    '91 5.0 no go. Help!

    Ok, Im still not 100% sure, but im reading that SD Stangs are bank firing whereas MAF Stangs are sequential. Can any experts confirm this?

    '91 5.0 no go. Help!

    Good advice, but i think the EEC-IV in the mustangs are batch fire. Meaning the injectors fire in 2 banks, left and right, not sequentially. I could be wrong though.

    Ghetto spool?

    I drive a Samurai daily with a welded rear, you get used to the sounds, and looks from people when you turn hard on sticky pavement. It pushes a little in the rain, but traction is 100% better than open.

    Fuel delivery problem..

    FOund out my wiring diagram was wrong! THe colors they said went too the fuel pump relay actually were the colors going to the WOT AC cut-out relay. Turned out to be the inertia switch. I tested the fuel pump manually, good, then powered it from the inertia switch, then from the inertia...

    Fuel delivery problem..

    Ok guys, after solving the ignition porblems yesterday with an 88 bronco II, we now have a fuel delivery problem. Fuel pump on frame is not running, doesn't prime when you turn the key, and the 2.9L won't run without fuel pressure. Pulled plug on the pump, no power there. Moved up to the...

    Not mustang, but TFI-IV question..

    New coil fired it right up. I knew something was up when there was no resistance between the coil wire tower and either of the small terminals. THanks for the help. Oh and BTW. when we changed the TFIs it would run for 15 seconds, then not again. After we changed the coil, it worked...

    Not mustang, but TFI-IV question..

    Hey guys, Trying to help my uncle get his ranger going. The thing ran fine for a long time, the other day in my driveway it stalled, would not fire. No spark. He changed the TFI and it fired for about 15 seconds then died and would not restart. I checked the harness for visible damage/...

    145 top speed

    The speedo in my 87GT only goes to 180km/h. It passes the last mark around 4k in 4th (2.73s). My car is bone stock. But i figured id give it a run since I put new tires and wheels on it. Needle was pointing almost 6 o'clock which i estimate to be 210km/h. 131MPH for you americans...

    Strange popping after driving hard...

    Hey Guys, 87GT with 173000kms. I have noticed that after i have driven it hard for a while (ie going up a long grade) that under partial thorttle afterwards, it will "pop". Hard to determine if it's an exhaust or intake backfire since I have quiet mufflers. If I lay into it, it will...

    Mustang help

    If it runs fine cold, but when warms up it dies it could be two things in my mind. Either an electrical device is failing when it reaches temp (maybe TFI module??) or once the computer gets out of closed loop, something bad happens causing the problems.

    Quick Question..

    Im just about done doing a general tune up on my 87 GT. Where the hell is the PCV? I looked quickly and didn't see it. The part i picked up form the store looks to be the type that fits into the valvecover, but no such thing exists on my stang. Can someone shed some light? /Puts on...

    heater core :(

    Careful, my car was non-AC (from the factory) but when i got my core, it was the wrong one. Inlets were centered. Turned out i needed an AC version with the outlets off to one side for my original non AC car. Don't know what ford was thinking..

    Mod recommendations for 87 GT

    Wow. Tons of controversy on the SD vs MAF topic. Basically, I'm going to stick with the SD setup until I do more serious mods to the engine. Probably a stupid question, but with the stock fuel system, is there somewhere to adjust the pressure, or is that only an option with an aftermarket...

    Mod recommendations for 87 GT

    Thanks for the input guys. I am currently in the process of undoing what 4 yrs of storage does to a car. All fluids are getting changed. New Heater core, fixing previous owners hack jobs. The car already looks low enough to me with the GT skirts, so i'm gonna leave the suspension alone...

    Mod recommendations for 87 GT

    I realize that new heads and intake would make a world of difference. But I'm not interested in dropping that kind of cash on this car. Short of H/C/I, what mods are the best bang for my buck?

    Mod recommendations for 87 GT

    Hey guys, I aquired an 87GT with recently. Motor runs very well, has low mileage for the year (173000 kms). I've been reading up on speed density vs mass air setups and decided that the stock HO cam is plenty good for a mild mod car. I have yet to check if my 87 has the early more...
