    Hot starting issues

    I have an '03 auto, and my car has recently started having this problem with 37,000 miles on it. It's been having a hard time starting the first time around for the last month or so. On the second try, it always starts. I have not tried turning the key and letting the fuel pump prime...

    The drone, the drone,AAGGGHHH!

    That remedy also fixes that little buzzing I get in the back on occasion. Actually it's not a little buzzing, it's a very loud buzzing. :( Makes me angry. Now, I have a knocking sound coming from the back right of the car. :mad:

    just put on my SLP X!!

    No light here either. I have a Pypes catted X and a Magnaflow catback. I never saw a light come on. One of my cats even went bad for a while, too. After that I replaced them both with higher-quality high-flow cats, and I've never seen a light with those either. I've probably driven it...

    The drone, the drone,AAGGGHHH!

    I have had MAC cat back and a Magnaflow catback. I had a bad rattle in the rear that was coming from the loud MAC, so I switched to Magnaflow and that fixed my problem. I have a catted X pipe and Magnaflow cat back as of the moment. This afternoon I'm going to Flowmaster 40s in my Magnaflow...

    Is an '05 V6 a good upgrade from '03 V8?

    Yes, I sure am. I can see an '06 or '07 stang in my future too. The '03 is going to get some Flowmaster 40's put on today. :) Swapping my magnaflow mufflers out for those. The 40s will be hooked up to my Magnaflow CB. Should sound good!

    Is an '05 V6 a good upgrade from '03 V8?

    Ha ha... nice one Kevin. But, not true. :) I decided to keep my '03 GT. I have great monthly payments on it, and if I got the '05 I'd have to pay around $450 a month. When I'm setup to pay my car off in around 2 years at $270 a month... well, you see how it is. I'd rather keep it, pay it...

    3.73 or 4.10s for my V6 auto?

    I have 4.10 in my auto '03 V8. You can't beat them for super torque. I'd say that they would be great for a V6. Gas will suffer somewhat. At least, it has for me. Then again, you are driving a V6 as opposed to my V8, so I'm not sure if it would effect you as much or not. If you are...

    Is an '05 V6 a good upgrade from '03 V8?

    OK! I test drove the '05 V6 today. It is the light blue color with a charcoal cloth interior, shaker 500 system, and an auto. I'd have to say I was very impressed, especially for a V6. It only had 11 miles on it, and the salesman was really cool and told me to just take it out for a spin...

    Is an '05 V6 a good upgrade from '03 V8?

    Chassis improvements Thanks for the input NJstangpilot. I do love a car that handles well, and to be honest, I prefer that over acceleration. After all, we sure as heck turn a lot more than we take off! I will definitely post here after the test drive. If the car handles beautifully...

    Is an '05 V6 a good upgrade from '03 V8?

    Went by the dealer.... I went by the dealer yesterday and looked at a light blue V6 auto. I have to say, that is a sweet, sleek car. It's the first time I've really looked at one up close. Pending a test drive (which I hope to take this afternoon) I will probably make my decision from that...

    Is an '05 V6 a good upgrade from '03 V8?

    this is true Yesssss... this I feel as well. I know they turn my head as of the moment. But I do have to ask myself for how long will they do that? For 1, maybe 2 years? If I keep it really clean all the time it probably will, and if I get a good color. But if I keep my '03, a body...

    Is an '05 V6 a good upgrade from '03 V8?

    If you don't listen to it, maybe I should! :D I appreciate your thoughts. The '03 GT I have now I can get more out of than I owe on it by a couple thousand, easy, just by going to Carmax and selling it to them. They have given me very competitive prices in the past, and right around KBB...

    Is an '05 V6 a good upgrade from '03 V8?

    Hey all. I am trying to make up my mind to keep the '03 GT I have now (see sig for what I have done with it) or to go with an '05 V6. Here's my thoughts: I drive a lot. So, I like to have something I enjoy driving, yet something decent on gas. Every month my gas bill for my GT rivals my...

    2003 auto GT - Shifts seem too rough, could use some of your thoughts.

    thanks for the replies That's what I was thinking. Thanks for your thoughts guys. I'm trying to figure out what I should do at this point. I have the option of trading my current '03 GT for an '05 V6. I would miss the loss in power, but to be honest, I don't think I'd miss it that...

    2003 auto GT - Shifts seem too rough, could use some of your thoughts.

    Yes, I have checked all of those. I've set my shift pressures all to Stock. Now, I did leave my RPM Shift Points at what the predator tune sets them, which I assumed is stock because it doesn't seem any different when driving. I could be wrong. But, I'm not hitting those shifts unless I go...

    2003 auto GT - Shifts seem too rough, could use some of your thoughts.

    Hey guys. Got a transmission question for you. I have 4.10 gears in my auto GT, 2003. Even though I have programmed my car with a Diablosport predator, the car seems to act like it still wants the 3.27 gears. What I mean is, even though the speedometer is calibrated, the rest of the...

    Help me choose the right cat-back!

    I second Magnaflow. I had Magnaflow at first, then switched to MAC, and I'm right back with Magnaflow - it is the best!

    MAGNAFLOW cat back installed!

    Guess I'll get a hammer and go beat the pipe until it is out of the way. Just kidding. :)

    MAGNAFLOW cat back installed!

    Ok. I might look at that. If I don't feel comfortable or don't have time this weekend, I'll definitely let the shop do it. I'd like to hear your car with the bassani X! Got any sound files?
