    Autolite Sparkplug Question.

    I always go ahead and check the gap. It really takes no time and its good to know for sure your gap is right.

    Cat removal / Running problems?

    He did not specify which O2 sensors he was talking about and when he said that they have nothing to do with the problems. True the rear ones would not cause the problems but the front ones most def. would. Sry bout jumping the gun a bit :D

    Not so awesome night

    I am glad no real damage occurred because the tire was really hot when i took it off and it was about to come apart. Then I would be looking for a new fender because that would of been pretty messed up. Right now the plan is to get the tire patched and then try to go on my relaxing drive...

    Not so awesome night

    So tonight I got out of class at UCF after bombing a physics test and decided to go for a drive. It was nice and cool and it felt good to open her up on some back roads. While coming around a curve at about 75mph my front left tire decides its the best time to blow. So as I fight to keep the car...

    My car is running soooo bad

    I would first drive to an Auto parts store and have them scan your ecu for codes. A lot of them do it for free... Then depending on what codes come up you can trouble shoot more. IMO I would not be surprised if it was one of your up-stream O2 sensors. or may be a dirty MAF

    Cat removal / Running problems?

    WOW, you are way off. :lol: The O2 sensors have everything to do with it. They do not sense exhaust flow and report it back to the ecu. They are measuring the air fuel ratio and tell the ecu if you are lean or rich and then the ecu uses this info to add or take out fuel. So if one is not...

    BF Goodrich KDW IIs in cold weather a no-no?

    I have chit BF Goodrich Touring T/A's on my car and they are an "all season" tire but here in Orlando it is about 50 out at night and I have no traction. I guess thats what I get for going dirt cheap on tires. But what are you going to do. I was in a crunch and needed tires fast. :shrug:

    Compression?...Nope

    The way I did the test was as fallows: I first pulled all the plugs to allow the engine to spin more freely and I unplugged the injectors so none of the cylinders would flood. I then screwed compression gauge on to each cylinder and allowed the engine to turn over a good 5 to 6 times to read...

    Compression?...Nope

    I would have to say I drive it like a mustang (+ 3) as well but I keep up with the maintenance. I think there has been a little neglect in this cars past. I love to open her up and drive hard. :D

    Compression?...Nope

    I am now wondering what the hell previous owners did to this poor car. I bought it about 3 years ago and I am the 5th owner. But in the time I have had it I have kept up with all the fluid changes and really tried to treat it right.

    Compression?...Nope

    Well it is not ticking or anything and the only noticeable difference is the oil dip stick, a lil smoke and its lil down on power. I guess I will run it till she blows. :p thanks for the feed back.

    Coilovers

    Hey, I am looking at going to a full coil over suspension for my 97 gt. I am looking to go as low as I can but still having it adjustable. I was wondering what set ups were being run and what kind of clearance issues there were with 17 x 10.5 in the back with 315x35x17 tires. any input will be...

    Compression?...Nope

    ugh... this info is a little depressing :( I guess I should save quicker

    Compression?...Nope

    I check it every time I get gas and top it off.. so hopefully I will be good for a lil while linger. I am at 100k miles not and I need a few more while I get money together! :D

    Compression?...Nope

    HA I was no where near that kind of pressure.:damnit: I let the engine crank several times on each cylinder to build up pressure. It still runs strong but i have to add a quart of oil every 300-400 miles and I have no leaks.. so yea she smokes especially in these colder months. As long as I...

    Compression?...Nope

    Well I decided to do a compress test on the stang against my better judgment because I knew it would only confirm my fears. Cyl 4 - 145 Cly 8 - 130 Cyl 3 - 93 Cly 7 - 140 Cyl 2 - 120 Cly 6 - 145 Cyl 1 - 145 Cly...

    How to prevent spark plug blowout

    I replaced my plugs and put in some NGK's (NGK Platinum Spark Plugs), torqued everything to spec and tried to start. On start up the cylinder one spark plug blew out and the threads stayed in the engine. Why would this happen and has this happened to anyone? Was it just a defected plug...

    Cat removal / Running problems?

    Went through that same chit with my car 2 weeks ago. They will run you 50 - 65 dollars depending on where you buy them and how long of wire lead they have. IMO i would swap one of the after cat sensors forward and put the crap one in the back. the back ones are not doing anything important...
