    Please Help!

    If it's anything like my 2000, it is kind of missing, but not bad enough to set off a code. Hesitation and kind of a ticking/tapping/dieseling sound that gets worse as the engine gets warmer, but I have new plugs, new wires, new battery, new fuel filter, new fuel pump, have ran seafoam twice...

    It's just the power steering, not much you really can do. My 2000 moans on every turn, but it doesn't kick back or anything. It's just a Ford PS pump.

    will no mufflers hurt performance if i have pipes out the back

    I would say the article on the Honda forums was the best thing I've seen to date honestly. But not only does it apply to exhaust, it also applies to the intake stream, velocity of the intake is extremely important, and that is why larger throttle bodies and larger MAF's can lower torque...

    will no mufflers hurt performance if i have pipes out the back

    Someone call? lol. Backpressure itself is bad, it does waste energy and it is not good. What you want is the next exhaust pulse to be at the dead low part, sometimes it requires slowing the pulse down some, but not making the engine push against it. Problem is, you can only optimize the pressure...

    Bosch Plugs??

    The +4's don't give any extra spark at all. It's actually a less concentrated spark that over time creates issues. I have heard nothing good about the +4's, just bad and more bad.

    Cheap speed

    going to school full time and working full time, I get VERY little free time. Fuel pump was going bad so I stuck a new aftermarket pump in there this morning, works like a charm. The aftermarket high-performance pump was over $100 cheaper, and runs perfect. As far as parts go, I have found VMP...

    Cheap speed

    Pulley $180, intake MANIFOLD spacer $100 in supplies to make one as no one sells them (TB spacer is one large paperweight), exhaust $300-400, XCal-2 $380, gears+traction-lok $500+install. That's about the basic stuff. http://www.vmptuning.com some of the cheapest prices you will find. And...

    Need fuze diagram 2000 V6

    http://www.miracerros.com/mustang/2000_fuse.html That is the fuse diagram for the 99-04 Mustangs. The first one is the box under the hood near the battery, the second is the box under the dash. I would almost say slots 13 and/or 18 is what you are looking for. They are light blue 15amp fuses.

    Diablo Predator Causing Crappy Times???

    For one, in the 4R70w automatic transmission, with 3.73 final drive gears, 118.935 mph is the end of 3rd gear if you are going to 5800, but 2nd gear is around 80 mph. Chances are, what I am almost betting is your problem is the way you have it set to shift. The ECU is set to shift at one RPM...

    2002 v6 specs

    Auto, in SAE conditions, will dyno right around the 150rwhp mark, manuals will be in the 160-165rwhp range. Everything is always vague because of the mass production of today's industries. There is a chance a manual could dyno in the 150's, there is a chance an auto could be in the 160's and...

    How to make my v6 fast

    somehow bump your powerband to 11,936 rpms. You'll only be running 17's, but you'll have 500hp. In other words, I hate that term. It's going to take time, money, brains, research, and good mechanics with plenty of time to spare and willing to help out a lot. Only a few people have reached...

    gas

    Course, I'll admit to the same. 89 is 2-3 cents more for me, and I know I have the oil blow by and that's the reason the 89 helps, but it's POURING outside on the one day I have off work and wanted to install the filter and clean my air filter booo =(.

    gas

    The spark knock on 1999-2000 V6's was due to a wonderfully designed valve cover that allowed oil vapors to easily pass through the PCV and into the intake. Oil will drop your overall octane rating, hence why you get a slight knock and have to use 89 octane. You can either keep using 89 octane...

    Debating BBK headers....advice?

    $650 for install!!! What part of Houston you live? I aint got a clue how long it would take me since I aint got lifts, but it don't look that hard lol. And chrome headers are never a good idea, rust out before you know it, and the heat up badly. Ceremics will last ya longer and they are more...

    Debating BBK headers....advice?

    If you get them ceramic coated is when you see the biggest differences. Normal headers will show better flowing up top with some down low, since it's just a tad bit bigger than the stock shorties the V6 comes with, and down low the stockers flow good enough. But with ceramic coating, it keeps...

    V6 chip options

    $380 at www.vmptuning.com which does include the 3 custom tunes. Justin is a good V6 tuner, he has a stock V6 that runs 17psi from twin turbos. I think he broke into the 10's with it. If you look under your dash, close to the radio section, there should be a plug like on the back of a computer...

    K&N intake kit

    Ebay CAI's work the same, if you have a 2001-2004, you have to get something to plug an extra hole in it, and if you live in California, you have to put the stock intake back on every Smog test. K&N, Mac, BBK, etc all have CARB numbers so they will pass testing. Other than that, it's not 6hp...

    Need advice on throttle body problem please

    22mpg, but any one time you race you loose a significant amount of gas milage so, that sounds about right. I'm searching for some problems with the BBK TBs, because I have seen other install issues with them before. Just make sure all connectors are in, and all Vacuum lines are plugged in. It...

    Need advice on throttle body problem please

    Throttle body won't help anything, and that's from the guys at Accufab. The stock 99-04 TB flows around 297 cfm, the intake manifolds and heads don't even flow near that number. With plugs and wires, make sure the plugs aren't having issues. I've pulled out 30mpg doing 85mph on a highway out of...

    What can I expect in a 1/4 roughly ?

    Hit every shift and with the tempratures and humidity in Florida, expect low 15's. You're sitting around 175-180rwhp, but with the heat and humidity, you are going to loose around 3%, leaving you at 170-175rwhp actually being made. With those numbers, I would expect slightly closer to mid 15's...
