fyi, if youre gonna swap injectors to see if this is your issue, you should swap it with one that you know for a fact, works.

listen to the previous posts, we are not ford certified mechanics, but we know first hand what does not work.

concentrate on your wiring before anything else like madpogue said.
more than likely this is your issue.

Ya im gonna play with the wiring and injectors some more.i think the smoke is just the oil an fuel left over in the cylinders that didn't all come out

I would not mess with the injectors until you've got the wiring fixed. Otherwise you might be dealing with one problem masking / confounding another (or maybe the wiring is the only problem in the first place).

and you think this "smoke" houdini'd somehow, and found its way through the cylinder, up the injector, through the solenoid, and escaped out of the wiring?

On shipping options, make sure you get ups or fedex. Might have to call them. I just paid extra for 2 day shipping, didn't receive it for 9 days. Screw usps.

FedEx has been sitting on a package of mine in Chicago for over a month. When it first appeared that it had stopped moving, I contacted them with the package ID, and they responded asking me for all sorts of info about the package, that they HAVE in THEIR database. Even asked about things only the shipper would know (like their exact shipping address). I still replied almost immediately, and several days later got an reply assuring me that they would "put a trace" on it. Haven't heard JACK from them since. I have never gotten such rotten service from the Postal Service.
