because my old car didnt jump around as much as this. if i try to datalog with sct, it shows a min of -15 and a max of 38.

To alternator problems or fixing all the existing codes? Kind of confused still, i did think that code was not anything important as i can see how its disconnected.
 
I think this goes back to the old thread too. You obviously know a bit about scanner data etc but in the old thread (and a little in this one) you seemed to be overlooking information provided or discounting the symptoms (or codes) that you have by comparing it to your own experiences or knowledge. My suggestion is to go back to basics, put the scanner away. Fix ALL your codes, make sure your maintenance is up to par and then look at load %'s. It seems to me that this entire "issue" is based on your car compared to your old car. You can take two identical cars and they will perform completely different. This comes from lack of maintenance, driving habits (Ford's Adaptive Learning), or how the engine was built from the factory.

Get some base MPG readings, acceleration runs, etc and then get those codes fixed, ohm out your wires, change your filters and oil, and recheck. Heck something as simple as a bad gas cap could cause your "issue". :)

Let's go to basics (think I've said that 3 times now) and start from the bottom up so to speak.
