    Do I need to use this head bolt thread "lube"?

    NeverSeez is great stuff. We use it on jet engines quite a bit.

    Question about a/c WOT switch and nitrous

    Exactly... and this should be suggested to anyone wanting to spray off that relay.

    Question about a/c WOT switch and nitrous

    My only question would be: when does the ECU consider the throttle in WOT? Anything above 3/4? 5/8? 7/8? Only true 100%? Seems to me you'd want to find out at what voltage from the TPS does the ECU consider WOT, and make sure the TPS is set correctly. This is where the switch on the throttle...

    92 foxbody gt running rich all the time. NO POWER

    I'd take a look at that carbon can solenoid. If it were stuck open or leaking, it could be a major vac leak. That would make yer O2 sensors go lean and the ECU would go nuts trying to richen things up. EGR delete should never create a running problem unless it's a vac leak. N safety switch...

    few questions about my NEW notch.

    Longer pushrods are OK, and it is a good way to get the right lifter preload if you have to adjust for large amounts of gap. Ford sells the shims as the proper way to adjust the rocker height to set proper lifter preload. I believe the .030 shims will tighten the turns by about 1/4 turn, and the...

    Bad Codes

    Thats really tucked up in there, aint it. Fun stuff! OTOH, you'r car's pretty clean up in there for being 24 years old. Yeah, the heater core is going to have to wait till Spring cuz me and the '87 don't have a garage. Kinda strange... it's winter, so I need the heater, but have to wait till...

    new parts no start...

    You dont need a scope to read codes. There's about a billion posts in here on how to do it without the reader. Although I bought my reader from Pep Boys for about $30.

    new parts no start...

    Are you saying with key on, engine off that the pump runs full time? I believe (and I could be wrong) that the computer runs the pump for its initial 3-5 seconds for start prime. Could be a stuck fuel pump relay. I'd also check codes.

    Bad Codes

    Mine's running pretty good right now, and like I said, the only codes I get are emissions related which have all been cleaned out. So I'm gonna let it ride. I did have the same A9S in my conversion, have since changed to an A9P (AOD) and it actually made the car run better. Starts faster and...

    Bad Codes

    It just never stops, does it... I get the Thermactor codes with my 20 yr old FMS MAF conversion kit, but thought it was because all that stuff has been cleaned out. ;)

    Bad Codes

    Original Owner... awesome! No, there's not many of us. You aint kidding that intake plumbing is tight! You've changed where a few things sit in that compartment, haven't you. So after all this, did you end up getting the codes all cleared up?

    Best Short Throw?

    Hell, I want one of those MGW's and I have an AOD... :cool:

    3G Alternator Upgrade - Remove Old Wires?

    Hadn't thought of that. Mine is crimped and shrink'ed, but solder would have been a good idea to lock out moisture and corrosion...
