    failed california smog

    Nothing wrong with the chip. The car runs much better with it than without it plus I would have to run a stock meter again since my current meter is calibrated for 30s and the car has stock 19s. The chip makes them happy. I have a very good tuner. As stated in an earlier post the bad ECT...

    failed california smog

    after looking at some wiring diagrams I found my problem. When the mass air conversion was done the pins for the TAB and TAD solenoids never got moved. TAD needs to move from pin 11 over to 32. and TAB needs to move from 51 to 38. Entire air injection hasnt worked since the mass air...

    failed california smog

    So I changed the ECT. That cleared the KOER error 41 I was getting but now I am getting a 44 and a 94 I am getting a Memory code of 95 which is the second half of the 95 I get with the KOEO. Fuel Pump secondary circuite failure. I believe this is commen in Mass Air Conversions unless you tap...

    failed california smog

    thanks. The chip in it is made to run on 91 so unless I remove it that part isnt going to help. I don't think the smog tech is going to let me run without the spout connector since they remove it to check base timing then put it back in for the test. right now the big things to check are...

    failed california smog

    So the wonderful state of California lowered the standards from the last time the Mustang had to be smogged so it failed this time which really sucks since I was set to sell it this weekend. It is an 86 5.0 5 speed with mass air conversion. Has all the normal bolt on, CAI in the fender, 65mm...

    Tuning question

    I was just wondering how well the 4.0 can adapt to mods without custom tuning. I know in order to get the best out of the mods tuning is best but is it a must? The reason I ask is I have seen hand held tuners that have a preprogrammed tune specific to use with a CAI. I have also seen one...

    2005 rear speakers

    I thought about either a replacement head unit or a converter and amping everything. I have the amps and a pair of subs. Got a pair of Kicker CompVR 10s that with a PG Octane R8.0.1 to drive them. I also have a PG Octane R8.0.4 for the 4 corners had it driving some Kicker KS 6x9s and 6.5s in an...

    2005 rear speakers

    The speakers in the Shaker 500 are only running 15 watts each? what is that about? they get loud and don't sound too bad for stock. I know the 500 is peak but I would think that the system would have at least half of that RMS. The Kicker KS680s are good even at lower power levels so they...

    2005 rear speakers

    Thanks for the info. The car has the Shaker 500 system. I am just looking for better speakers all around. The Kicker KS680s are the lowest end thing I would even think about. I was looking at the Shelby kit for the 8" in the doors. The kit isnt too bad if it will work. $150 for the kit or...

    2005 rear speakers

    I have read in a couple of different places that on the 05 you do not have to take the quater pannels and everything out to change the speakers. Can anyone confirm this? I found this on another site. It is actually a ford document...

    supercharged 2010 v6

    so you got all this extra air going in from the supercharger but you havent upgraded the exhaust to help get it out? Headers and true duals might be a real good idea. you LSD to help plant the power. suspension is always good too.

    my tach is not working right

    If the used car dealer hadn't agreed to pay for a new cluster I had a back up plan. There is a guy on ebay that offers repairs. He replaces them all for like $100. He only lives about 20 miles from me and said he could do it while I waited. It would take a little over an hour he said. The only...

    another Shaker 500 thread

    anyone?.. After doing more searching today I am not sure that the Shelby subs will work as direct replacements. Reading an install their complete system comes with a new amp and you only use wires from one of the voice coils not both. I think I will be calling on Monday.

    2010 GT vs 2011 Mustang V6

    I figured that once Ford annouced the 2011s GT or V6 that it would kill most sales of the 2010s but people still keep buying them. If I was in the market for a new one I know I would wait or pre-order a 2011. The only thing I would worry about is that with all the major changes there could...

    another Shaker 500 thread

    Sorry to have to ask but my searchs were not turning up any of the answers I was looking for. I have been looking at replacement speakers for the Shaker system. I think that I might go with the Kicker KS680's for the front and back. I guess some people have used the DS680's but I like the KS...

    my tach is not working right

    Sounds like the stepper motor that runs the tach may be going. I have been doing alot of reading about gauges doing this and everything I found says stepper motor. There are places that can replace them for you or if you are good with soldering you can get the stepper motors off ebay for like...

    yet another 5 lug conversion thread

    Thanks for the link. I have already been over that thing a few times. The 86's are kind of an odd ball to start with so getting good information is difficult.

    yet another 5 lug conversion thread

    yet another 5 lug conversion thread

    Thanks for the info. This is on an 86. I know that on one of my 86s. I did the 87-93 brakes with the SVO 73mm calipers and did not change the mc or anything for several years and everything worked great. I was planning to try it without the mc at first and see what it does but I wanted...

    yet another 5 lug conversion thread

    Hey guys long time no post since I don't have either of my 86s anymore. I am in the process of helping my nephew gather parts for his 5 lug conversion. We got a set of SN95 spindles from a 94. We will be installing the 13" rotors with bullitt or cobra calipers. I know I need a line...
