    No fuel psi at key on

    Quit throwing parts at it until it gets fixed. This is hard on the pocket book. I don't know what a used map cost, but you can check yours with a multimeter for free. or for $3 bucks for a cheap one at Harbor freight. This is just MHO but a map sensor wouldn't prevent the pressure from rising at...

    Rear end??

    More than likey the backlash isnt set correctly. When pressing lightly the teeth are probably riding on the outer edge. Probably a poor install. Nothing to really worry about, not going to break any teeth or anything unless your pushing 350 + HP

    custom exhaust work

    Going to pull the old exhaust off tomorrow and take the parts I need to the shop to get 2 1/2 bent up. I don't really like the idea of a local muffler shop persoanlly bending my exhaust for me. Think maybe I will buy a pre-bent tail pipe setup. They all have to pass the same specs. Thanks again...

    custom exhaust work

    Thanks guys for the suggestions. I haven't been to a muffler shop in a very long time. I checked one out locally, and the suggestion worked out perfectly. Guess most exhaust shops these days "or always for all I know" get most of there pipes straight and bend them themselves. I was told if I cut...

    Winter Is Coming!?!

    yea, and besides insurance plus storage insurance (if you owe on the car otherwise cancel the insurance all together) should be cheaper than the insurance you have now.

    How much horsepower and i looking at?

    F.Y.I.-"bigger wires" wont add H.P. Typically speaking, "bigger wires" help cut down on interference between wires. Unless you go to a high performance wire that is would much more tightly, a "bigger wire" will do absolutely nothing to cut back resistance through the wire. (I.E. 8.0 vs. 8.8mm)...

    Winter Is Coming!?!

    Storage insurance is like $8 per month. If she's willing to share the car, Do it man. Other people seem to risk it, you may not have a problem. But come December, I'm willing to bet you you're going to start seeing a few less mod posts (as is normal on all RWD thread forurms come winter) and a...

    custom exhaust work

    Yea, I'm not moving much till I find out where to get these short 2 1/2" bent exhaust extentions from the back of the x to the mufflers.

    Winter Is Coming!?!

    That sucks. What if you offer yo pay the "storage" insurance on it for the winter?

    Winter Is Coming!?!

    These cars aren't exactly made for winter driving. my advice? Take that 5-6 hundred and buy your self a winter car. There are obvious things you can do like add weight, get an "all-season" tire or winter tire. High performance or ultra high performance simply will not cut it in the snow or even...

    custom exhaust work

    Well, thanks for the input everyone. Seems I am at a COMPLETE standstill. I ordered the mufflers and x. What I didn't think about is the short (10"-12"?) pipe that has the flanges on one end that bolts onto the x and welds directly onto the mufllers on the other. Seems I can't find 2 1/2 peices...

    custom exhaust work

    I do race Test and tune. Not really on a serious level. I just figured if it gave me a tenth or two then great. Figured since I was in hopes of installing this week that I'd check into it a bit to make it a one time deal.

    custom exhaust work

    Ok, So I've done a search and it seems my lack of termanlogy is off a little. Evidently "dumps" are not what I'm looking for. I've had my 2 chambers sitting in my trunk for a little under 2 months now and am finally a proud owner of a brand new UPR O/R X that just arrived today. So I may get...

    Why does my new motor smoke???

    Breaking in a motor usually consists of just breaking in the rings. It's not that you haven't broken it in properly, it may "possibly" be the rigns havn'et broken in yet, (If the cylinders became glazed over to soon from synthetics, heavy loads with conventional oil should still help the rings...

    Fuel injector readings

    So today we are doing fuel injector testing. I say what the hell I'll test mine. So I pull the car in do the test and here are the results. KOEO-around 38-40 P.S.I before each test. After 100 pulses it dropped between 12 and 16 P.S.I. So the max varience in difference should be 1.5 P.S.I. and...

    sticking idle

    TPS--Duh, Why didn't I think of that? J or Hissin have either of you had to work on the relatively new "TBW" (throttle by wire) cars yet? What a nightmare.

    302,351 parts compatibility

    Subscribing to thread. 351 and 302 parts are mostly interchangeable from what I understand. I could run a search on t/c but since I have other questions anyways what the hell. What about a T/C?? Are they interchangeable? What about the computer? The firing order would have to be the same I...

    sticking idle

    Sounds mechanical to me. I mean if it was an engine problem it wouldn't have revved to 3000 just to keep from dying, IMHO. I would be willing to guess you have a sticking TB or cable/peddle problem. Have you taken the cable off recently for some reason? Did you adjust the position where the...
