90 V8Q surging under acceleration
uhh that plug is for when you are checking the level of the fluid, it is not to be any higher then that level of the plug. if your car is running it will just spit it out all over you... check your manual

Ok, i just thought to mention something i dont know if its meaningful but i've noticed that my coolant temp gauge never reaches the second line, only like half way between first and second the best. And also my oil temp gauge usually only goes a little bit above the first line..

Does anybody have the reisistance specs for the coolant temp sensor for V8? So i can see what it should be at 80 celsius.
I mean the rear one. So i can check that too and see if my engine reaches the right temp. Thanks for any help.

Surging with O2 connected/mixture
Ok, i think i found something related to this issue i posted here about. I noticed when i was replacing my spark plug wires, that my spark plugs are all very white. Now i've been told that they are supposed to have a slight tan colour on the center electrode.. But mine are bright white.. Also i've noticed that the engine heats up rather quickly for a V8 (in my opinion). So i'm thinking that am i running lean for some reason->that's causing O2 trying to compensate->that's causing the surge when i have O2 sensor connected? Also this could explain the bad mileage?
I've already tried spraying crc around the intake to check for vacuum leaks but didn't find any that way.. Is there another way to check them? Thanks for any help..

Ok, thanks for the input but i doubt it's the MAF since i didn't find any leaks where it would've suck that in there and secondly i've tested MAF output voltage to be relatively well in spec(idle/wot).
