    Vehicle stalling after Speedcal install

    Just an update on my stalling problem. Although I cleaned my IAC valve, it is what was making my car stall. I unplugged it and adjusted my idle speed up to about 800rpm, and the car runs smoothly with no stalling or hiccupping anymore. I'll get around to replacing my IAC valve shortly, but in...

    Vehicle stalling after Speedcal install

    Thanks for all the replies, guys. It stalls when coming up to a light slowly, or sometimes when taking off. Some days it doesn't happen at all, and other times it will happen at a couple of stoplights in a row. The only constant that I see is that it happens when the speedometer flares up when...

    Vehicle stalling after Speedcal install

    I had 4:10's installed in my '95 GT and I had a speedcal installed a few weeks later to correct my speedometer. Since then the speedometer doesn't act smoothly, it will stay at zero for a while and then jump up to the speed you are going, and when you are slowing to a stop it will sometimes jump...

    Going In For Back Surgery Tomorrow (Wed 3/21)

    I had my C-6/C-7 disc removed/titanium cage installed about 4 years ago. I was in a LOT of pain before the surgery, but after I woke up post-op I had absolutely zero pain, and no pain to this day. I had to force myself to take it easy for about 2-1/2 months, but I went back to my desk job about...

    '95 GT in "Ghost Rider" movie

    You do realize that the engine sound you hear is added in later on, and not even from that car at all, don't you?:nonono:

    Pic Request... Headlights...

    I have those first black headlights you posted. Like everyone else has said, the corners are poor quality, with white glue around the inside seams. I masked mine off and sprayed the edges of the corners with black krylon fusion so that you can't see the white glue, I also used silicone caulk to...

    '95 GT in "Ghost Rider" movie

    No, it didn't get wrecked. It may have indeed been a V-6, the only scene it was in was driving away down a dark street, couldn't see if it had dual exhaust tips or not.

    Best/safest way to clean engine?

    What degreaser to you guys use before you spray your engine? Also, is there any type of dressing (similar to Armor-all) that you put on after cleaning to make the engine look better? I'm going to try it this weekend, so thanks for all your help. (sorry badstang 123, I posted this at the same...

    Just installed 4.10's

    I had my 4.10's installed about 2 months ago, and it completely changed the personality of my car. Of course, going from 2.73's in a heavy AODE vert to 4.10's was bound to make a difference. Now I need a chip to correct my shift points, if I floor it the car bounces off the rev limiter before...

    Best/safest way to clean engine?

    I have a '95 GT vert with 68,000 miles on it and as far as I know it has never had the engine cleaned. With old cars I have had in the past I would just cover the distributor and carb and spray the engine down good at the coin-op car wash. With all the sensors and wiring in my Mustangs engine...

    Check engine light after oil pressure switch replacement?

    So I picked the car up yesterday afternoon, they drove it for about an hour trying to get the "check engine" light to come on like it had been doing, checked for codes, nothing. I took it over to a friends house to see if we could bring up a stored code, nothing. I drove it around for over an...

    Which Spark Plug??

    A lot of people use Autolite 24's because they are a colder plug than the factory 25's. Our engines have a tendency to ping with the stock tune, a colder plug helps to eliminate this.

    Check engine light after oil pressure switch replacement?

    Just got a call back from the dealer. They said they ran the car for about an hour, and drove it around for a while, and couldn't get the check engine light to come on. Furthermore, they said it had no stored codes! Now I'm really confused. Can the check engine light come on and not throw a...

    Check engine light after oil pressure switch replacement?

    Thanks for the replies, guys. I wasn't sure whether or not the oil pressure switch would be causing the "check engine" light or not. I did notice that the oil pressure gauge now reads between the A and L in N-O-R-M-A-L, it used to read between the N and O. I was wondering whether the change in...

    Check engine light after oil pressure switch replacement?

    I've had a problem recently with oil leaking from my 5.0. I tried to determine where it was coming from, but I couldn't tell for sure. I ended up taking it in to a shop today, they replaced the oil pressure switch and o-rings on the drain plugs. Cool, I thought, problem fixed. Well now I don't...

    Sumitomo 315's....Reviews Please

    I put my 315/35 17 Sumitomos on my car about 10,000 miles ago, and they seem to be holding up well. I really cant see any wear on them, still a lot of tread left. I don't think they have a lot of grip/traction, as I can easily light them up even with a stock motor/AODE, but I rarely do burnouts...

    ? on 95 GT 5-speed 351w swap

    If you are moving to San Diego, you might want to reconsider the engine swap. I have heard that it is impossible/not legal to register a vehicle out here with a different engine than it was produced with from the factory.

    Stuck in park - help!

    My car does the same thing sometimes. What I do is turn the engine off, slide the shifter into neutral, restart the car, and go. Freaked me out the first time it happened though. Hopefully this helps.

    big speed bumps are satans weapons against mustangs

    Do you still have your quad-shocks on? Because if you have taken them off to install wide tires you may be experiencing rear wheel hop under hard braking. Mine does this occasionally.
