    Why is my alternator doing this?

    If you have upgraded to a 150 amp alternator then you should run another wire to handle the extra current. If your car is 87-93 then the wiring is only rated to handle like 80 consistent amps. I don't know if this is what is causing your light dimming issue but I am sure its not helping any...

    2 Power Adders 600+RWHP and have a few ?'s of all sorts

    I ordered a 331 shortblock from fox lake power products for my horsepower build. I had a good experience with them. I got the motor much ealier than they said and it was all custom with custom dished pistons and custom grind cam. If your looking to make that much power and run that much boost...

    idle problem

    Well the B303 ford cam is not that big of a cam and I am pretty sure it has a 114 lobe seperation which is what causes "lope". The surging idle is pretty typical of a car with an aftermarket cam. You can do the computer/idle reset to try and take care of it but I doubt that without a tune you...

    no high speed wipers

    I have a 92 LX and when I switch the windshield wipers from low to high they get no faster almost like the high speed is not working. I am guessing it is the motor but does anyone know a way I can test this? Thanks in advance.

    starter staying engaged after car starts and key is released!!!!

    I guess I should post and say that I found the issue on these threads. The issue actually ended up being that the starter gear and flywheel teeth were meshed together with no lube at all. When the bendix would come out on the starter and mesh with the flywheel because there was no lube it...

    Door Hinge removal

    I got some new door hinges to fix the saggy doors on my 92 LX. I know how the new pins go in with the bushings and all that but how do you get the old ones out? The top and bottom of the pin are flared out and doesn't look like its easy to get them out. Do you have to chisel one end of the...

    85 5.0 LX spits and sputters - Please help.

    Sounds like maybe its not advancing timing like it should? So at idle and low rpm its fine but when you step on it there is no advance so it falls flat on its face. Just a shot. Could be not getting fuel too or a number of other things really. Just check the basic stuff first and eliminate it.

    What will I be putting down? (Similar combo to 275 hp thread)

    I would guess maybe the 240-260 range or so. I would say with new heads and headers you would be upper 200's like 280-300 somewhere.

    stuttering at low rpm's

    I checked my spark plug wires and because I put a set of MSD plugs on it the boots are not angled so I had one boot that had been resting on the header primary just a bit and it burned a small hole in the gray rubber part but not the actual plug wire. Anyway I swapped this wire back out for one...

    best ecu

    If your car is a 90 manual then the stock one should be an A9L. I would think that this would be the best since thats what it had. However I have heard that the auto computer (A9P) had a little bit different timing/fuel curve table because of the auto tranny to keep the HP numbers up a little...

    Suggestions on building a motor

    I ran a forged bottom end 331 built by fox lake power products. I also ran a B50 sportsman block and with my twin turbo setup. I saw 13 psi quite a bit and never had any problems with the motor itself. The B50 sportsman block has beefier webbings and will allow you to make 800 hp or so at...

    Disappointment at the dyno: 227 rwhp with afr165's and custom cam

    I definately think you are having issues with your timing. In my 91 GT I had with TFS heads I use to run 17* of timing and 93 fuel of course. Timing is a key to getting good numbers and if your not willing to use 93 octane fuel for the timing because of money then maybe you should get a new...

    stuttering at low rpm's

    when you say to remove the plastic cover over the computer connector do you mean to actually take out the bolt and remove the harness from the ECU?? I have never taken off any cover before except for removing the harness from the ECU by loosening that bolt in the middle.

    stuttering at low rpm's

    Is there a fuse or anything that could be bad that could be causing this PCM to get no power?? I noticed at the top of the one wiring diagram that Pin 1 at the ECU is a yellow wire that goes up to fuse Link G. Is there a way this fuse link G could be bad and causing the power to not get...

    stuttering at low rpm's

    Ok I pulled the codes and got code 15 which is Read only Prom failure so not real sure what that means. The ECU seems to work fine as the car runs good. I also got a code 67 which is the A/C clutch and that is because I have no A/C compressor anymore as I did the A/C removal. In the...

    stuttering at low rpm's

    Ok well just about a month ago I did new dist cap, new UR45 NGK plugs and new MSD 8.5mm wires. I will check the codes in the morning as well as the air filter and fuel filter. Is there no chance this could be clutch chatter cause I know I have some clutch chatter in first gear when I take off.

    stuttering at low rpm's

    Hey guys. I have a question about my 92 LX coupe. Over the past couple of months I have developed a clutch chatter when I take off in 1st gear. It seems to be worse after I have been driving for a few minutes and the clutch and everything gets hott. Now just last night I was in 4th gear at about...

    Luggage rack on 92 LX

    what about paint?? I am not planning on painting the whole car cause the paint is not that bad but I am sure it is faded a little. If I take a new lid to get painted it will look shiny and new and the rest of car wont look as good. Is there anyway they can match the paint?

    Luggage rack on 92 LX

    Hey guys. I have a 92 LX coupe that has a luggage rack on the trunk. I absolutely hate the luggage rack and want it gone. How can I get it off and how do you think the trunk will look where the rack once was?? Like will it be rusted or just have newer paint or what?? I gotta get rid of the...
