    Location of the SOHC on a 03 GT???

    I agree, the forum should be a place to ask all types of questions. However, if a person has to ask where the cam is before they start to tear a modular engine apart, then in my opionion, they should be paying somebody else to do it. Not trying to be a smart butt here, just seen too many nubees...

    autometer gauge lighting

    I have the same problem with my gauges. Hooking them up to the dimming part of of the headlight switch will not fix mine because the Autometer gauges are brighter at a given voltage than the stock dash lights. I bought a dimming knob ar Radio Shack, but I have not installed it yet. I think I...

    Hood question.. need answer ASAP please..

    I saw one at a car dealer and the water going into the engine messed up the ignition. If you start to get water down around the coils, you will have problems. Just ask the guys that have washed their engines with a hose and then it either would not start or it skipped a lot. As for the guys that...

    Lower Torque Boxes 03 stangs

    Early 03 Mustangs were fine and later 03 Mustangs were fine. It was the middle ones that were screwed up. It effected many Mach 1s as well. Ford was supposed to have caught them and riveted them on as a fix, but it seems like they missed yours. I hope you welded them instead of riveting them.

    Can you make the 2v KB Louder?

    Mine was VERY quite until I put on the CAI, larger TB, and Big Tube kit from KB. I can now hear the blower a lot more. I can even hear the air traveling into the TB. If I am crusing at 65mph in 5th gear, though, I can't hear it at all. I like that because I like to hear ALL of the music when I...

    Just an Update on the Kenne Bell

    I can't imagine how hard it is going to be to get traction. :D I guess there are worse things to to worry about. :nice:

    KB Eccentric/Idler Pulley

    Ooopps :doh: Had a bad day I guess. Been dealing with a lot of dead-beats and crap lately. I guess I am a little too punchy because of it. Lately I have been screwed over by every freakin contractor/vendor known to man and my customers are being reeeeaaaal slow to pay for services already...

    Kenny Brown Side Vents Installed

    I can't see that the passenger's side could have any function at all. The engine heat can not get to it. On the driver's side, it might help to vent heat out of the little opening where the firewall meets the fenderwell. If this is the case, then KB should build a plastic duct to route it...

    KB Eccentric/Idler Pulley

    What a stupid comment! A pully is bad from a manufacturer (that is not Kenne Bell), so the whole blower system is deemed no good? So, God, if you knew they were so bad, why didn't you enlighten the whole world and tell us what was so bad before hand if you "KNEW" already? There are several...

    FR500 Steering wheel Install

    With the puller tool turned down to give pull on the steering wheel, have somebody pull on the steering wheel while you hit the center of the puller tool (end of threaded bolt of the puller). This will jerk the wheel enough to snap it loose.

    Coil on plug Ignition problems

    I just followed the links above. The Fordpartsore link returned coils for a V6 and had no place for me to specify a GT (maybe I browsed too fast to see it). The other link (Rockauto) took me straight to the correct coil. It even showed the 32 valve coils. Just thought I should mention this just...

    Coil on plug Ignition problems

    No, I have not identified the bad cop/cops. The mechanic said the misses were random and not just on one cylinder. That is why it is hard to pinpoint. Because of the randomness, it might even be something else. It sure would be great to be able to read that tsb before I spend a bunch of money...

    Coil on plug Ignition problems

    There is supposed to be a TSB for an RF interference problem on some Ford cars with COPs, but I can not find anybody that has the TSB. Anybody here have it? I too have that idle problem on my 03. Maybe it is an 03 thing? What is your PCM code (sticker on the computer itself)? Might be...

    BBK TB idles...

    You need to fix the problem, not band-aid it. The throttle plate is probably not centered correctly from the factory. You may also be getting carbon build-up. Take the throttle body off and take some VERY fine emery sand paper and polish the area in the throttle body opening where the throttle...

    New Pics!!!!!

    Maybe it is an optical illusion, but your idler pullies for the belt do not look like they are in the correct position. The two pullies have to have the high spot towards the blower so the belt is "pinched" as much as possible. It might just be that the picture is not clear enough to really see...

    Priming KB Intercooler Pump?

    As stated in the manual, bleed at the intake and at the intercooler radiator. After that, disconnect the hose at the pump and let the coolant bleed down through the pump. Be sure that the reservoir is full before you do that. One guy somehow did his by blowing through the hose going down to the...

    dumb battery question

    Generally it means that it is time for a new battery. Some indicators are not too accurate, however. Personally, I would get a new one because I don't like to be stranded with a bad battery. If the car sits around a lot and discharges the battery often, it ruins a battery. Optima sells a yellow...

    Kenne Bell install-HELP!!

    The IAT sensor at step 169 is pre-installed from Kenne Bell. Just plug the new harness extension you made into it. The old sensor was in the MAF on some cars, while older ones were next to the MAF. KB just hacks into the original wireing for the sensor and redirects the harness to their sensor...

    Stock 200GT......Sick Of Being Challenged

    Nothing is going to scare off snot nosed kids that just want to play. I have a home-brew Saleen S281 with KB supercharger (with big tube kit) and these snot nosed kids in every kind of piece of junk still try to race me. It does get tiring. Even cops stop by to talk to me when I am parked at...

    boost and traction

    My KB chip keeps the traction control like stock. So I bought the little box that allows the traction control to stay where you put it last, even after shutting the car off. It works great. I drive my car in the winter and the traction control works great even with the KB blower. I got no...
