    Drivin stangs in the winter

    Say what you want about mini-vans, but my Chrysler Town and Country All-wheel-drive is better than ANYTHING in the winter, bar none. Put Blizzacks on this vehicle and I bet it could climb a ski slope! This is by far the best winter vehicle ever made by any manufacturer. Don't get me started...

    Shunting in 4th & 5th gear at low RPMs

    NEWS FLASH! (excuse the pun) Cobra Killer has a computer re-flash that will fix this problem! :nice: He said that he can fix it on ANY car. I have PM'd him with more questions, so I can't give you exact specifics yet, but the fix is in a table that a chip can not go. It sounds like it is a...

    Shunting in 4th & 5th gear at low RPMs

    Glad to see that your hitching is at least 85% fixed. What is happening on the other 15%? The SVt mechanic that looked at mine noticed the random misses too (but only on the Snap-on diagnostic equipment). He started to swap out the plugs, but found that the miss just went to another...

    Shunting in 4th & 5th gear at low RPMs

    I was over on T&J's site and Tim fixed this same problem on one of the cars he supercharged. The problem with that car was that it didn't have enough timing to burn the rich condition at a certain RPM. Personally, I can't agree or disagree with that statement, but obviously, Tim knows 1000% more...

    Installed Dr. Gas with Flows today!

    Hmmmm.... water rushing sound..... are you sure you don't have an exhaust leak? Did they weld everything tight? Not trying to knock you car or anything. If you have an exhaust leak, it may mess with your tune. Doesn't hurt to double check. Someday I will improve my exhaust as well. Enjoy!

    Darkwolf!!!

    Somebody on this forum once told me that a crackling exhaust meant that the cats were running hot from having to burn up too rich of a condition. Take that for what it is worth.... free advice. I have no solid facts for that being true other than hear-say. Maybe somebody else can support that...

    Shunting in 4th & 5th gear at low RPMs

    Hmmmmm.... interesting. Restricting the EGR flow did not help... Man, we have a tough row-to-hoe buddy. Something has to be sending an incorrect signal to the computer. Obviously, the MAF is the first device to point to because it gets dirty, But you cleaned it. I seem to recall another...

    Drivin stangs in the winter

    That white stuff in my Avatar isn't white beach sand! :D I grew up driving Mustangs in the snow. Just seems natural to me. It helps to polish up on the ole driving skills. I came home from work at about 3:00am back in December during a snow storm. Started going up a hill and the tires lost...

    Shunting in 4th & 5th gear at low RPMs

    It seems that a lot of us have this problem. Some people get it at stock, others get it after even small mods. The reason that the problem "seems" to go away if you go to a lower gear is the fact that the throttle plate is opened further and more air is going in at higher RPMs. This tends to...

    Just got back from T&J

    Hmmm,.... there seems to be a trend of stories coming back from T&J's house. :rlaugh: To much of a good thing? :shrug:

    T & J's Mongoose Kit or Kenne Bell

    Tim has released his tune!? :shock: :banana: Share the info! How much in $. Anything else I need to know? Does he need the PCM to download? I need to know! I have started to talk to a guy that teaches automechanics at a local college and he had me run a test on my car to help...

    Are Optima batteries good on the Mustangs?

    Hi all, My battery bit the big weeney today. It had discharged to the point of not being able to turn my engine over and it had only been setting for three weeks in a garage that didn't get below freezing. I charged it for an hour, but the amps did not come down. I looked at the health...

    Having a seriously annoying issue and need help

    Disconnect the EGR valve vacuum hose and plug it. Tell us if the problem goes away. If it does, then you have joined the club for the EGR hitching problem. There is another thread related to this same problem. Let us know if it has an effect. Oh, afterwards, you can disconnect the battery for a...

    Do's and Dont's of a blower

    As for the wife,... don't beat her and don't let her drive the car. Simple. That way you will keep both.

    Mike Murillo is stumped!!! Need Help w/ tuning!!

    <Batman flame retardant cloths on> I see both sides of this issue. Being in a service industry and being a customer of service companies, I can relate to both sides. So, who is right? IMHO..... both. Kind of. The customer should be billed for some stuff, but not most of it. I will go into...

    How come sometimes 1st gear doesn't pull at all?

    My gut feel (and logic) is that it is your clutch. The RPMS go up, the car doesn't pull, and the tires do not spin. Just plain logic.

    Shunting in 4th & 5th gear at low RPMs

    I knew it! I really didn't think you would get it fixed. Ford is clueless. My guess is that the mechanics know about the problem and are trying to put you off and hope that you do not return. They do not like real problems because they do not make any money trying to fix them. I will also...

    Magnaflow x-pipe install

    I have never had one off, but from reading posts on this forum, many have had problems with the header bolts having a ridge on them that prevents the flange from tightening correctly. Other people have fixed the problem by removing the stock bolt and installing a generic one from Napa. I am sure...

    Well, I did it... went thru another set of tires

    Brightblue, Where is your Dyno? Last I heard, you were going to have it interpreted to English measurements. Did you ever get your boost-a-spark installed? Mine is still in the box too. :rolleyes: I have been too busy to put it in. Life is too hectic these days. I still have the same ole...

    Shunting in 4th & 5th gear at low RPMs

    Bump. Any news from your mechanic about the problem? Every time somebody posts about this problem, they never return. :bang: They go into the EGR hitching blackhole. :rolleyes:
