    Warning, dumb question: FRP cams, steel or iron?

    What are the Ford Racing cams, iron or steel? During initial build, my first motor build, I made the mistake of using a dizzy with a bronze gear....which now has teeth as sharp as razors..and the car barely runs. A friend of mine gave me a yellow Ford Racing dizzy gear, which is for...

    Hesitation, backfire, possible miss? Help.

    That's a problem because I get no codes because of my Tweecer, I have smog, tad/tab, egr, and evp all disabled through the Tweecer. The only way to get codes would be to disconnect the Tweecer and wait for codes to show up. I might have to do that just to see what, if any, misfire codes I get.

    Hesitation, backfire, possible miss? Help.

    Yea, I'm kind of pointing at that myself. I figure, I must be loading up with fuel somehow, either bad injector....or something isn't right with ignition. I figure my next step will be to try TFI module....cheap enough and easy enough to change. I HATE throwing parts at my car....but given...

    Hesitation, backfire, possible miss? Help.

    Forgot to add, my fuel pressure never faltered during any of this. So the things I have ruled out are plugs, bad MSD, and fuel pump/pressure.

    Hesitation, backfire, possible miss? Help.

    Ok, this started a few weeks ago....sort of. I started having a backfire issue randomly. I would really notice it during the first few minutes of driving when the car was cold, if I was accelerating between 2500 and 3200rpms I would hear a popping backfire through the exhaust...a distinct...

    dyed dashes...need to know ASAP

    Well, nothing beats an original black dash. I love the way mine came out, it looks perfect...gets just as dirty as normal black dash....and it cleans up just like a normal black dash. But at the end of the day, it's a dyed dash and NOT original black.

    dyed dashes...need to know ASAP

    Hard to tell from that pic....did you dye it? Did you remove the AC vents and take them apart...or can you see the original color through the vents?

    dyed dashes...need to know ASAP

    SEM Vinyl dye....landau black. Comes out perfect. Like jrichker said, it's all in the prep. Clean it off VERY well with an alcohol based liquid, I used brake clean. I put on many coats, came out perfect. One hint that really sells it, use a small brush and white paint to get the open and...

    Bed Liner Inside Car

    Good question. I used undercoating in some areas of my floorboard...and planned on coating EVERYTHING the next time I have my interior stripped out. I wonder if bedliner would work better. All though I think it is very expensive.

    salvaged title + insurance...

    Not really, unless you are comparing it to an untouched 5.0. I would be willing to bet that a salvaged 2.3 conversion coupe wouldn't sell for much less than an original 5.0 coupe with similar modifications.

    sooooooooooo you buy a t5 for $30 lol

    Why not? Get it, tear it down, and learn. Get the kit and rebuild it yourself. At least that's what I would do. Hell, $30 to at least tear it down and learn how it works....that's money well spent right there.

    Advancing Timing to 18 Degrees

    With stock compression and stock timing....yes. But I would say that most people on here do not have stock compression, nor stock timing. If you advance the timing, you need to up the octane.

    Just a little help here...

    Have you tried your local parts store? Motorcraft still makes all the AC hoses, compressor, and accumulator...as well as most AM companies.

    22 degrees ignition timing

    Mine was pretty obvious when I looked at it...the rubber was squeezing out of some areas, and sunk in others. So I just went ahead and replaced it.

    22 degrees ignition timing

    Yea, I'm thinking spun balancer as well....I had it happen myself. But don't rule out the easiest possibility...try checking it with a different light.

    Dealerships

    My folks live out of state, a few weeks ago my Dad calls me and asks me what he thinks might be the problem with his Eclipse. He tells me that sometimes when he steps on the gas, the RPMs climb but it feels like the car is not in gear. I ask the standard questions, he tells me it shifts fine...

    Everyone please read this and help figure this out

    The belt routing may be "correct"....but is that how it was on the car before? My buddy and I have two different belt routes on our 5.0s..it's just how I ended up routing mine. So with the same exact pulleys in the same exact positions, we have two different length belts. Take his belt and...
