    Help, I threw a belt, smog pump?

    Alright, I was running late for work, go to start the car, it squeels, smoke pours out of the hood, pop it and the belt is melted and broken. I check all the pulleys, and they all spin freely accept for the smog pump. My question is, is the smog pump suppose to spin freely, and is that most...

    Thanks for the replies thus far. I am trying to really just save as much money as I can for the time being, cause I am also tyring to save to buy a house. Might just try and waiting till the motor gives up to get something a little nicer.

    What to do next?

    Actually I don't know what a leakdown test is either. How much would a shop charge for something like that normally? I have no problem doing small things on my car, but this is my daily driver, and I don't want to risk f-ing it up if I take on a project of this size, unless I can convince one of...

    What to do next?

    Could you explain the difference between a leakdown test and compression test? Would A compression test be enough to give you ease of mind on throwing on a supercharger?

    HELP BAD IDLE!!! Please for the love of god

    Well so far it appears that the plastic line that was seperated, I put a tub and some silicon around it for now. Seems to have sealed it better than the ghetto tape I had rigged on there. So far all appears to be good. Had no idle problems this weekend. Go figure. Oh and on a side note, got a...

    HELP BAD IDLE!!! Please for the love of god

    Oh ps, I do most of the work on my car myself, however I am working 2 jobs and finishing my last semester at school. So to try some of these things out I just can't get around to it. I would hate to take it to a mustang shop for them to tool around on, but if they fixed the problem I would be...

    HELP BAD IDLE!!! Please for the love of god

    The reason I changed back to the stock airbox was because I heard with certain MAF units, I have a C&L set for 24lb injectors that a cold air intake can "mess" with the readings. I tried clocking the maf and it did nothing. So I said f it I am going back to the stock box, and the funny thing is...

    HELP BAD IDLE!!! Please for the love of god

    One of those plastic lines are broken, could that be the problem, currently I have it tapped together. It is on the passenger side, to the left and down of the throttle body. Gonna go check that now.

    HELP BAD IDLE!!! Please for the love of god

    I will see if I can trace any vacuum leaks, but I didnt "hear" any before, unless they are not that noisey. I have reset the ECU as well last week when I put new O2 sensors in.

    HELP BAD IDLE!!! Please for the love of god

    I have been battling a bad idle for the last 4 months. I just want to drive the damn car without getting pissed off. Here's what it is doing: it randomly idles high at around 1500-2000rpm's, then it goes down to 750 sometimes. The idle will also wander from 1000-1100, making it eractic when your...

    If I didnt have so many things going on I would do a custom box, that's what I did for years on the side. But I have work, school, girlfriend, band, and side business I am trying to launch. Plate is full, and doing that sort of stuff I always sold myself short for the amount of time it takes to...

    Custom Etched Plexiglass

    Hello Stangers, I finally was able to finish cutting out some samples of custom etched plexiglass. Some show a fully etched running pony, while the other is just the outline etched. You could use this for an amp cover or as I did for a nitrous bottle window. Let me know what you guys think. In a...
