    Exhaust Passenger Side H Pipe To Header Bolt

    I had a custom made socket for that bolt. I took a grinder to an 18mm deep well. You could try unbolting the engine from the motor mounts an jacking it up a little. Could get you a little more wriggle room.

    Brakes Caliper Piston On The Rear Won't Go Back In

    I've never been able to get them back in without the tool. You have to push and turn at the same time. Most auto places rent the tool, I bought one on Amazon for $25 and it works great.

    99 Mustang Gt Won't Stay Running...

    Can you hear the fuel pump priming? Should be able to hear it for a few seconds when turning power on? If not, I believe that the 99+'s use a FPDM. Not sure how they are on mustangs, but on f150's they are a common fail item. If the pump isn't kicking on, that gives you a direction to...

    Should I Replace Manifold Before Dropping My Engine?

    Pretty easy and common to swap just the intake. Been a while (about 10 years), since I've done it, but I want to say you use PI gaskets and you need to apply rtv around the front coolant passages. If you're interested I have a PI intake with aluminum crossover already drilled and tapped for use...

    Rattling Clutch Pedal

    I had the same problem once. After clutch install, the pedal rattled more and more. Engagement was fine, only when disengaged did I have the problem. Turns out that during the install some of the pressure plate fingers were bent and making continual contact with the tob, got worse until the tob...

    Ccrm's

    The website I use for diagrams isn't working right now and I'm not at home to look at my book. But maybe a wiring problem. I know the ccrm has relays for the fan, a/c, and fuel pump, but can't remember how they're wired. If they all use a common power wire or a common ground that could have...

    Iac / Overheating Woes - Progress And Questions

    Crossover plug? Are you talking about the sensors on the crossover tube? A 98 should have two, one right next to the thermostat housing, and one in the same spot, but on the other side of the crossover tube. If the previous owner did a PI swap and didn't drill and tap a new hole on the t-stat...

    Cams And Heads

    This isn't from experience, just from what I've read, but, supposedly the trick flow heads have been designed to have more clearance. Also, you may want TFS specific cams because the intake and exhaust valves are set-up differently than normal. Contact mhs or mmr, they should be able to give...

    You have got to be kidding!

    Only thing else you really need is a fuel fitting tool which is about $5. It's pretty easy. Hardest part is manuevering it around the EGR tube, (if you dont remove the whole thing first). The manifold gaskets are reuseable, I would have new ones though just in case.

    ccrm issues

    I did some shade tree **** to my car, was having the same problem, so I bypassed the ccrm a/c wise and ran the wire coming of the pressure switch right to the a/c compressor. Not 100% but from looking at the schematic it appeared the only thing the CCRM did for the a/c was shut it off at WOT...

    HELP!! Fixed the fuel leak but now won't start and have blinking theft light

    Yeah, the diagram in the thread is the same one that is in my manual, in which case the fuel pump and eec fuses are reversed. Have you checked the wiring around the o2's, or maybe the connector or the rear o2 you hooked up is bad and causing it to short out when connected. I have access to...

    HELP!! Fixed the fuel leak but now won't start and have blinking theft light

    I see you have a 98. I have one also and found out the hard way that the manual has the pcm and fuel pump fuses swapped. I had already swapped the pump and still had the problem, while reading wires at the ccrm I had voltage on the fuel pump circuit with the fuse pulled, thought I had some...

    97 Gt computer and wiring harness

    Have a few parts in my garage I want to clear out, one is a 97 Gt 5sp engine computer, and the other is an unknown harness. It's supposedly from a 97, it has a fuse block, a couple of unkown connectors, and the connectors for one headlight and fog lamp. Doesn't look like the harness in my 98...

    Handheld or dyno tune???

    Call for dyno shops around your area. For me I decided to buy the handheld for now until I get a dyno tune. Like was posted above some places will charge you for the tune plus a tuner if you don't have one, and I was looking at $500. Don't really have any extensive mods so went with the tuner...

Not sure about 97's but for my 98 the manual was wrong, Said it was the fuel pump fuse I was blowing but it was actually the eec fuse, same symptoms though, car wouldnt do anything and had a flashing theft light. Was a chaffed/shorted wire on the engine...

    Replacing Clutch

    Pretty much what Trinity GT said. It's not hard if you do it right. The first time I did it was in the driveway on jackstands, by myself, with no tranny jack. it sucked and I wound up botching the install. i wound up with uneven teeth on the pressure plate either from screwing up the torque or...

    If nothing else just pull the connectors off the fan and the fuel shutoff/impact sensor.
