    quick question..

    I think there was a hose from the smog pump and it ended up going into the metal pipe that you speak of (the one that went to the h-pipe) If you're really concerned it's a vacuum leak, I would suggest getting a vacuum gauge at the auto parts store (you don't have to get one of the ones you...

    quick question..

    the air pipe is the pipe you describe that is missing - the one from the smog pump to the h pipe. Is the smog pump just blowing into the engine bay or is it capped off? I have the same scenario on my car and mine is just blowing into the bay.

    quick question..

    the stock idle of an EFI fox is at or around 650rpm. Does your exhaust fit up nice and tight? An exhaust leak would probably make your car feel like it has less power. I can't think of anything that would do that only in warm weather.:shrug: Did you cap the air pump pipe that went to...

    Changed fuel pump now car won't start?

    Have you measured voltage at the battery? If the battery voltage is only 7 or 8v, then you'd only get that much at that pigtail connection like Jrichker mentioned. The whole thing with the charger makes me wonder if the alternator is working properly? Have you changed the alternator wiring...

    Changed fuel pump now car won't start?

    Regardless of whether you installed the lines incorrectly or even if you didn't install them at all, the pump should still run when you turn the key or trick it via the test connector. However, since it was priming before when you primed it for a hour, it has worked since installation. Maybe...

    coolant overflow

    I made mine from metal (Aluminum, I think) that I got at lowes. My local lowes had pieces of metal about an inch wide, various thinknesses, and probably 3 feet long. It was pretty cheap, and it was located in the same aisle as the bolts, etc. If you can't find it, ask someone and they'll...

    quick question..

    I'm gonna say no. I can't think of a way your smog equipment would have an effect on vacuum unless the vac lines that run to the smog equipment have leaks. If the little vac lines (from the passenger side of the engine bay) are leaking, then fix them. If you're gonna delete the smog...

    DAMN HARD DECISIONS...WELL FOR ME ANYWAYS..

    I think all of them would look fine on in your car. Really, they all look very similar. However, The evolution steering wheel stands out to me. I like the metal center (it's not ricey, either). The moto one is nice too, but I think the polished metal would contradict your billit on your...

    Tech. Help..

    Take it to a shop if you want, but they'll charge you a fortune and it's probably something simple that you can fix if you do a little research. There's a "cranks but no start checklist" that used to be a sticky. If not, search for it by a guy on here named Jrichker. It's a good checklist and...

    Tech. Help..

    If the fuel pump is not kicking on, it could be your fuel pump relay. HOWEVER, the most likely thing is probably this: When you attached your starter relay, you probably didn't get all of those little wires attached. One goes to the rear window defrost, etc, and one, IIRC, goes to the fuel...

    Looking for a new daily driver...

    A guy at work just bought an 01 F150 quad cab short bed 4x4 5.4L auto w/ 120k for $9000 just to give you an idea. Chevy trucks usually hold more value. My 98 Silverado X cab short wide bed, 5.7L auto 4x4 w/ 128k was $9500 (book value and that's what I paid April 06). Another guy at work...

    Official "Electric Fans FTMFL" Thread

    You'd be better off w/ a $100 controller and a $50 fan than vise versa (as you've found out and then some). I'd say (for others about to go through your situation), 3.8L v6 taurus fan from early 90's taurus (~$50, used, $400 new), DCC FK35 controller + light (~$130 shipped). I made straps for...

    my major help me build my car before i take it to school with me thread

    The problem (as I see it) is not so much the fact of the bad weather environment, but the fact that you'd be driving it in the bad weather environment. Not exactly the car I'd want to drive home for xmas in December (although I've driven plenty in my 5.0 in bad weather)....and the rock salt is...

    DCControl questions need help ASAP!1!!

    It's probably safe to assume that the black wires are ground (verify w/ voltmeter or test light by using the black as ground and then put the positive to a 12v source - battery connection at starter solenoid, etc). The yellow and green wires are probably your power wires for the fan. Most...

    smoking in your mustang?

    I think I'd go for that one too:nice: I used to eat my lunch in my car too. My sunroof has leaked for years (fixing now), so my seats are water stained, so my interior really isn't totally nice. One time a friend put his foot on my dash to tie his shoe and I flipped. He just couldn't...

    Main stud

    If I were using main studs (instead of bolts), I would probably put some locktite on the threads that go into the block. I wouldn't use the "permanent" type of locktite, probably just the light-duty one. The nuts on top of the studs, I'm really not sure. I used stock main bolts, and I don't...

    need autometer adparter for lower intake

    I don't have a part number, but I had this problem as well. Go to your local auto parts store and ask them if they have an assortment of fittings. I got an assortment pack for around $6 and then I just picked out the one that fit. They did not have them individually. I think I got mine at...
