    popping and backfiring out of exhaust

    Possible fix!!!!!: I just changed my O2 sensors and I'll be damned if it didn't buck, jerk, miss, pop, or backfire AT ALL. The O2 sensor on the drivers side was coming loose out of its socket, so I'm sure that was a problem. 2 new Bosch O2 sensors for 80 bucks total fixed the problem, it...

    popping and backfiring out of exhaust

    I don't have the MSD and mine is still doing it though. Its been over 2 weeks since I advanced my timing and it just started this popping about 3 days ago. I checked the distributor to see if it was loose, its not. After I installed the Screamin Demon coil it still did it, only other ignition...

    Gear Install Prices

    I was charged 225 for the install, I supplied all parts and oil. The installer has his own 85 GT that he put gears in and is a well known local mechanic so he knew what he was doing.

    popping and backfiring out of exhaust

    I just started having almost the same exact problem within the last week. Mine seems to pop and backfire mostly at partial or half throttle on acceleration, if I give it a lot of gas it doesn't seem to do it as much. Once the engine warms up it doesn't do it nearly as bad or as much. My...

    Need help diagnosing a miss, and one other odd issue.

    Hey Hissin, whats the PIP sensor and where is it located (somewhere on the distributor I assume) I'm all for a 30 second fix!

    Need help diagnosing a miss, and one other odd issue.

    hmmm sounds a lot like what my car does. I can hear what seems like a slight miss at idle and sometimes it does it while driving, also causing the car to buck a tiny bit once in a great while. I can also hear what sounds like a lifter or rocker at the back of the passenger side valve cover...

    heater core removal

    I remember reading in a Mustang Monthly I think that only the pre-'87 non-ac cars can be easily accessed through the glove box. Before I took my '90 apart, I couldn't find any way to access the heater core only through the glove box, A/C lines or not, they are not the only things that make the...

    heater core removal

    Roland, you're still going to have to remove your dash even without A/C because if memory serves me correctly the heater box which houses the core is way behind the glove box area and can't be reached with the dash intact. The A/C lines only make the job a little harder for an already difficult...

    going back to mechanical fan, stock clutch type or straight mechanical??

    I had a flex-a-lite mechanical fan with no clutch and while it cooled great and blew a huge cloud of dust under the car when I reved it, it had the most terrible groaning/whirrling kind of sound, almost like an old army truck. I put a stock fan and clutch back on but would like to go electric...

    What are the chances that the head could be cracked?

    I second taking it to a machine shop, they will be able to find any cracks and clean them up. Also, I was under the impression that head bolts can't be reused because they stretch out once you torque them??

    What makes the engine HO?

    I think its the cam and heads. The heads in your '85 are E5s (I think) as opposed to the E7s found in 87-93s but compared to other cars with 5.0s in them of the time (crown vics and such) I believe the Mustang's stock cam is more aggressive and the only other vehicles the heads are found on is...

    50 ounce vs 28 ounce flywheel?

    a stock style 5.0/5.8 flywheel weighs about 30 pounds, just the counter balance that is different weight. My Fidanza aluminum came with both 28oz and 50 oz weights

    a NERVE RACKING RATTLE AT 5 MPH TO 35

    I have the same problem with mine. I tried adjusting the hatch striker and the bumpers and it helped a little but the rattling is still there.

    Spec I clutch..anybody used???

    I just order the Spec Stage 1 from Central Florida Motorsports, 180 bucks plus 20 shipping is what drew me in, they also say it handles 410 lbs/torque so that is well sufficient for me. (I also got a Fidanza aluminum flywheel from ebay) Hey sirr0bin, where might I be able to buy the FRPP TOB?

    short shifter installs

    there was no factory gasket there (besides the silicone) so you won't find one at a parts store

    My cats are rattling...Any way to make them stop?

    I just grabbed the loose end of my heat shields with a pair of channel locks and twisted em a bit and then ripped them off.

    My cats are rattling...Any way to make them stop?

    gutting out the cats will NOT sound good at all. It will have a very tin-y like, hollow metal sound. If you HAVE to gut them out, put a straight pipe through the empty cat, but thats more work than just ordering a new mid-pipe.
