    Acetone in fuel said to increase mileage...

    Acetone is used to melt plastic as well - I have experience with it making my own center bezel for an in-dash touchscreen. With it being mixed with gas though in that quantity, not sure what it would do to the seals... interesting. Wasn't acetone a way to also get through emissions as well?

    if you think dealerships screw people

    That sucks.. you must hear a lot of BS. Wish people would just be honest and fair... this includes the SOB that dented my ford focus at the train station this week

    I try to give tomustang a ribbing and I get a technical answer back - he's stangnet's greatest asset :nice: (honourable mentions to svttech and jstreet)

    Mustang seats

    Are you really crawling under the car to remove the seats? Hang on, let me sit down for a minute before I laugh uncontrollabley. :lol: Tomustang is right bro, whether you like it or not and choose to respond as such. A haynes manual will help you plenty. Worthwhile investment. Another...

    Any aftermarket intakes?

    You can buy the edlebrock intake, and then do the 5.0L car swap mod, lol.

    Q's for Tuners or Ford Techs

    Got steeda to adjust my tune files... Now after a period of about 3-4 minutes, and reving the car up and down, the voltage on the side previously showing 0 will slowly climb up to the correct voltage. Believe Steeda adjusted the temperature setting for the HEGO harness back to stock. I think...

    Q's for Tuners or Ford Techs

    Hey, that's good news. Next up on my to-do list is check the voltages at the HEGO harness. I suspect this isn't the issue for me though, as Ford did a complete electrical analysis and all seemed aok.

    Q's for Tuners or Ford Techs

    Yeah, I have been reading this. 1 solution I've read is to adjust this in the tune; I'll call Steeda tomorrow and see. I'll try checking input voltages with a voltmeter, and try taking the stang on the hwy to see if that will heat up the sensors enough. Thanks again guys... :nice:

    Q's for Tuners or Ford Techs

    Sorry for the long delay - Steeda had loaded a band-aid tune onto my car that had left it in permanent open loop :mad: My coolant temp is fine (matches my autometer gauge). The MAF Voltage is fine too, right around 1v. All fuel injectors are turned on, but I can't seem to get fuel...

    Q's for Tuners or Ford Techs

    Thanks for chiming in too jstreet :nice: They're MAC 3" LT's. I'll actually take the car out for a spin and log the data, that should get me in closed loop. Here is what I'll log: FUEL_SOURCE LONG_TERM_FUEL_TRIM_BANK1 (bank 1 and 2 rise and fall the same way from previous logs)...

    Q's for Tuners or Ford Techs

    I'm using an XCal2 (updated firmware) and Live Link 3 from SCT. For short-term fuel trim: stoich is 1.0. If it was 1.10, then it would be rich by 10%. So for the idle at 0.875, I am thinking I am running lean by 12.5%. If I multiply 14.64 by 0.875, then I think my A/F ratio is 12.81, which...

    Intake took a crap...

    You've pretty much cited your options, other than a Rieckard Racing (sp?) intake. Sucks, but that's life..

    Q's for Tuners or Ford Techs

    *EDIT* Ok, I've got the car back, and have starting messing around with the XCal2. I've logged RPM's, Front O2 sensor voltage, MAF AD COUNTS, Short term and Long term fuel trims. Note: I never saw a change in the open_loop_flag - it remained at 0 the whole time. At idle: Long term fuel trim...
