    5.0 Cobra or 4.6 Cobra?

    I've driven both and love both. What I can say is that my 95 Cobra was not what I would consider fast stock. Just doing a full exhaust on these things with gears wakes them up big time. The 5.0 has better low end grunt. I haven't done too much to my car besides bolt ons and I'm making as much...

    Cobra lost power after installing Crane 2031 cam

    I tried holding the gas pedal down while starting. I didn't notice any difference. Why would the plugs be fouled if the car isn't running really rich? My A/F on the dyno was about 12.3/12.5 to 1. That isn't too bad. I will check them, but I was just wondering. I just replaced the plugs with...

    Cobra lost power after installing Crane 2031 cam

    I tried adjusting the TB stop screw already. I also tried checking all of my connections around the distributor and around the computer. It didn't make a difference. The car is just cranking and it won't fire. I got it to fire a few times, but it usually stalls after a couple of seconds. If the...

    Cobra lost power after installing Crane 2031 cam

    Thanks for the links I appreciate it. I have to have the car inspected anyway, so I will tell the Ford Tech about it and see what he says. You must be able to adjust the fuel pressure with the stock unit. How was it done in the first place? :shrug: I don't have an afpr on the car, and I sure as...

    Cobra lost power after installing Crane 2031 cam

    I think you're headed in the right direction with this. That might explain why my car started for a short time after letting it sit overnight. The plugs might have dried out enough to get a good spark. The only thing I don't understand is that my fuel pressure was bumped up and looked pretty...

    Cobra lost power after installing Crane 2031 cam

    I guess you can tweak fuel pressure with the stock unit? That's what he told me anyway. I didn't think you could. Can I get a regular fuel pressure gauge? Or do I need an aftermarket regulator? What is stock pressure like 39 or 40?

    Cobra lost power after installing Crane 2031 cam

    I've heard of it done many ways and taking as little as 5 min. to reset and as much as several hours to reset. Every aftermarket company claims something different I guess. Chip manufacturers such as diablosport say to disconnect the battery and hold the brake pedal down for about 30 seconds to...

    Cobra lost power after installing Crane 2031 cam

    95riosnake, do you happen to have the phone # of SGS Performance. I heard you and another member saying they did great work and I wanted to get my car tuned there after(if)? it's up and running. I went to the website and got the number, but when I dialed it said the phone number was no longer in...

    Cobra lost power after installing Crane 2031 cam

    Thanks Grady that puts it all into perspective and I completely agree with you that it would have been much better to tune through the computer. That's why I want to get this car to a competent experienced stang tuner. As far as checking connections, I disconnected the three wiring harnesses and...

    Cobra lost power after installing Crane 2031 cam

    I tried to start the car again this morning after resetting the computer. I actually got it fired up and it ran for about a minute. After the RPM's droped below 900 the car died. I couldn't react quick enough to give it some gas. I tried to start it again and it just cranked. I noticed when I...

    Cobra lost power after installing Crane 2031 cam

    I tried to start it again last night after I had the battery unplugged for several hours. On my second try of cranking the motor for several seconds it fired up for about 5 seconds and then died again. I even removed my computer and checked all the connections and everything looked ok. When I...

    Cobra lost power after installing Crane 2031 cam

    I am positive the swap was made. I got back my old cam, springs, and pushrods. The car did have an awesome lumpy idle, but now it won't start at all. :shrug: The car felt like it picked up some midrange, but it was raining last night so I couldn't get on it too hard. If the cam was degreed...

    Cobra lost power after installing Crane 2031 cam

    Well things were looking better, but now I have a whole other issue. Last night the tuner dyno'd the car without the chip. The peak numbers went from 254rwhp to 257and the torque went up from 298 to 306 with a A/F ratio of around 12.3-12.5 to 1 and initial timing was manually set at 14*. The...

    Cobra lost power after installing Crane 2031 cam

    Well, I talked to the tuner yesterday morning and asked him to do a dyno run w/out the chip. I could tell he was a little insulted that I was questioning him about the way he tuned it, but I don't really care. I told him that I would prefer that he tuned it though the ecu instead of doing it...

    Cobra lost power after installing Crane 2031 cam

    Thanks, I hope so too. I'm having him dyno the car without the chip tonight. We'll see what happens. He basically told me that he didn't think it would make any difference, but I told him to do it anyway. (Customer is always right) :D I have seen more than a few people with stock gt40 heads...

    Cobra lost power after installing Crane 2031 cam

    All I know for now is that is was at 13 to 1 before installing the cam, then it was running lean after installing the cam. As far as by how much,.. I don't know. I will pick the car up on fri. if he can't be any help and look for a tuner that works with stangs.

    Yes, my baseline was done on their dynojet. I'm going to demand that he redoes it tomorrow w/out chip.

    Cobra lost power after installing Crane 2031 cam

    Thanks man, I have very little faith left. I'm just going to pray that I dyno better without the chip and get this guy to reset my fuel pressure and reburn my chip.

    Cobra lost power after installing Crane 2031 cam

    I know and I'm really p-eed off big time. I chose this place because I did a search on Diablosports' website for the closest tuners to my area to do a tune for me. They were the closest, and by talking to them on the phone about doing the cam and tune they acted like it was no big deal. I...
