    Mass air meter help or advice needed

    I didn't check the codes I just shut the motor off once the check engine light comes on. The check engine light doesn't come on with the 70mm mass air meter and mystery sensor.

    Mass air meter help or advice needed

    I have a 90gt 5spd I got about 8 months ago and it has always felt a little weak on the upper rpms almost like clutch slippage but never smelled clutch, more recently I'm thinking maybe it's something to do with the mass air meter setup on the car. It has a 70mm ford housing but what it came off...

    Having Issues With A Used Trick Flow Stage 1 Cam

    I hoped the same thing that it was just squishing the lifter a little more than normal that's why I went ahead and started it but they never stopped clacking...

    Wheel Combo Opinion

    In my opinion those two wheels would look as you stated " retarded". You gotta run at least the same style wheel front and back man... Unless it's all you have at the moment to run then yeah go for it just to get it rolling lol

    Having Issues With A Used Trick Flow Stage 1 Cam

    So I bought a used cam from someone off of a fox body Facebook forum. The cam looks ok to the eye but I got it installed on the car and primed the motor and lifters with an old distributor that I made into a priming tool. Long story short after torquing down the rocker arms to spec some of the...

    mystery oil pressure problem

    i'm thinking the same thing stykthyn, because when i went to turn the driveshaft when i took the dizzy out i used a shallow well socket and then realized that i had to use a deepwell socket to even reach the driveshaft, you have to be very carful when lowering that setup in and out of the dizzy...
