    AUTO to MANUAL HELP

    For figuring out what gears you have: jack the rear end up with the car in neutral and mark the driveshaft with a sticker or something. Turn one of the wheels one full turn and count how many times the driveshaft rotates. 3 3/4 turns =3.73 gears, almost 4 turns = 3.91s, a little over 4 turns =...

    Idle problem

    My car idles all funky-like. I've cleaned the IAC up, and due to recent info I've found, it can't be anything getting clogged in the IAC anyways (or EGR, or any vacuum line for that matter) as it's a repeating, exact pattern as shown in my lovely picture. Also noted is my bank 1 upstream O2...

    Idle problem

    I've had the same problem for a while, but now that it's cold out it's getting worse... anyone notice a correlation between the idle problem and the ECT temp? I.E. once it gets to operating temp it stops about all together?

    Head gasket? MAF? Need some Mustang tech help :)

    I'm using AutoEnginuity's base scanner. Also: My O2 wires are a bit singed but I saw no melt down to the inner metal... they were melted by the pipes before I zip tied them down. However being this is right when I start the engine up and thus still in open loop, I figure it's an unrelated issue

    Help me out. Code P0125. Coolant temp.

    Tstat = 10 minute change :P Don't even need to add coolant if you raise the hose up quick enough :D

    Head gasket? MAF? Need some Mustang tech help :)

    So I ran it again, and it does look like I have a lazy O2 sensor on bank 1. Apparently somehow I overlooked this last time, but it's only reading up to 600 on bank 1 when it should be ~900? At any rate the fuel trim is constant 15% rich for that O2. Might be my problem?

    Air Bag light JUST TURNED ON ???WTF

    I had that happen to me... turns out I had maxed out my free memory on my ECU after going 150 :) Of course that probably would have showed up on diags when you ran it...

    MAC H INSTALL - Few Quick Newb Questions...

    I'd try taking the old midpipe down before assembling the new one, just to make sure. I have this H pipe but I can't remember :P Also, make sure you put the O2 sensors into the bungs in the new pipe BEFORE you install the new pipe... you'll save a lot of time. I put mine on in one piece with the...

    Head gasket? MAF? Need some Mustang tech help :)

    Thanks to both of you for that much needed information :) jstreet: The rough idle starts immediately then usually goes back to normal after around 10 seconds, but yesterday it happened both at start up and intermittently until it got to ~200* on the ECT svttech: I'll see what I can come up...

    Head gasket? MAF? Need some Mustang tech help :)

    Checked both upstreams with the scanner (downstreams have eliminators) And would that cause all the rough starts and surging anyways? I wouldn't know :P

    Mine took like 1.5 months to settle all the way... I had the same problem and I was a bit flustered when people asked about it, but they finally settled and they look great :)

    Head gasket? MAF? Need some Mustang tech help :)

    So I've been having this problem for a while with cold starts... My vehicle is in a garage usually, however about 3 weeks ago I left it in a parking lot. (cold temperatures... Michigan) The next morning when I started it, the car idled immediately at ~500 RPM, no throttle response, and seeming...

    Need opinions...

    I paid 10.1 for mine about 2.5 years ago with the same miles roughly... and that was 1k under blue book. Though mine was a convertible, it sounds about right... I'd research it at www.kbb.com to see the blue book value on it with all the options it has.

    buying new stang, drives like a beast w/ min mods

    My buddy "test drove" my GT when it was bone-stock 2 years ago... and he roasted first and second. Turns out he just wasn't used to big ol' V8s and popped the clutch back real fast like he usually does with his MR2 :D

    Heavy vibration at speeds about 50 mph. What could the problem be?

    It'd be the same either way... driveshaft is rotating at the same speed at 55 mph no matter what gear you're in :P
