    Methanol injection

    It allows for more timing and should prohibit any detonation. On an N/A motor, it really doesn't matter whether or not you use water or a water/meth solution. The results should be the same. Read up on it, it is not new technology. The military used it as far back as WWII and Holley offered it...

    MIL eliminators

    You can make them pretty cheap with stuff from Radio Shack or you can order them off ebay. Several retail places sell them for about $60 that just plug in. I bought mine off ebay from a dude in Michigan for $14 including postage. He sends them US Mail (it may take a freaking week but it's cheap)...

    Trying to get a new head unit installed

    I searched real hard and couldn't find any harness to use back before I did mine. Keep in mind that I had the Mach 1000 (6 amps). Even so, I got several different answers in my search of local sound shops. I don't mess with the big-box guys for anything other than CD's (not a diss to the...

    Trying to get a new head unit installed

    1BAD: I only utilized part of the factory harness from what I can remember. I am a bit of a perfectionist though. I only used ignition from what I recall and re-wired the whole thing, replaced all speakers, and chunked the Mach 1000 junk. (Some idiot paid me a pile of cash for that stuff!)...

    Snow Methanol Injector Placement ?!?!?!?

    Sorry to hijack but what mix are you running with that isoprophyl?

    Snow Methanol Injector Placement ?!?!?!?

    As far as placement, I'm single stage and I went after the air sensor. The water is supposed to be "vaporized" anyway. As for meth versus water deal, theoretically, you should be okay on just water (as far as detonation). I also like the idea of isopropanol versus meth. At least iso isn't...

    noisy engine

    I also have a minor noise from under there somewhere. My Ford service manager buddy said it may be the cam syncronizer. Because the noise has not progressed into anything scary, I'll change the idler pulley first. I'm thinking it will be much cheaper and easier!

    No oil on my dipstick!?

    I know that not too many insurance companies will write business policies on oil change places because of the liability issues associated with them. For instance, if they have to pay $1500 per year for insurance and they forget to install just one oil drain plug, it'll cost the insurance company...

    I noticed something about using different fuels, do you notice the same?

    I never noticed much difference in any brand I used while out on the road (first 40,000 miles). When I reprogrammed with the Predator, I noticed a huge difference in brands of 93. The difference was in detonation not peppyness.

    Vacuum

    It's still there. I think it's a bad switch because the line I'm tapped into originates at the same point as the one for the fuel pressure sensor. I appreciate the help with this one. Because we are still feeling the effects of Katrina down here, it's tough getting to parts houses and/or wal...

    Vacuum

    Where is the line for the fuel pressure sensor located? Thanks

    Vacuum

    I'm using an adjustable vacuum switch on my water injection and I pretty sure it (the switch) is not functioning properly. I have adjusted it in increments and the results are not monumental in difference. I have an led which lets me know when it is activated. I know that either the switch is...

    Is there any difference in vacuum pressure between the green lines and the red lines?

    No cats! I'm not touching what to do after that...

    Fix your Slow dropping/hanging RPMs

    Done! That took all of 30 mins start to finish. I used some aluminum flashing. My GT only utilizes one hole in there (on the IAC), the other is dead space. Nice roll-off in rpm's, just like the carburetor days.

    Irritating Noise

    It sounds kinda like a really low bell ringing sound. It reminds me of the sound that a loud speedo cable makes. It is very hard to describe the sound. Cruising range driving around town. I don't notice it over the wonderful deep cabin drone when I'm at wide open throttle!

    Irritating Noise

    I've had this irritating noise from the engine compartment for a while now but it's time to make it go away. So you'll know, I am not referring to the noises that the power steering rack makes. I do know that the bushings are a problem and that Ford has no permanent fix for that. Back to the...

    H-pipe removal problems

    PB Blaster is one of two things available at the parts house that will "unsieze" that bolt. Spray can, a few bucks.

    Guys I Need Some Help!!!!

    The "squeak" sounds like clutch abuse. I don't know about the hesitation or popping. I know if I hit 3rd hard but don't break the tires lose, it will do that squeaky thing.

    A few rookie questions

    Dude, I love my car but I'd love it more if it had 4V heads!!! Look for a Mach but you'll never regret a 99-04 GT either.
