    Car sputtering during bumps??

    Wow, it's been a while! :SNSign: This has recently started happening to me. I'll be driving along and hit a bump. All of a sudden the car sputters about 3-5 times; a feeling as if it's not getting ANY spark during each sputter. After that, it goes back to normal. It only does it during bumps...

    Lifetime of stock H?

    the lights were a gift. the chin spoiler was also a gift if i remember. "other cosmetic stuff" is little free things. i did have a pypes catted x last year but the cats blew out. since then i moved out, graduated and became fully independent, so mustangs have been off my mind for a little...

    buzzing sound from bellhousing when cold?

    whenever i start up the car, i hear a buzzing/hiss sound coming from the clutch it seems. if i press the clutch pedal, it lessens until i lift it up again. it also sometimes lessens after being driven for a while. any ideas? could it be my throwout bearing? thanks.

    Lifetime of stock H?

    Man, I haven't posted here in a while... Anyway, I still have my stock (yes, that factory paperweight) on my car with over 130K miles. I need more incentive to change the idea of getting a new midpipe from a "want" to a "need", as I am paying off a bunch of things. So, how long do these...

    I miss my exhaust! need catted opinions

    and what about slp? i wouldnt mind spending the money if it's worth it. if the quality of the cats is pretty good, what about sound comparison between the two? seems like a similar crossover though. does slp have a higher cfm than upr or others?

    I miss my exhaust! need catted opinions

    I really want an exhaust system, now that i'm graduating college and working full time, i can afford it easily. i used to have a catted x but the engine mounts failed and shattered the porcelin due to vibration. returned it, spent the money on other stuff. i have pretty much have everything...

    cure for throttle body whistle?

    UPDATE: i took a look at it again. seems that the butterfly valve was getting stuck right before it fully closed. that explained the surging idle and explain why blipping the throttle made it go back down. once down, it idles perfect. i modified my spring to have more tension. so now it feels...

    cure for throttle body whistle?

    i installed a 75mm TB and i have two problems: 1. there's a varying-tone whistle when i start to give it throttle. it will fade as i give it more throttle. 2. also, my idle seems to hang at times. when i'm cruising at 2k, for example, and let off the gas and put it in neutral, the rpms will...

    spark plug gap for headswapped cars

    i at least recall for mine that it was smoother going from the .054 gap to .040. my current plugs, though they're a year old, are gapped to .040 and the engine purrs.

    Seafoam is teh *****!

    goddamn! well, i tried putting it in my pcv earlier than i thought. well, i didnt use the pcv tube, i used the little tube with the red wires coming out of it. i put approx a half can (maybe less) in there. it really does want to rev high when putting it in there, sorta scared me. waited...

    Seafoam is teh *****!

    i believe it cured my detonation problem. i put a can in my gas tank today with some 93 octane. also put half a bottle in my oil. cant really tell yet if it runs quieter. very smooth idle though. good product. i'm going to run it through my pcv in the next few days.

    spark plug gap for headswapped cars

    well, i just cured the detonation problem! turns out it just had bad gas. i went to sunoco, put in some 93 and poured in a bottle of sea foam (just in case). all cured! anyway, i still need to do my plugs. i actually recall now that when i gapped them smaller, it made a better difference. i...

    spark plug gap for headswapped cars

    i'm going to bump this old thread again, as i realized i never responded as to whether i was still pinging with the smaller gap. well, i forgot if it went away. it was over a year ago. equally saddly, is i havent changed my plugs in that time. im noticing some detonation under load at low...
