    Gt/lx Fender Question

    I am pretty sure the fenders are the same but you have to match the insert with the bumper. The gt ones will stick out.

    V3 Chatter

    Thats my problem, too. Cant get a tune before winter. I would like to figure out a way to tune this crap myself. Its the only thing holding me back from getting a HCI package and some fat injectors, then cranking the boost and :poo:ting parts of 302 blocks all over the streets of anchorage.

    V3 Chatter

    Mine has an e-cam and it sounds like I have a bad idler pulley at idle. very little whistle which I really like - completely low key. vortech says it is gear backlash noise, and some folks on the interwebz say it gets whistley-er as it breaks in.

    Bigger Fuel Pump Wiring Upgrade?

    those usually have you run a thick ass wire from the battery or cig lighter fuse all the way to the tank. the relay taps into the stock fuel pump wiring and the stock wiring just acts as a signal to turn on the relay.

    they are tucked into the front of the drivers side fender. you can see them if you get under the car and look up from the drivers side front corner. or you can take fender liner out on the drivers side. the wiring is in the bundle with the washer fluid wiring that goes into the fender well...

    Engine Codes 18 And 96

    think of it like this... take a section of wire and lay it on the top of your motor. probe one end with a test lead, and the other end to engine ground. no electricity can flow from the engine block into the wire because it is protected by plastic covering. the resistance will be very very...

    Engine Codes 18 And 96

    so one lead is on y/ltgrn and the other lead is on an engine ground and it shows 0ohm? try this for me. pull the spout. put one lead on a ground. probe both directions from the spout connector and report back ohm measurements. if y/g wire is grounded, it will show up as 0ohms in one...

    Engine Codes 18 And 96

    how are you testing the y/ltg wire to ground? are you probing into the tfi connector? if it is 0hms to ground, it is touching ground somewhere very solidly, and very close. look into the tfi connector itself, it may be burned or melted internally to the connector.

    5.0 Swap 92 Fox

    probably need a drive shaft depending on which trans you have now. fuel lines are on the wrong side in the 4cyl, so you will need 5.0 fuel lines. brake lines will interfere with passenger side dual exhaust, need whole line or bend and extend the existing ones. 7.5 axle wont live long (stock 4...

    Anyone Familiar With A Breakout Box?

    I think I see what the pced is trying to have you do. is it correct to say the no resistance measurement was between the ecu pin and the other test lead all the way out to the TFI? if so, almost no resistance means the wire is not cut, it is continuous from tfi to ecu. jrich has a good idea...

    Clutch Unable To Disengage

    Hmm, yeah you two are probably right. I was thinking of replacing stock for stock. He probably did go with a stiffer clutch that the stock quad and cable can't handle.

    Clutch Unable To Disengage

    Is there any force required to push the clutch, or does it just fall to the floor? Those cables are tough, they do stretch out over time, but its not a something you are going to stretch in one sitting. What happened to me once is that I left an engine without a transmission for a couple...

    Someone Please Hold My Hand Re: Wide Band O2 Sensor And Gauge

    Haha! Ok. My previous experience with e-cams has been a surgefrom hell that would not go away. This one is running pretty strong and idles great, thought it was the chip. Also has long tubes.
