    Removing Cat. Converter

    I am thinking about running a straight pipe from the header to the muffler and leaving the Cat out. Where I live emissions don't really matter. Is there anywhere on the net where I can buy one, or do I have to make one myself?

    Will it fit?

    Right, I didn't mean under the hood, I meant between the wheel wells.

    Will it fit?

    I am not intending to do this, but I have a '77 Lincoln Continental sitting in my yard and I was just wondering if the Ford 460 will fit under the hood of a '87-'93 Mustang? I am just curious as to if anyone has tried it. I've never seen it done. By the way, the Lincoln that I have is for...

    '93 Fuel Problem?

    Guess what guys. We were all wrong. I was checking for gas and spark again when I noticed I am getting fuel to the spark plugs because I had one plug out but still attached to the wire and I turned the engine over and flames shot out of the plug hole. But, the engine still would not fire. I took...

    '93 Fuel Problem?

    I didn't buy the ECU from him, I bought it from a Ford dealership and they charged me that much for it, but why wouldn't the fan run until I got the new computer? The mechanic that did this is a really good friend of mine, and I am sure he didn't mean to mess it up, and I'll still trust him to...

    '93 Fuel Problem?

    No, the pump does not run with the key off. Yes, he is a professional, and the only certified mechanic at his shop. The only thing he did was splice the wire from the fuel pump to another wire. I haven't taken the car back to him because I can't get the car started. So, my uncle, who is also a...

    '93 Fuel Problem?

    Yeah, the fuel pump runs non-stop with the engine off. I do not have the original ECU. I bought a new one because that is what the mechanic said to do to get the fan running again. Then when I hooked it up and the fuel pump didn't work, he said it might be a bad ECU, so instead of spending...

    '93 Fuel Problem?

    The last time my car broke down, the mechanic rewired my fuel pump so that it runs constantly when the key is foward, but thats a whole different story. When I said "I hear air going to the engine", it is only after the pump has been running for longer than it usually would. The air is not...

    '93 Fuel Problem?

    And no the pump wasn't running when we took the hose off.

    '93 Fuel Problem?

    I checked the plugs today and I DO have spark. My uncle is going to be getting a code reader for me within the next week or so. What does it mean when the fuel pump is running and I hear something like air going to the engine? It wasn't doing that the other day. We took the hose off of the...

    keeps stalling

    Mine was doing that too. The problem with mine was, a vacuum hose under the hood next to the firewall kept popping off. I would put it back on and a couple of days later, it would pop off again. I just put clamps on the hoses.

    '93 Fuel Problem?

    No, the check engine light did not come on before it died. I live on a farm so we have our own gas tank here, but the gas that we have been getting is 10% ethanol. That is why I was thinking that maybe it was the fuel filter, because the same thing happened to my dads truck. We replaced the fuel...

    '93 Fuel Problem?

    Ok, I didn't get around to it today. But, someone last night told me that there might be a filter or screen inside the gas tank that could be clogged. Is there any truth to this? Anyway, should I check every plug wire to see if there is spark, or is there a quicker way?

    '93 Fuel Problem?

    I was driving my 2.3L the other day when the engine started bawging out. Then it started running fine again for about 20 seconds and then it just died and would not start again. It will not fire. Today I put a new fuel filter on and it still will not fire. The fuel pump is fairly new and I can...
