    Here's the procedure from the shop manual; "Turn ignition to RUN or ACC. Momentarily jump pins in programming connector located in left rear quarter panel area. All doors will lock then unlock to confirm programming mode. Press any button on 1st transmitter. Door locks will lock then unlock...

    tps

    Do a search guys. This topic has been covered many many times both here and on the Corral. Resetting the TPS position is a waste of time on the 94/95 cars and could potentially cause it's own problems. Read the following links for examples...

    tps

    That won't do anything. The PCM takes a baseline TPS reading when the key is turned on. That baseline reading becomes the closed throttle refrence. Doesn't matter if its .90 or 1.15V.

    Need New Spark Plug Wires Need Opionins PLEASE

    I've read a number of posts where the MSD's crapped out after 6 months causing the owners no end of grief. (the wires are only 6 months old...how could they be bad?) Read the following threads for examples; http://www.corral.net/forums/showthread.php?t=540360...

    Which 5.0 handles better?

    I've owned 3 Fox 5L Mustangs prior to my 95 GT in the past 17 years(One of them was a '90 5L LX that I bought brand new). None of them could hold a candle to the SN95. The 95 is a waaaaaaaay more solid car. It's ride is extremely comfortable on the highway, yet still stiff enough for...

    Barometric pressure sensor?

    I stand corrected! :doh: I've been talking with a guy at The Corral who says there is an actual BAP sensor located inside the case of the PCM on 94/95's. The MAF meter is not used in this calcualtion. I'll post more when I find out where he gets his info from. I must admit I'm becoming...

    ODB 1 or 2 ???

    The 95 5.0 mustang uses OBD I. 100% absolutely positively!!!! There are many ref's for this. eg. Ford shop manual CD, Haynes manual, etc. The 95 3.8L V6 cars were OBDII. That is where the confusion starts. To make things even more confusing, Ford installed the OBDII connector under the...

    why would the idiot light for airbag come on?

    The other day on the drive home from work, I took one of the corner's in a "spirited" fashion. It was raining so the rear end swung out a bit on me. About 5 seconds later after I straightened the car out, the Air Bag idiot light starts flashing at me. It does this for about 10 seconds and...

    Barometric pressure sensor?

    That's not quite correct. All of the MAF Fox Mustang's used a BAP sensor. The speed density 5.0's used a MAP (Manifold Absolute Pressure) sensor. The sensor itself looks the same for MAF and speed density. The only difference was the MAP sensor was connected by a vacuum line to the intake...

    Desperate, tempted to sell!

    Ok. That's an important piece of information. :) You're right, its probably not the sensor's. I would say based on that, go back and make sure everything you installed is torqued down correctly. It sounds like a major vaccuum leak to me now. The other thing to look at would be the C&L...

    Barometric pressure sensor?

    I'm trying to eliminate a very minor random tremor at idle. It shows up as the RPM's drop below 1000. Most people don't notice it until I point it out to them. The idle RPM doesn't change at all on the tach (700 RPM), but it's just enough to cause the engine to shake a slight amount. (I...

    Desperate, tempted to sell!

    I would check for codes if you haven't already done it. You could have some trouble codes stored without the CEL coming on. Besides, it only takes 5 minutes to do and then you've eliminated that possible cause of your idle problems. One more thing, as I mentioned in my earlier post, how old...

    Desperate, tempted to sell!

    I don't want to sound too paternal here, but you didn't mention it so I have say it. The first thing I would do is check for computer trouble codes. I've owned a number of different Ford's over the years, and they've all had a wandering idle to one extent or another when I bought them. I've...

    Barometric pressure sensor?

    Cool. That's what I figured. I guess that's also why a dirty/faulty Mass Air meter seems to cause more havoc on a 94/95 vs a Fox. Has anyone come across a book or a website that explains the differences between the Fox computer's and the 94/95 computer's? Thanks

    Barometric pressure sensor?

    The comp does need to know what the baro pressure is.....so can any one confirm how it determines the baro pressure? The MAF sensor is the only way I can think of.

    No problem. Like I said earlier, nice job on the Volvo converison :nice: You must take more than a few people by surprise at stoplights! :)

    gt40p explorer intake

    With ref to the air temp, the engine is just a big heater. With the ACT sensor in the intake tube, it is much further away from the heat source, therefore getting a much more accurate OAT reading. When the ACT sensor is attached to the "heater" (#5 intake runner), it is not getting a true OAT...

    gt40p explorer intake

    There's a debate about this on corral right now; http://www.corral.net/forums/showthread.php?t=530863 One more thing, when measuring the air temp of a typical floor heater, where are you going to see a hotter temp? One foot from the heater or on the metal case of the heater? :) Cheers

    gt40p explorer intake

    Not trying to start an argument here. BUT! I've talked to alot of experienced SN95 guys who have done the swap back to the Fox A9l computer and intake manifold. They all said they had to make adjustments (tweecer) because the ACT sensor was in the lower manifold on the foxes vice the intake...
