    Car won't hold idle

    So I've been tinkering with the car some more. I spent some time with a can of starting fluid prodding for vacuum leaks. Couldn't come up with anything. I pulled the codes again, and got the usual stuff for my missing smog equipment. (67, 81, 82, 85) Now heres where I got somewhere. After...

    Car won't hold idle

    I'll be able to determine where my stock maf and inj put me after running some data logs on duty cycle. But even if they max out at wot, I should still see a decent idle? Yeah, its got a 255 from the previous turbo setup.

    Car won't hold idle

    Ever since I did my trick flow H/C/I, my car won't idle, and the driveability is garbage. Car has stock MAF, stock injectors, and stock FPR. No egr. I've tried running it with my chip (egr disabled) and without it. I've only been seeing 8-9in of vacuum at 700rpms. Which I would think had...

    punch out back half of my catalytic converters?

    Yeah, you said an offroad was too loud. But that is an expensive mid pipe to beat the cats out of. Look into a smaller muffler.

    lean A/F ratio? a question for the tuners.

    I am guessing this is an AEM wideband? 18.1 at idle is pretty lean, but I wouldn't call it dangerous. Do you have any vacuum leaks pre wideband? That would cause a lean condition. What does the gauge show under part/full throttle conditions? Now if you're seeing 18.1 under load, that would...

    what to do wif my notch?

    Wish my 4 banger swap car was that clean when I got it. I second the LS swap. sbf's are a waste of time unless you spend lots of mula, A coyote drivetrain is stupid expensive, and a 4v 4.6 isn't worth a damn unless it's forged with bewst.

    Top 10 dumbest things I've done to my car

    Trying to turbo a 100% stock longblock thinking it would be "the cheap route", what a waste of 4 months. The car is N/A again, and I lost about $700 Other than that, I can't think of much. All my other regrets have spiraled from it ^.

    Trick flow heads smog ports

    I'm just tired of working on this jalopy. I'll have to pull alternator and ps brackets to put them in. So I guess I'll just let the car sit until I get the ambition to do it.

    Trick flow heads smog ports

    I got my trick flow h/c/i installed, I plugged off the ports in the back of the heads for the smog. But I didn't realize they also have the ports on the front. Now, I've got the plugs to fix the issue. My question is will it be alright to hot rod the car around some beforehand? I'm unsure if...

    The cobra would be a good rig to play with during all those runs in mexico the bay area has too. ;)

    fox or cobra

    03/04's are at the point now, where the price has come down into the teens, and the miles on most of them are still fairly low. I'd say if you can afford it, go for it now.
