    Vacuum Leak?

    Ran the codes and just got the 11 code. Did notice better response when I bumped the base timing from 14 to 18.

    Vacuum Leak?

    I am thinking this is a vacuum leak somewhere. I have good power under normal driving conditions but at a light at WOT the car bogs down (I would think that I could do a burnout with the mods on my car). When the car hits about 3K the car wakes up and takes off but driving on the highway at...

    No crank when car warms up

    I did find that the main battery ground wire was going to the frame instead of the engine block so I moved it down by the oil filter. When I bought the new cable that's were it was so I put the new cable there. But still have the same problem. I measured 0.03 volts, so basically nothing, on...

    No crank when car warms up

    The battery cables are about two months old, I hear the solenoid click when I turn the key so I assume the signal is getting to the solenoid. Will try jumping the solenoid. I had autozone check the battery said it was good. No on the long tube headers. Thanks for the schematic I will bust...

    No crank when car warms up

    I am getting a no crank after my car gets warmed up, when its cold or after about 2 hours after driving it it will crank and start. I tried changing the starter solenoid, the starter, and the starter cable with no luck. I just recently installed a new tranny so I was thinking the neutral...

    AOD Transmission Problems

    I think my tranny bit the big one. Originally I was getting a hesitation at WOT, but when driving normally it was fine. I thought it was ignition/fuel problem. I took my car to get rear end gears changed and now the tranny will not shift into third. Checked the fluid and it definitely need...

    Air leak sound by gas tank

    I recently noticed that there an air leak sound coming from the gas tank area and can smell gas and after reading I was wondering if any one has the ford part number for the filler neck grommet since no auto parts store sells them. I figured I would replace this first since I can change it with...

    afterfire and hesitation

    I don't have a gauge to see when I am driving but with the car in park the pressure drop to about 25 psi at WOT. It is the stock fuel pump so it probably needs to be changed.

    afterfire and hesitation

    I finally got to look at my car. I did find that a lot of the rocker arm studs were loose 12 of the 16 to be exact. So I torqued all the studs to 55 ft/lbs with blue loctite and reset valve lash. The ticking sounds has gone completely away sounds nice for once. I was wondering can after fire...

    valve problems?

    I was noticing that my rockers were louder than normal and I was also having acceleration problems below 3K rpm. When I opened up the valve covers I noticed that the bottom of the covers showed signs that the rockers were hitting the covers. I was able to get some covers that clear the...

    Car wont rev passed 1200 rpm without backfire!!!

    Are you running roller rockers? My 88 idles perfect but when it revs up I get poping after pulling the valve covers off I noticed the rockers where hitting the covers so I am in the process of sanding the covers to add more clearance and also adding another valve cover gasket. Just a thought.

    Carb vs. EFI Tall Valve Covers

    From what I can tell is that the cover on the drivers side needs to be sealed and the one on the passenger side needs covered with a vacuum line going to the throttle body. Is this correct?
