    Engine Breaking Up Over 3grand?

    This just in. I just got back from having the year old fuel filter replaced. The car runs alot better on topend and I can pull all the way to 5k in second gear like I wanted to. 1st gear was crazy fast to 4.5k. So ratio411 gave me some good dope in my original post. I'm planning on waiting...

    Breaking Up 86 Aod @ 4200rpm Stock

    What a coincidence. I just got back from having the year old fuel filter replaced and it did alot of good. Pulls all the way to 5k like I wanted in 2nd gear. First gear was nearly perfect and quick. So it was a fuel flow problem after all. I totally agree with your comment above now!! I'm going...

    Engine Breaking Up Over 3grand?

    http://www.stangnet.com/mustang-forums/threads/breaking-up-86-aod-4200rpm-stock.862088/ I'm not getting any suggestions on my 4200-4500rpm WOT breakup either. So I'm thinking of going with the Bosche (or other) Platinum Plugs simply because they have a lower resistance and fire 99.9% of the...

    Breaking Up 86 Aod @ 4200rpm Stock

    Okay I run this car hard. 126k miles on original engine/trans. Stock new everything. Most things have been replaced over the last 2 years. It runs nearly perfect. Minor idle ripple like a mild cam would do but sounds great. Starts, idles up, idles down, AC on makes the idle up like its supposed...

    Help me create the "Surging Idle Checklist"

    AND another thing. I was recently plagued with a hestitation at 1800=2000rpm thinking it was another fuel pump going bad. I ran the test again and got 31. Turns out that means low voltage on the EGR attachment. So I bought a new one for about $37 and no surprise the car runs perfectly again...

    Convertible top replacement?

    I was told if the lamination to the glass is still good then you can reuse it. I got a new black 87 top installed that came with a plastic window std. 5 years ago. I reused the glass window and sold the zipout plastic one I never needed to use for $50+shipping on this board. Note that a...

    Tires rubbing

    225/60/15 is the standard tire for a foxbody. Your offset is messed up big time. Get some cheap factory 15" aluminum "cheap" 10 hole wheels for those tires.

    convertible rear window motor repair

    I had a guy come to my house and for ONLY $35/rear 1/4 window he pulled the covers, replaced the center gear, three nylon bushings, repacked and realigned my whole window assembly so it fit better. No more wind noise. Sometimes you are better off finding a pro. If you break the regulator you...

    Overheating/Water issues

    When I put a much larger volume turbo on my low compression 8:1 car with intercooler, ARP studs and full metal head gasket and ran at 15psi in 3rd or 4th gear the head would lift pushing water into radiator overflow when I was running the car flat out only. ARP studs use extremely high torque...

    advice for suspension setup

    Consider just putting some new wheels + low profile tires. JCPony has a nice collection of 17" and 18" 4 bolt wheels and/or tires that you won't have to worry about fitment on a stock car. Consider the wheel/tire diameter/width before lowering the car at all. Low profile tires ride...

    1991 GT AOD reverse problem

    I'm betting you are low on trans fluid. My truck did the same thing when it was over a quart low. Then check all the trans pan bolts. Mine were all loose and was slowly dripping out over time.
