These motors are particularly sensitive to the infamous dirty MAF and to fouled plugs. The MAF can be cleaned with spray on electical parts cleaner ($3/can at any auto parts store) it's in the back of the airbox. For your plugs, use motorcraft (forget the number) coppers, or Autolite 764.

SCPrez, check out the LSCs starting in 1995. Your 1993 is the fastest Mark from the factory (most agressive tuning), but an LSC gets you true dual exhaust, taller gears, nicer seats, and HID headlights, then for another coupla hundred bucks you can just retune it anyways to gain that power. Plus the radio has been redesigned so the buttons won't crack, and you get more wood grain in the dash.

What kind of numbers are you seeing?!?!?

I'm just running 89 octane (w/10% ethanol) in my 93 4cam and I'm getting 21 in town and 26.5 on the road with no ping.

My driving style may be different, but it can't be that different!!!

I'm thinking about selling my 93 and I'm looking at a 95 ..... maybe I should just keep it!!!!!
