    They are slow, but at least they have dual exhaust. :rlaugh:

    Autotap, is it worth it?

    You generally only get what you pay for, and no matter what software you have, you can only monitor parameters that the PCM has sensors for. Autotap also has a version of the software that looks at the enhanced OBD-II parameters. The PCM is not capable of monitoring boost, but does monitor the...

    questions, all nPI people comments welcome

    The heads are the main bottle neck and the stock MAF, throttle body and plenum are capable of flowing more than the stock heads will (unless you have a blower). Even with the blower, my HP peaks at about 5K and stays flat even with the boost continuing to rise. With these engines, it's all in...

    Factory alarm question

    You can get the remotes for the factory system from Ford. They ran me something like $15 each, but you can call first and find out what your dealership charges. They are easy to program, but before you go to the expense, remove the trunk liner on the driver's side and verify that there is a...

    questions, all nPI people comments welcome

    If your parents are already upset you should save your money until you move out. I'm guessing that is only a year or two away. The mods you mentioned won't do much to a 96-98 GT w/o PI heads. The H or X pipe will also make it sound much different (they won't miss it). If you don't want to wait...

    Factory alarm question

    There are two ways to arm the alarm: use power locks to lock the door or lock the doors with the factory remote. To disarm: press the button on the remote or unlock the door with a key. You have the keyless entry system installed, so if you didn't get the remotes, just buy new ones and program...

    Autotap, is it worth it?

    In 98 it is located on the driver's side, under the dash at approximately where the dash and console meet. As far as I know, it didn't get moved in 99. :nice:

    Need Tires... Which Ones/ and from Where?

    Just two quick questions: Do they rub? What size rims (17 X 9)? :nice:

    Autotap, is it worth it?

    Absolutely! I got mine after a bad experience at the local Ford dealer when I found out the hard (and expensive) way that many of their so called technicians have no clue what they are doing when it comes to troubleshooting the engine control/emission systems. I also acquired the 98 Powertrain...

    Need Tires... Which Ones/ and from Where?

    Snow isn't much of a concern for some of us. We don't get much snow here, and when it does snow the Mustang is confined to the garage. I have no intention of letting my car rust out or get wiped out by some moron that doesn't know the road gets slick when the white stuff starts falling. :stick:

    o2 Sensor Question (help)

    Clearing the code does not fix the problem any more than disconnecting the temerature sensor will prevent your engine from overheating. MIL eliminators are a band aid, and if the option is available, a PCM reflash is the best solution. The rear O2 sensors are only used to monitor how well the...

    turns off

    It sounded like you might mean that, but I wasn't sure. This problem sounds like a loose connection either at the top of the alternator, or on the fuse box. There are bolts in both locations and there is a heavy gauge cable that runs between the two. It is also possible that the connection on...

    turns off

    What exactly do you mean when you say "it just turned off"? Do you mean the electrical system completely shut down? Did the engine just die? Did you get any warning lights, unusual sounds, or otherwise abnormal indications? There are lots of things that can cause the engine to die if that's what...
