    starter blows after car gets to running temp?

    Since you have the extra compression it is going to put more load on your starter. It sounds to me your starter is about to take a dump. That is usally what happens when a starter is about to take a dump.

    Car wont start after new motor and HPP turbo kit (ignition).

    if you know for a fact that you have fuel and spark. I would then check your valve adjustment seeing as it is a new motor it could have been adjusted to tight where you leak compression out of the valve. Recheck valve adjustment to see if you dont have a valve that is slightly stuck open. You...

    Help! Mustang wont start :(

    If itll start for a short while with starting fluid then yes you have elminated a ignition problem and limited down to your not getting fuel. I would go out a buy a fuel pressuse gauge at your local auto parts store (should be pretty cheap) and check to see if you have good fuel pressure. If...

    Restore for blowby

    I personaly am not a fan of any addictives. Those things are just a temporary cover up on the real root cause. If i where you i would do a compression check. If the compression check shows weak rings. Then maybe it's time to think about a rebuild.

    Front end suspension.....

    IF the innner tie rod end has lots of play it would be hard to tell if the bearing also had play. Once you get the inner tie rod done you can recheck your bearings but i would just repack them any way.

    Why am i running a second slower with the charger?!!

    It sounds like you have a vacuum leak. If this has happend ever since you changed your intake i wouldnt doubt it. Your mainfold is fine with stock head and cam. Like the previous post above said spray the car down with some carb clean to look for a vac. leak.

    Damn that was weird, heat spike?

    The first thing i would do before you drive it again is check the coolant level. When the air pokets leave the system coolant has to fill that hole so the level goes down. Make sure level is good and top it off. Run your car for a while at idle with the rad. cap off. This will allow air...

    Input needed from someone familiar with wiring electric fans...

    I am taking it you have a 5 prong relay if no this will retain. You should have #'s on your relay or each prong 86&85 coil windings 87A, 87, and 30. You'll need 12v to 86 and thermo grounding switch to 85. When thermo switch grounds relay well engergize and close. Now youll also need a 12v...

    problems bleeding brakes

    If you have neglected to change your brake fluid periodically you could have absored to much water (since brake fluid is hydroscopic it absorbs water). You can reach the limit of water absorbtion and get condinsation in the lines and reduce the boiling point of the fluid. Any way what i am...

    Syncromesh in a T-5??

    syncromesh is a petroleum based product. You will swell the o-rings inside your rack and casue a bunch of internal leaks and no longer have p/s. You will also contaminate the hoses. Itll make for a expensive job to fix it all. Stick with atf.
