    80mm C&L MAF meter

    Okay here is the deal. With the meter plugged in, the car will start up, but hesitate and is not driveable. Unplugged it runs, but extremely rich which makes sense. I have tried 2 NEW sensors for an 89 Mustang. The computer is an A9L. What sensor do I need to make it work? The sensor...

    Any one using Nitto NT555R tires?

    For a street tire, it's not a bad tire. I still light em up every once in a while until 3rd gear. But I have no experience with letting some air pressure out, doing a burn out and trying to hook then. If I punch it in 1st gear, it'll hold until boost kicks in, and usually holds under...

    Idle/Driving Problems

    First of the problems, the idle would surge 500-1000rpms. And it would be hard to rev, felt like timing was way off or it was super flooded (didnt look like that according to my gauge though). After cleaning the IAC the problem changed, it would rev much easier (still doggy though) but still...

    Runs like crap during warm up

    Actually the motor was put back together by the shop this time. I'm assuming they did it right... Fastlane Motorsports in Benson NC. I'm going to be calling them tomorrow, see what they say, since I didnt have no vacuum problems before I took it to them.

    Runs like crap during warm up

    Well now I'm onto the vacuum problem. Which could be anything. All the vacuum lines are hooked up properly (same as they were before I got it back from the dyno). The motor was just pulled, and O-ringed. Could the intake be installed wrong causing this vacuum leak? I really dont know what...

    Runs like crap during warm up

    Closed loop means it's going to run how the computer wants it to run, then open loop means it takes the readings and responds correct? Also, when it was on the dyno a couple days ago, they said they upped the Fuel Pressure a little bit, you think there is a connection?

    Runs like crap during warm up

    Say I start it, and it's running like crap, I immediately turn it off, unplug the o2's, and then start it again. Will it still run the same? How would this custom Autologic chip respond? Would that then tell me, that it needs more tweaking or a o2 is bad if it runs fine after that?

    Runs like crap during warm up

    My car runs like complete garbage when trying to warm up. It only does this when it's completely cold, IE, in the morning or whenever it sits for a long time. It's hard to rev, will barely idle, idle bounces around from 500-1000. It seems as if the timing is off during warm up. Also earlier...

    Put motor back together...WONT START

    You're 180 degree's out, no doubt in my mind. By lining your timing marks up with the Tab, you insure you're on the compression stroke. Now make sure you're on #1 cylinder, which will be one nearest your intake (close to). By this point you should have enough wiggle room to get her started...

    What Tranny???

    I have a TKO 600 done up by X2C Motorsports. Supposedly rated much higher then a regular 600. I also have stock gears, which sorta stinks due to the longer first gear in this tranny. Clutch is also a Mcleoud. It is streetable but takes some time to get good. Clutch is very very stiff...

    Just a headgasket?

    My headgaskets have been through a few heat cycles, and I also added bars leak (From a good experience with this stuff). I went on a test drive to the local store, and gave her some boost. I came back out from the store, and their was a puddle of antifreeze (I have a tube that vents off of the...

    Just a headgasket?

    Update. I changed the oil thinking maybe it was just all the coolant still in the oil. I let it warm up then I drove it and got on it a few times. There is only 1 breather and its on the passenger side, it was smoking white, but less then it was before. And white smoke is pretty much only...

    Just a headgasket?

    Gaskets are fel pro 9333PT-1 Yes the old headgasket was blown. Not only do I know this because it was leaking right out the side of the head, but the HG had spots in it where there was no material left there. Some people have problems with lower manifolds leaking. I used sealant on the...

    Just a headgasket?

    Well I recently pieced my setup back together after blowing a headgasket. Got her started, and the breather is blowing out a little bit of white smoke (more when more throttle given) and a little out the tailpipes. Going around the parking lot I got on it, and it dogged for a second at like 3k...

    Couple Electrical Connections in Engine

    Here is the picture. On the back of the intake, I'm not sure on the PVC valve where it goes, and I'm not sure which one is for vacuum.

    Couple Electrical Connections in Engine

    The first is an "O" type connector which could fit around a head bolt. It's apart of the connections that go to the Throttle Body. Is this a ground? Also there is a pretty thick gauge "12-14" wire coming from right near the coil on the drivers side all the way to the passenger side. It...
